Alistair Overeem Says Junior Dos Santos is Afraid to Fight Him

Alistair Overeem Says Junior Dos Santos is Afraid to Fight Him

Overeem is calling the champion out?

Alistair Overeem recently spoke about UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos, who he was supposed to face before testing positive for elevated testosterone levels, and more. Check out the highlights:

On Dos Santos: "Junior Dos Santos is the champion for a reason. I'm just going to lay low. I'm going to fight whoever they put in front of me. But I'm going to get my hands on him, and when I do, he's all mine."

On using his forced time off to rest up: "I have not had time off since 2004. That year, I had to cancel some fights with some injuries. Since 2005, I've had four, five, six, even seven fights per year. I never really had a couple months off. So for me now, this is wonderful. I can actually go out and have a social life. I'm continuing to train. I'm continuing to improve my game. But I feel good because I was always in fight preparation ? always, from one guy to the next. Now I'm having some time for myself. I'm using this time wisely. I'm settled into Miami. I really love it there. I'm finishing my house. And if you're in fight preparation all the time, you can't really do that. You're just training all the time, and you have to go to bed every night at 11 p.m., and you're not really meeting new people, so for me, this time off is great. I'm clearing my mind, and I can assure you I'm going to be back stronger in December."

On his recent meeting with Dana White going well: "Dana is an honest guy. He's also a direct guy. We're actually very alike. I'm also very direct. I think we'll get along. We're just taking our time. It was a good meeting. It was very calm. We voiced our opinions about what happened and just took it easy. It was positive. We were actually very much on the same page. He appreciated that I came in to speak to him directly, and I was satisfied after the meeting. It was very positive."

On who he'll face on his return: "For me, it doesn't matter. I have 69 fights under my belt. For me, it doesn't matter who I fight. I don't need to have a warm-up fight. I'm going to leave that up to the gentlemen of the UFC to decide. I'm sure they're going to come up with something interesting. Fine by me. If they want me to go for the title, I'm going to be ready for that. If they don't, I'm also going to be ready."

On Dos Santos: "He can talk all he wants. I know he's very happy that fight didn't happen, and I know he's afraid to fight me. He also knows that I'm the biggest threat out there to him. He knows when he fights me, there's no escape from it. He's going to hit and run, or he's going to go down. Either way, he's going to leave that octagon a loser."

The fuck is this guy talking about? Dos Santos doesn't have to worry about fighting him, because he wont pass a drug test and will be cut by the UFC. Only problem then is he'll still be talking about how Dos Santos is still scared to face him.

Someone has been studying Sonnen-ology. Even failed a drug test to fully immerse himself.

The reems a beast. I not bothered if he juices or not,they all do it just he got caught. Would be a great fight but i think the Reem would win it.

Fact: Alistair Overeem never tested positive for steroids.

I love Overeem in the cage, not so much outside it, and the drug thing is a huge cloud over his head. Also, as unquestionably impressive as he is, he only started racking up wins in mid-2007 when all of a sudden the names opposite him became significantly less impressive.

His last two wins have been big ones, and they certainly put him quite high in contention (provided he's clean), but I won't be surprised or disappointed if Cain vs. JDS happens first.

The only person in the UFC Heavyweight division that runs is Overeem, from drug tests.
