ROSEMEAD, Calif. — MMA Fighting spoke to Clay Guida on Thursday about Saturday night’s fight against Benson Henderson, being left out of Wednesday’s press conference, why he was simply happy to be there, his rise up the 155-pound ranks, where he thinks he is better than “Bendo,” and keeping his eye on the prize.

Alistair Overeem‘s former management team has thrown a counterpunch at the current UFC fighter, alleging that he owes them money from their work and slamming his lawsuit as “scurrilous.”
A statement released to MMA Fighting by Roderick J. Lindblom, legal counsel for Knock Out Investments (KOI) and Golden Glory — Overeem’s former management team — claims that Overeem filed his lawsuit as a preemptive action after KOI informed him of numerous violations of their deal, including his failure to pay commissions for past fights and endorsement deals.
“KOI and Golden Glory are respected organizations committed to securing the best fight deals and training for their team of fighters,” the statement read. “Mr. Overeem’s continued suggestions to the contrary are scurrilous and will be vigorously defended in the proper forum.”
On Thursday, MMA Fighting also obtained a copy of Overeem’s lawsuit, which was filed in California Superior Court. The 10-page complaint characterizes his management contract, which was signed in July 2007 and scheduled to run for five years, as “exceedingly one-sided,” and claims that KOI and Golden Glory “failed to provide the required management services and have failed to pay Overeem monies that are now due and owing.”
Among the breaches alleged by Overeem is failure to review, properly negotiate and advise him of his fight contracts, pressuring him to sign contracts that were not always in his best interest, failing to look after his best interests, and failure to remit payments of fight purses and other payments, among others.
He also charges that they engaged in deceptive practices to conceal income from him. By virtue of their actions, he alleges that he is owed over $151,000. He is also asking the court to terminate his management deal and determine any future rights of compensation.
Lindblom’s statement says the management team is in receipt of his lawsuit and currently assessing all available defenses and counterclaims.
“Alistair Overeem is a striker — he wants to throw the first punch. But this misguided decision to file a lawsuit as a preemptive strike leaves Mr. Overeem vulnerable in ways our clients wished to avoid,” the statement closes out.

Last seen at UFC 132 in July, UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer won’t be absent from UFC events much longer.
UFC president Dana White late Wednesday asked his Twitter followers if the UFC should bring back Palmer and within the hour, White had an answer.
“Done! The votes have been counted and Brittney Palmer is back.”
White told Heavy.com in August that Palmer never officially parted ways but pointed to Palmer’s artistic aspirations as a reason for her absence.
“Nothing happened with Brittney Palmer. It’s one of those situations where Brittney has moved onto other things. She’s living in L.A. now. She wants to be an artist and she’s going to art school.”
Arianny Celeste and Chandella Powell are the two other active UFC Octagon girls. During Palmer’s absence, model Vanessa Hanson was brought in once as a guest Octagon girl at UFC 136 as a prize for winning a Transworld Surf open model search.

Chael Sonnen‘s campaign for a rematch against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has worked.
UFC president Dana White talked Wednesday on The Jim Rome Show about the inevitability of Sonnen vs. Silva 2.
“It’s the fight that everyone wants to see,” said White. “People want to see Chael vs. Anderson. Anderson is in this position where he feels like this guy is so disrespectful he doesn’t want to give him a shot and everything else. But Anderson will end up fighting Chael Sonnen.”
Sonnen last month returned to action with a submission win over Brian Stann at UFC 136. After the fight, Sonnen ignored Joe Rogan’s first question to immediately go on the attack against Silva.
“Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck,” Sonnen told Rogan. “Super Bowl weekend, the biggest rematch in the history of the business. I’m calling you out, but we’re upping the stakes. If I beat you, you leave the division. You beat me, I will leave the UFC forever.”
Sonnen has since called off the bet, saying the offer had an expiration date.
“That offer was good when I made it, but it’s like any offer, they got to expire,” Sonnen told Rome 10 days after the fight. “Apparently, that didn’t work. I’m doing anything I can to lure him out and yes, I would have absolutely done that.”
There’s no target date yet for a rematch as Silva is currently out with a shoulder injury.
Silva’s former training partner Mark Munoz threw his name in the hat last Saturday at UFC 138 by asking for a title shot against Silva, but it’s now clear that Munoz will have to wait.
