Say what you want about Rico but he does step it up against top-notch fighters, so I think I don't think he would have won, but he damn sure wouldn't have embarrassed himself. Maybe Dream wants to have a tourny but their isn't enough good fighters, unless you want to see Japanese Pro Wrestlers, so you can't do that. They are losing fans by the min and once they do crown a champ in the LGT HVYWGT or HVYWGT champions all you will hear is the sound of crickets because no one will give a shit.

He would like to fight for titles. He is the best heavyweight Dream has to offer. He's proved it by going undefeated in Dream an Strikeforce. He shold be champion in both. Just like Gilbert Melendez should go to Japan and have the Dream championship too. Overeem wants to fight people who aren’t has beens. He would like to fight for titles.

When he fought bigfoot a couple of years ago he was in horrible shape though his cardio was still pretty good. If i remember correctly he lost a close decision so if he truly has turned things around i would like to see what he can do If that is a recent picture of him i am amazed.

He looks Amazing! Better than he ever did in the UFC. I hope we still get a chance to see the slimmed down Ricco in the cage or ring VERY soon! Is that really a recent picture of Ricco?

As for Alistar, I understand his dismay for DREAM. He claims he has not been paid for past fights covering 2 years. Not many know, but DREAM is in financial crisis and barely keeping it's proverbial head above water.... I thought this was known ever since Overeem said he would not fight….

Plus the guy has 8 fights in 8 months the dude needs a break. I feel bad for Ricco though as I to wanted to see him get a shot at a legit HW.

I still think Overeem would've owned him, though. From the photo Ricco looks like he would have been in shape. I still think Overeem would’ve owned him, though.

As for Ricco, I wonder if they tried Timmay or Monson? Both would have been good choices for Japan.

I was actually looking forward to seeing Suave back in action. Shame Minowa-man couldn't get up to speed in time, he's always entertaining. I personally would have liked to see Rodriguez v Minowa more than Overeem.
