Overeem out of DREAM.15 fight with Rodriguez

Alistair Overeem will not fight Ricco Rodriguez at DREAM.15 – and he may not fight in the promotion ever again, according to his representative.

Martin De Jong, who trains and co-manages the Strikeforce heavyweight champion, said his camp will talk to DREAM representatives at the end of this week to determine Overeem’s future in the Japanese promotion.

“Right now, I can just say he’s not going to fight Ricco, and he’s not sure if he’s going to fight in DREAM,” De Jong said.

“I didn’t get any contract, and Alistair didn’t agree, so it’s not going to happen,” he said.

De Jong said the decision to skip the July 10 date stems from other issues with the promotion.
