He believes that&#8217;ll be enough to warrant a second shot at the champ.\u00a0Apparently, he&#8217;ll be challenging Miocic with a post-fight callout if he defeats Werdum at UFC 213.<\/p>\n<p>Overeem explained this plan in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2017\/7\/1\/15904684\/alistair-overeem-ill-be-challenging-stipe-miocic-with-win-over-fabricio-werdum\">MMAFighting.com<\/a> at the UFC 213 media day.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AHmId98vDM0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Listen, after I beat Fabricio Werdum next week, Saturday, I&#8217;ll be challenging Stipe,&#8221; Overeem said. &#8220;You can expect me to call him out with the mic.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overeem then recounted his early success in his brief fight with Miocic, during which he was able to drop the champ.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;There were some mistakes made,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That being said [it was] heat of the moment stuff. I can tell you that my cards are shuffled differently these days. I can&#8217;t wait to show my new hand.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overeem&#8217;s knockout defeat of Mark Hunt occurred at UFC 209 in early March. His failed title bid opposite Miocic, meanwhile, went down in September of 2013, at UFC 203. The 27-year-old Dutchman is 42-15 overall.<\/p>\n<p>Werdum, meanwhile, has fought just once since he surrendered the heavyweight title to Miocic in May of 2016, succumbing to a first-round knockout. In his first fight back since losing the title, he scored a chaotic decision win over Travis Browne. The 39 year old is 21-6 in sum.<\/p>\n<p>Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum are 1-1 across two previous bouts, with Werdum winning the first by submission, and Overeem winning the second by decision.
