[Video] Overeem not training at the main JacksonWink gym for his fight with Arlovski

[MMAJim]

I've spoken to both Alistair and Andrei this week and it seems to me like the head coaches at JacksonWink are fully behind Andrei for their fight at UFC Rotterdam.

Listen to the bit of audio above where I ask Alistair about his training (2mins 21secs). He says he's not even training at the main Jacksons gym. What do you think to that?

My boy Reem by KO. The coaches have been with Andrei longer and I believe they even spoke to Reem and he was cool about it.

 

[Nightmaree]

Ben deserves TS over him if he beats JDS. And if Overeem wins he should fight Hunt for n1 contender spot

i want reem to get title
because that would be awesome

He would go down as one of the greatest combat athletes of all time.

In before "racism"

That guy was doing his damnest to stir up some shit that was all that interview was about trying to get him pissed at Arlovski, Wink and Jackson then he wanted him to pick a winner of the up and coming title fight which is seen as siding with one or the other but Overeem did not fall for his Ariel Helwani bullshit. he said Arlovski said he begged for the fight lol

 

[papajohns]

I'd like to see Overeem get a title shot. I wanted to see is happen when he first came to the UFC when he looked like the Hulk.

That's true. It should be Rothwell and then Reem in line. Tbh both deserved title shots before their upcoming fights anyway, especially ahead of Stipe. Matchmaking has screwed up the division, first cain holding it up with an unwarranted rematch and now Stipe getting an undeserved TS.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Can't blame him. I can't imagine how awkward it would be to train in the same building as your opponent, especially at that high of a level. Hopefully he is still getting as good of a camp this way. I want to see both at their best when they fight.

At this point Cain is even 2 fights away from TS. And Ben deserved TS right away, should have been Stipe/Reem and Arlovski/Hunt

 

[ArtemV]

Please Arlovski, land a right hand before he does.

 

[Dutchman101]

Most likely they discussed who is which corner. I don't think jackson made that choice alone.

More like one of the greatest to ever flee from a drug test.
2nd only behind wanderlei

Big fan of both guys. This fight blows, because one of them is bound to get brutally KO'd.

You never know. Kinda of weird that Reem and Mir did go to a decision.

That's true, but AA's and Reem's chins are awful and both have ridiculous power. I feel like if either of them even miss an overhand right, the wind from it can rock the opponent.

 

[Appylion]

It's gon be a good fight
