mmaweekly says it's gonna be at Glory 11 in Amsterdam:
The 29-year-old Strikeforce heavyweight champion is expected to face original "Ultimate Fighter" alum Sam Hoger at Glory 11 on Oct. 17 in his home city of Amsterdam.
Triple Crown Fighter's Steve Ruisch, who brokered the deal for Hoger, told MMAWeekly.com Monday afternoon that the deal was "95 percent finalized."
Awesome...
"Sam Hoger has tentatively agreed to face Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem for the Shooto organization in Japan. Our source informed us that both fighters have verbally agreed to the deal. Bout agreements have not been distributed but are expected shortly."
Shooto is probably a mistake. Holland’s Glory events use Shooto rules and Alistair is scheduled to fight a their Decade show in Amsterdam, Oct 17th. I guess Hoger will be his opponent.
Also Ultimate Glory events are sometimes referred as Shooto Glory here. Martijn de Jong is both a matchmaker for Glory and Shooto Europe president.

Maybe... but the report says Shooto in Japan. It could be referring to the Oct. 30th Vale Tudo Japan 2009 card, which is promoted by Sustain, a Shooto license holder
