Alistair Overeem defeated Fabricio Werdum in the main event of Saturday night's Strikeforce event in Dallas, winning a unanimous decision and showing why nearly everyone agrees that he's the best heavyweight fighting under the Strikeforce banner.
Overeem did not, however, blow Werdum away, the way many expected him to. Instead, he fought a safe and cautious fight and won a unanimous decision. The judges scored it 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 for Overeem, who defended his performance afterward.
"Fabricio is one of the best grapplers in the world -- I consider him the best grappler in MMA. So we don't want to play with him on the ground," Overeem said.
