An Official response from Mirko Crocop "Hi everyone, I've just stopped by to comment some statements made by Alistar Overem and his team. It seems to me that some people should mind their own business. I've never been offered to fight Alistair Overeem. Why would I decline this offer? I came to DREAM to fight the best and I'm looking forward to see DREAM signing more top level heavyweights. Now when Alistair is officially in DREAM, I'll be expecting an official offer from DREAM to fight him and I'm going to accept it with pleasure. I'm not on vacation here, I train hard and I've never picked my opponents. I fought the best fighters in the world already, I don't see why I should have seconds thoughts about fighting Alistair Overeem? On my way back up I need to fight top level competition and I believe that DREAM is perfectly able to put up a strong heavyweight match-up soon. So it's up to DREAM, let's bring it up."
If they're both feeling up for it then the fight will be awesome. If they're both in scared ***** mode, it'll be ****. Lets hope for the former.
Haven't seen many fights in which Overeem fights cautious. He might not always win but he is always aggressive.
I have lost all respect for Crocop. He lost twice in the UFC and then pisses off to DREAM, i would have liked to see him try and avenge one of his losses before departing.
" Hi everyone, I've just stopped by to comment some statements made by Alistar Overem and his team." Where did Cro Cop post at?
When has Mirko avenged any of his losses, aside from Randleman? This is a pretty decent fight though. Both are flakey so it will be boom or bust.
