“First of all, he would have loved to have had the opportunity to fight for the title, but Alistair is a fighter, and as a fighter he will fight whoever they put in front of him,” Overeem’s manager Glenn Robinson of Authentic Sports Management told MMAWeekly Radio recently.

“Reality is, he’s training extraordinarily hard, and whoever gets in front of him is going to meet a completely different Alistair. This guy is just dedicated to rebuilding and rededicating himself.”

“He wants to come back as soon as he can. We have to wait until the Nevada State Athletic Commission can give him the license, and he’s doing everything he can to live by the letter of the law so that there’s no issue with getting that license when the time comes,” Robinson stated.

“He’s going to be ready to fight the second that there’s a fight. He’s not going to need a camp, because he’s never left camp. The day that he’s allowed to be licensed, if they want him to fight the next day, he’ll be ready.”

Some people spend so much time and effort on hatin i cant help butbfeel sorry for them as that is a common outlet of having a frustrating miserable life. I understand if you r a lesnar fan you dont like his last loss but damn.. Get a life

Lesnar vs Overeem is the purest example of how Brock Lesnar is garbage, put somebody in there just as big and roided up and Brock will curl up because he has no business in that cage.

Come on... It's not bashing buddy. What is the roid-monster's biggest MMA accomplishment? He smashed death-bed-Lesnar in the colostomy bag. The guy with the weakest striking since Royce Gracie... He cheated for every significant win he's ever had. "horse meat", is a synonymous joke meaning steroids, because of him.Really... How am I "bashing"? A couple years ago, Overoids looked like Brandon Vera, and he was getting knocked out by every credible MMA striker that he fought. The one exception is a NC, when he smashed Mirko's balls in.He cheated, to pack on 50lbs of muscle, and he won his fights by laying on his opponents. Buentello, he couldn't strike with him. He laid on him until he was exhausted and couldn't fight back. Werdum, he flopped on him and held him down because he couldn't strike with him...What is Overoid's biggest MMA accomplishment? He gets fights and keeps a contract because of his physique, not because of his credentials.

I don't agree with the dude but that wasn't even close to bashing...well that last gem was close.

Bashing?... He's a convicted cheater. And only nitwits like you condone it. He sucks. Deal with it. He's a mediocre fighter who has done nothing but cheat in MMA.What's his biggest accomplishment in MMA? This is where you drool on yourself and say something really retarded.

I couldn't explain how right now, but I would not be shocked to see Overeem fighting on Dec31 FOR A BELT.
