Alistair Overeem says he isn't fazed by fighting teammate Andrei Arlovski on Sunday and states that they were never friends to begin with.
UFC Fight Night 87 will see teammates Alistair Overeem and Andrei Arlovski duke it out to determine one of the next possible contenders for the heavyweight title.
It's a bout that is being marketed as a fight between two training partners, but according to 'The Reem', the two heavyweights rarely interact behind closed gym doors.
Arlovski was reportedly upset with the Overeem's enthusiasm towards the bout and felt that the former Strikeforce heavyweight champion was pushing the UFC for the matchup.
