    Alistair Overeem was the guest speaker for the Hunt vs. Miocic pre-fight Q&A session. When asked about a possible rematch with Mirko Cro Cop, who he faced in 2008, Overeem was dismissive, saying Cro Cop holds a grudge because Overeem "beat him [and] broke him mentally." I guess kneeing him in the nuts bad enough the bout was stopped and ruled a no contest is a comprehensive victory in Reem's mind? That means Cheick Kongo also has a win over Cro Cop (oh, wait...)

    Word got back to the Croatian who responded on Facebook, translated by soeathemeek on reddit:

    "I advise all those who are craving media attention to get it trough their results and not by calling others out with unprovoked and and simple-minded statements. And that coming from a person drugged and juiced to the point where he is a disgrace to the whole sport (he said: "he spit on the whole sport") and who only achieved anything while being so drugged up that If it were to take 2 dcl of his blood im sure that would be enough to keep a dying elephant alive for a few more years." /boomroasted

    I fully expect this to be a plausible matchup once JDS murders Overeem.
