“I think Fedor had an excellent run from 2002 to 2005. People talk about ten undefeated years and blah blah blah, but after 2005, who did he face? He fought against weak athletes. He refused to face me on two occasions – in 2009 and 2010. The other thing is that he never tested himself in the UFC. This is something that bothers me. He should have done it. There will always be this little detail about your career. He’s not the greatest heavyweight of all time,” Overeem explained.

The Dutchman recovered from the knockout suffered by the champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 203, with a major victory, also by knockout, over Mark Hunt at UFC 209 and hopes that a victory over Werdum at UFC 213 this Saturday (8) will put him close to the belt again.
