from Robert K at freefightvideos:
It looks like Overeem's only chance to fight Mirko Cro Cop this year will really be in the Croatians basement. In yesterdays press conference for Fields Dynamite FEG executive Sadaharu Tanigawa made it official that Mirko Cro Cop would not be fighting Alistair Overeem.

"Alistair is begging for this fight but this fight will not go ahead on NY eve at Fields Dynamite. We will look to mach them up on a different card."

Mirko Cro Cop is a huge star in Japan and this match-up clearly doesn't interest the Japanese public at moment. I'm sure FEG is looking to match him up with a bigger name. As for Overeem a rubber match with Sergei Kharitonov looks likely.
