Alistair Overeem admits that once he was told who he’d be fighting next, he had to google who it was. The former title contender is slated to take on fellow heavyweight star Sergey Pavlovich in the co-headliner of UFC Beijing. Overeem is 2-2 in his last four fights and currently on a two-fight losing streak.

He suffered a TKO loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 218, which took place at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Overeem was viciously knocked out by the rising contender in the first round of their heavyweight bout. He laid unconscious on the canvas for what felt to be a while after eating a left uppercut from Ngannou.

In his latest fight, he suffered a TKO loss to Curtis Blaydes at UFC 225. The longtime UFC star talked about his upcoming fight in a recent interview with the UFC’s official website.

“It’s his debut fight in the UFC and he’s an unknown, unfamiliar name to me, so I kind of had to Google and see what that was all about,” Overeem said to UFC.com. “He’s undefeated, so his motivation is going to be there. He’s a young stud. But against those type of guys I always say, ‘Yes.’ The fans can look forward to a very action-packed fight.”

Alistair Overeem Understands His Place

UFC Beijing (also known as UFC Fight Night 141) is set to take place on November 24, 2018 at Cadillac Arena in Beijing, China. The main card will air on UFC’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass, at 6:30 a.m. ET. The preliminary card will also air on Fight Pass at 3:15 a.m. ET.

Overeem continued by stating that he thinks his resume is special as he’s been fighting forever. Thus, when entering this fight he has a certain mindset. That is to get annihilated or do the same to his opponent.

“I’m one of the veterans now and I think my resume is kind of special,” Overeem said. “I’ve been fighting forever, it seems. 88 fights all together with the K-1 and PRIDE and the different organizations. It’s make it or break it for me. Either I annihilate or I get annihilated. Mostly I’m the one doing the annihilating. But we’re back to annihilate some more.”

Francis Ngannou Opens Up On Staying Positive Despite Recent Struggles

Francis Ngannou feels confident heading into his next fight in light of his recent struggles.

The post Francis Ngannou Opens Up On Staying Positive Despite Recent Struggles appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Francis Ngannou opens up on his recent struggles inside of the Octagon under the UFC banner as of late. He was someone who was heavily promoted by the Las Vegas-based promotion up to his title shot.

They claimed he punched the hardest out of anyone in the promotion and was an unstoppable machine. At one point, some even bought into this belief. However, that has all changed.

Curtis Blaydes and Ngannou are slated to fight at the upcoming UFC Beijing event. While speaking with the South China Morning Post, Ngannou did make an admission about his career.

“I was under high pressure, I put myself in some place that I couldn’t manage,” Ngannou said. “When I realised things were wrong I just took a step back. I tried to remind myself why I am here. What made me take the decision [to be a fighter]. And then I realised that it was my dream. It wasn’t a random choice. What made me be here? It’s my talent. At some point I forgot that thing.”

Francis Ngannou Bringing Back The Machine

Ngannou’s confidence was in doubt leading into his fight against Derrick Lewis, which he did confirm in this interview. At least he’s owning up to what is easily seen.

“Last time I was still dealing with my loss to Stipe,” Ngannou revealed. “I carried that loss with me. But you can make sure that won’t happen again. You will now see the Ngannou that you saw before.”

UFC Beijing (also known as UFC Fight Night 141) is set to take place on November 24, 2018 at Cadillac Arena in Beijing, China. The former title contender did make one promise. He thinks that he has dealt with the past and looking to go forward.

“It might sound selfish but you need to remind yourself that you are good. You need to remind yourself that you are not at the bottom. It hurt me a lot to get out of that. On Saturday night, I am sure I have dealt with the past and I am going to move forward.”
