Dana White does not seem to have a filter when it comes to sharing his opinion of UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem.<\/p>\n

White criticized Overeem’s dominant<\/a> performance in his last bout against Frank Mir, simply calling it ‘crappy<\/a>‘. ‘The Reem’ went on to further annoy the UFC President when he called out<\/a> former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar who does not even fight anymore. By the time UFC 169 was in the books, Alistair Overeem had pressed all of Dana White’s buttons.<\/p>\n

Now, in a recent appearance on UFC Tonight, Dana White claims that Overeem is hiding from Junior dos Santos. MMAFighting<\/a> transcribes, “He wants nothing to do with dos Santos… He’s literally hiding from JDS…”.<\/p>\n

UFC Tonight also tweeted this about the situation:<\/p>\n

Reem was offered a 5 round main event in Brazil and said no, also a 3-round co-main in Vegas. Turned it down. He\u2019s hiding from JDS. – Dana<\/p>\n
