Alistair Overeem Destroys Tony Sylvester at Ultimate Glory 11
Date submitted: 19 October 2009
Author: Michael David Smith
    
 
  
Alistair Overeem hasn't fought in the United States since winning the Strikeforce heavyweight championship two years ago, but on Saturday he beat an overmatched American, Tony Sylvester, in Shooto Holland: Ultimate Glory 11 - A Decade of Fights event in Amsterdam.
 
Overeem's first-round submission win was short and not particularly good: Overeem landed a hard knee to Sylvester's face, knocked him to the ground, landed a couple of punches, let him back up, and then forced him to tap with a standing guillotine choke. The whole fight lasted just under a minute and a half. Sylvester never went on the offensive at all.
 
Let's hope Overeem, who has a busy schedule ahead of him, fights some better opponents soon. He might fight again next weekend at Dream 12, although an opponent has not been announced, and he is slated to fight in the K-1: World Grand Prix 2009 Final 16 in December. After that he's finally expected to make his return to the United States and defend the Strikeforce heavyweight belt - maybe against the best heavyweight in the world, Fedor Emelianenko.
 
A fight with Fedor would be tremendous, and the K-1 World Grand Prix features the best field of kickboxers in the world, so hopefully we'll get to see Overeem, who improved his professional MMA record to 30-11, test himself against high-quality competition going forward. Sylvester, who falls to 11-3, didn't belong in the same ring with him.
