Alistair Overeem Reacts To Mark Hunt’s Cheating Allegations

Mark Hunt is known to speak his mind from time to time and did just that after Alistair Overeem knocked him out at UFC 209 earlier this year. Hunt not only spoke his mind but put Overeem on blast after finding out that Overeem had received an IV to help him get over his food […]

Hunt, who has been very vocal against those who try to get an edge in the sport, did not shy away from his displeasure at the exception made for Overeem. Hunt doesn’t believe that his opponent was really sick, and was instead simply looking for an extra advantage for the bout.

Overeem has had enough of Hunt’s trash talk and decided to fire back at him. To be clear, while Overeem doesn’t take it too personal, he was a bit disappointed in the comments.

“Mark is also one of those veteran fighters and I respect him a lot. But, in the end he is just a talker,” said Alistair during a recent interview on The MMA Hour. “I fought him twice, I beat him as a light heavyweight, I broke his arm and I knocked him out as a heavyweight. Both fights I wasn’t fit, as a light heavyweight, I was 106 kilos fighting him who was 145 kilos, that is 235 and he was 280 pounds. I broke his arm on five days notice. I got the call on a Monday and Wednesday I was on a plane and Saturday we fought.”

Overeem is talking about his fight against Hunt back in 2008 under the now-defunct DREAM organization where he won via first-round submission. Then nine years later, Overeem once again picked up a win over Hunt via knockout over one of the hardest hitters in the game under the UFC banner.

“Now, I had a good camp but I had food poisoning the day before and I knocked him out. I don’t know what he wants from me. I think I have shown to the world that I am the better fighter and all the other stuff, words don’t hurt. He just talks becasue he has no evidence to back it up. I thought of him a little bit higher previously and I am a fan of his fight style, still am. But, mental wise, I think he is a little bit out there,” added Alistair.

Overeem is set to take on Fabricio Werdum for the third time at this weekend’s (Sat., July 8, 2017) UFC 213 pay-per-view (PPV) event in Las Vegas, Nevada. In that bout, he is looking to score his second straight win

“I expect a Werdum that’s going to be very ready wherever the fight may be. I do believe that once Werdum starts to get hit hard, he will revert to his roots, his origins in the jiu-jitsu game. I’m not expecting anything, but ready for everything,” he concluded.

Mark Hunt: ‘I’d Like to Fight in Japan, Maybe Against JDS’

Mark Hunt has his sights set on a return to Japan. Last night (June 10), Hunt entered the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. In the main event of UFC Fight Night 110, Hunt went one-on-one with Derrick Lewis. “Super Samoan” finished “The Black Beast” via fourth-round TKO. The official YouTube channel of the UFC […]

Travis Browne Brutalizes Derrick Lewis For “Quitting” Against Mark Hunt

No. 6-ranked UFC heavyweight Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis apparently announced his retirement in the moments following his fourth-round TKO loss to Mark Hunt in the main event of last night’s (Sat., June 10, 2017) UFC Fight Night 110 from the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, sparking an outpour of mixed responses from fighters and […]

Citing a lingering injury and the fact he would get married soon, Lewis said he simply didn’t know if he could put his family through the ups and downs of fighting any longer.

One fighter who has a sordid past with the hulking heavy hitter clearly did not approve of his decision to retire, however, as Lewis’ former opponent Travis Browne called “The Black Beast” out on Instagram to suggest Lewis had harmed his family and offer the opinion that Lewis had quit due to his lack of heart:

The two fighters’ beef stems from their first match in the main event at February’s UFC Fight Night 105, a fight where Lewis brutally finished Browne after rallying back from an early stretch where he was rocked by a series of vicious body kicks from Browne. Before the card, Lewis was in many headlines blasting Browne for his alleged domestic violence accusations by ex-wife Jenna Renee Webb, allegations which Browne was investigated and later cleared of and was never officially charged with.

Lewis said he had no respect for men who put their hands on women, assuming that Browne was guilty of the serious accusations despite the fact he did not get arrested and was cleared after the investigation. He also called Browne’s fiancee Ronda Rousey, asking where the former UFC’s women’s champion’s “fine ass was at” after stopping Browne.

Apparently Browne caught wind of something similar actually happening to Lewis’ mother, something for which he offered his sympathies and somewhat backhanded condolence. But the main tenet of Browne’s seething post was obviously to suggest that Lewis didn’t have the heart he claimed and had quit versus Hunt.

The once-feared Browne then suggested he and Lewis meet in a rematch, something that obviously will be tough to come by if “The Black Beast” indeed stays retired. “Hapa” is currently riding a vicious downswing where’s he’s lost five out of his last seven bouts, and a rematch with Lewis may be the best rivalry he can generate right now. Just don’t count on Lewis being too keen on ending his retirement for a fighter he’s already stopped.

Derek Brunson and Mark Hunt picked up huge wins, while the rest of the main card bouts practically ended in less than a minute, so the action was at an all-time high on Saturday night.

We’ve determined the five biggest takeaways from UFC Fight Night 110, so check them out here:

5. Ion Cutelaba is a potential light heavyweight wrecking machine:

In a division thin on talent, Ion Cutelba’s 22-second knockout over Henrique Da Silva certainly put his name on a short list of light heavyweight prospects.

The Moldovan absolutely blitzed Da Silva and dispatched him with ease. Now sporting a 2-2 record in the UFC and a 13-2 record overall, Cutelaba remains a fighter to watch, and his performance on Saturday was an eye-opening moment for his career.

Paired with Volkan Oezdamer 28-second knockout of Misha Circunov, Cutelaba’s performance on Saturday absolutely puts him in a position for a top ten fight, considering the division has thinned out since the departure of Ryan Bader, Phil Davis, and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.
