Overeem: While Miocic has been 'celebrating' and partying, I've been training hard

Alistair Overeem says Stipe Miocic has been slacking since winning the heavyweight title, while 'The Reem' is as focused as ever heading into UFC 203.

Alistair Overeem has never been more hungry to win UFC gold. 'The Demolition Man' is a former Strikeforce, DREAM, and K-1 world champion and wants to etch his name into the MMA history books at UFC 203.

Overeem will challenge Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title in the main event, and the 36-year-old believes Miocic has been taking things too lightly since capturing the belt at UFC 198 earlier this year.

Speaking at a pre-fight media scrum to promote the event, Overeem says he has been taking note of Miocic's partying ways on social media and believes it will be his downfall on Saturday night.
