As Alistair Overeem looks ahead to a future title bout with Junior dos Santos, the Dutchman seems to have figured him out already.
Overeem’s first round win over Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 led to a title shot against the Brazilian, and he hopes on seizing the opportunity, especially since he has aligned himself with Imperial Athletics in Boca Raton, Florida.
And with a new camp on his side, Overeem is confident he can prepare a proper gameplan in order to find holes in the newly-crowned champion.
“The game plan is good to go, I already know how to beat him,” Overeem told MMAFightCorner.com. “It’s just a matter of training and getting my body and mind in the 100 percent condition that it needs to be in, and it’s going to turn out perfectly-just fine.”
Prior to entering the UFC, Overeem made a name for himself throughout the world, competing in K-1 and DREAM. In addition to his success overseas, Overeem has captured numerous titles including the Strikeforce heavyweight title.
His experience and world-class striking will certainly make this heavyweight bout one of the more intriguing fights, stylistically.
And Overeem will look to utilize his striking ability in hopes of exposing dos Santos on May 26th in Las Vegas.
“Every fight style has holes—Dos Santos has them, too. I don’t want to give away the surprise, but you’re going to see it,” he said.
