Alistair Overeem has been on tap to fight Junior dos Santos twice in his career, but the fight fell through both times. Now, Overeem is back to calling Dos Santos out and “Cigano” is amused by it, to say the least.<\/p>\n

“I have to smile because this guy\u2026 He knows I\u2019m hurt and that\u2019s why he\u2019s saying these things. I\u2019m injured and I can\u2019t fight right now and that\u2019s why he\u2019s saying this kind of things,” JDS told MMAFighting<\/a>. “I really think he wants to promote himself. I wanna see him saying these things when I\u2019m 100 percent again. I think he\u2019s going to be quiet again.”<\/p>\n

Despite calling out “The Reem’s” bluff, Junior dos Santos wants it to be known that he is willing to fight Overeem is that’s what matchmakers want. “But of course, I don\u2019t pick opponents. If the UFC wants me to fight him, I will fight him and I will be glad to face him.”<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, Overeem stated that he thought Dos Santos was the gatekeeper of the heavyweight division. Dos Santos chose not to take the trash talk seriously and dealt out a diss of his own. “I think he did well, he did a good job. He\u2019s a good athlete, he\u2019s a good fighter, but, for sure, he\u2019s a better talker than a fighter.”<\/p>\n
