Junior dos Santos: Alistair Overeem ‘is a better talker than a fighter’

Alistair Overeem was matched up twice against Junior dos Santos in the UFC, but had to pull out both times for different reasons. "The Reem" is once again calling out the former champion, and the Brazilian is interested in the fight.

"Cigano" is still recovering from surgeries after a five-round war with Stipe Miocic in December, and targets an October or November return to the Octagon. As of Overeem’s "gatekeeper" comments, dos Santos just laughed.

"I have to smile because this guy… He knows I’m hurt and that’s why he’s saying these things," dos Santos said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
