Rico Verhoeven doesn't see a showdown with Alistair Overeem inside the kickboxing ring as a can't-miss, high-profile tilt.
When The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani proposed the idea to the GLORY kickboxing heavyweight champ on Monday's edition of the show, Verhoeven snuffed out any enthusiasm in a flash.
"Yeah, it [a fight with Overeem] would be something, but I don't really think it would be a [full stadium] fight, you know?" Verhoeven said. "He's an MMA fighter. He's not a kickboxer."
According to Verhoeven, Overeem– who last competed in kickboxing in 2010, winning the K-1 World Grand Prix – intelligently ended his career on a high note.
