Sylvia keen to fight Overeem

Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia has revealed he would be keen on a fight with Alistair Overeem at Strikeforce.

Sylvia, who will fight Polish strongman Marisuz Pudzianowski on Friday, would also like a rematch with Fedor Emelianenko.

Sylvia told TapouT Radio last night: “I would definitely like to get back in the UFC or Strikeforce. We have talked with Strikeforce but right now we don’t know what is happening right now. There is guys I want to fight in both shows.

“I would imagine Strikeforce would be better for me because they would be a little more lenient with me instead of locking me down, there is a lot of things you can’t do when you fight for the UFC. With Strikeforce I could probably fight more often, the UFC has so many top guys now that they are only fighting twice a year and I don’t want to do that.

“I want to fight Overeem, Fedor again, Werdum is a goof fight and me and Rogers would be a good fight. Arlovski I think would be [like our fight] number three again, me knocking him out. I think I ruined the poor guy, since I knocked him out he hasn’t been the same.”
