Antonio Silva vs Valentijn Overeem, Official for Strikeforce

Valentijn Overeem will collide with Antonio Silva at the upcoming Strikeforce event on December 4. Overeem has been fighting since 1996, and was under the PRIDE, RINGS and Sengoku banner. He put together consecutive knockout victories after a back-to-back loss in 2009. Though he has good hands with great powers, 15 of Valentijn Overeem’s loss has come by way of submission. Antonio Silva, meanwhile, got a pretty successful run at heavyweight since his first appearance in 2005. Silva’s sole defeat came from a unanimous decision loss to Fabricio Werdum in November 2009.

The December 4 Strikeforce will feature a long overdue rematch between Dan Henderson and Renato Sobral, and will take action at the Scottrade Center, in St. Louis, Missouri.
