The heavy weight Antonio Pezão achieved his first victory in Ultimate by knocking out Travis Browne at UFC on FX 5, an event held earlier this month. With the courage to triumph, the Brazilian is already thinking about another big challenge inside the Octagon.

In an interview with the North American website MMA Junkie, Pezão revealed that he wants to face the Dutchman alistair overeem, who revealed his desire to have a fight before competing for the organization's heavyweight belt against Júnior or Cain Velazquez, who face each other in December.

“If Overeem really doesn't want to wait for a fight after his suspension ends, I'm here ready to welcome him. I respect him as an athlete. After all, he fought for K-1, DREAM and was Strikeforce champion. But I'm not worried about titles or belts right now. Overeem is big and strong, but I know I can beat him. Even though he was created in a laboratory, I can beat him”, said Pezão.

The irony used by Antonio Pezão has to do with the physical form of alistair overeem. In recent years, the Dutchman, who was a light heavyweight, gained a lot of muscle mass and there was always a suspicion of using anabolic steroids. Until before your fight against junior gypsy, scheduled for May this year, he ended up caught in the anti-doping test and was replaced by Frank mir.
