Last we heard, a fight between Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic and Alistair Overeem was not going to be booked by DREAM. Instead, there were rumors of Cro Cop potentially facing Sergei Kharitonov or even middleweight Yoshihiro Akiyama in hopes of drawing much needed ratings.
However, according to a report in the Croatian media, it looks like Overeem and Cro Cop may get their wish after all. I don’t know Croatian and the Google translation of the page isn’t exactly perfect, but it does seem to say what Japan-MMA posted—Cro Cop will fight Overeem at DREAM.6 and DREAM has confirmed it.

Answer me this. Is there any good reason why Alistair Overeem and Cro Cop shouldn’t fight each other at DREAM.6? Yeah, not really. At this point in their careers, they really are the perfect fight for each other. Alistair is trying to reinvent himself as a heavyweight, and a win over Cro Cop would go a long way in establishing himself as a legitimate heavyweight contender. Cro Cop, on the other hand, needs a win over a quality opponent to help restore his image as a top heavyweight after his disappointing losses from last year. Let’s also not forget that these two have been exchanging jabs in the media. Should be a no-brainer, right?
