What a guy! "I don't get pleasure from that." when responding to how he feels about retiring Brock. Gained a fan!

I love just hearing Alistair speak. He is a very intelligent and respectful fighter, which is much more than many fighters can say. He represents the sport well.

He didn't retire brock as he accept it by himself too He is so down to earth personality I was wrong about him from the beginning till this interview 😬😅 Brock retirees by himself . Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to

4:15...I really like that he was noble about Brock retiring. "That does not give me pleasure". Alistair is a true champion

This is the first interview i've seen with Alistair and i have to say, he's a very likable guy. He just got a new fan.

i knew he would win and i'm glad he did. seems like a genuinely nice guy and he's a monster in the cage.

@Rcee01 probably the striker vs striker, boxer vs kick boxer, or something to that effect. i'm really interested to see how this will play out as well.

It hard to dislike this awesome man

gr8 interview overeem is a pretty chill guy

One of the most mentally strong fighters off all time , even tho his chin was never great he never fought with fear , and he could be knocked out cold in one fight and the next fight his mind set would be strong as ever once again… only decades of fighting and train your mind to be this professional … what a great fight and event that was! UFC 200

Who said alistair had a glass chin he had great defence and his chin was great he got hit by badr hari who is the hardest hitting kickboxer and yet withstood his punches and didn’t get knocked alsiatir overeem from 2008-2011 when he was Ubereem was enver knocked down

You can screen a movie on his back - "The Voice" Michael Schiavello.

Alistair is a great sportsman. He demolishes his opponents but never has a negative thing to say about them. Always calm and collected. He'll make for a champ.

hahaha when i was 19 i had my 7th fight!!! Alistair is a beast!!!!!!!

good interview ariel

@Agnelum1 yea man, anyone who fights deserves maximum respect.

Very intelligent and composed. Love him.

@nagger975 Yea it's so hard to tell. I grew up watching boxing and you can't really tell how it will go until it starts. Some lower ranked guys sometimes have the right style to beat someone ranked much higher than them. MMA is even harder to tell because the are so many facets to the game. Like for example Junior might have some BJJ skills that aren't being considered. I don't know for sure but you would expect him to have a few extra tricks coming from that camp. The same goes for Overeem.

LOL "And guys i'm reading them all... keep sending"

@PhukAdvertisements you are right, if theres anyone in ufc who can do that to overeem it is junior, he has amazing hand speed, power and timing.

@rahilkiani Its hard to understand who will win but it seems as though Dos Santos might have a speed advantage? Idk what a matchup though

Alistair is a classy guy. Him and Dos Santos are two of my favourite fighters so I can't side with either. I just look forward to seeing a great fight between two honourable men.

This is a very nice, talented, fighter. I'll be cheering for him for the rest of his career.

@Kyros for sure

@t1h1c It does, Dana White said he would fight exclusively for the UFC, i would've liked him in K1 as well but I'm not even sure if the company will survive at this point

JDS vs Overeem and Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen in the summer of 2012 in Maracanã Stadium, (one of the world's largest football stadiums) would be a great place for the fights that everybody in the World would like to watch.

@rahilkiani gonna be a great fight between 2 great guys

The Reem VS JDS! Can't wait!

Icant wait for jds vs allistar. I know th ufc has a habbit of saying that everyfight in the heavywieght division is the best of all time, but I think reem vs jds is going to be the one

@Number1HB and will make,JDS doesn't have same level of skill like alistair,and experience people,it's very important ...

@dragszes when was he caught ? i dont ever remeber that

I knew this guy since his pride days always knew he was gonna be a great fighter and hopefully the Nxt UFC Champ But I'm Going For JDS

good sportsmanship. i like this guy

@TGKArc Lesnar had a little jab goin but once the first knee Alistair threw, he was done, you could tell.

@3:13 I have a strange feeling Overeem is gonna convinced Brock to come back. Can they train together and both exchanging skills is gonna be sick

Seems pretty alright dude but I am huge Junior fan and really do think he will come out with the win.

@clipsryan i could agree with ur % but i cant agree about his foot work or head movement, listen reem is a good fighter and has the potential to become the ufc HW champion but i want to see him in deep water, i want to see him against good ufc fighter..i like brock and i want to see him in their again but honestly, brock doesnt count because he didnt even try to win

@smokinacs911 but those are the kind of fans the turn on fighters after the loose 1 fight and then go to the next fighter that is doing good

@TGKArc Yeah for sure man, It's a shame, Lesnar will be missed for sure, at least by myself. It's too bad, he should have changed Training Camps before retiring to see if that would have improved him at all. But oh well, Alistair vs JDS will be a better fight anyway. It's going to be so exciting.

Classy dude.

You know what, Overeem is a good dude. Stays humble but is confident. I like it.

Alistair says all the right things and really means it instead of saying it just to get a good reputation.

cant wait till he clash with JDS...that would be one of the greatest fights ever

He reads them all?? That is amazing, Im liking this guy more. Many celebrities dont give a D**m about their fans emails. Good for you!

that is a great shirt Overeem is wearing

some qustions are really unnesecary. ofc he is excited to fight JDS to find out who is the best striker.

good man..

Hey might as well have said "Ariel Helwani alongside my best friend Alistair Overeem". haha

@NikLust1 you got it, fanboys are superficial. my initial post, which is the one in the top comments, wasnt directed to you. you replied to me and i explained to you what the problem with fanboys is. it doesnt matter for how long you followed mma and when u decide to become someones fan as long as you stay loyal. even tho i dont understand why this fight would make such a big impact on someone who folled mma for a long time. nothing special happened. a veteran fighter beat up a bully.

@brutusbruno agree

If Brock was 100% Alistair never beat him👊

i hadnt followed him prior to this fight...but finally, an articulate heavy weight fighter who seems cool also. I wont miss brocks grouchy side. Good work alistair!

Overeem seems really cool

Overeem is awesome and a nice guy too

Class act

@WaaaaaZaaaa33 you're not the only one man

@ILikeReallyBigButts if he cant take a hit, how do u explain him taking a 1000 shots from carwin

freaking big muscles WOW

@clipsryan I AGREE BUT JDS IS TOO QUICK AND REEM DONT HAVE FOOT WORK OR HEAD MOVEMENT SO YEA ILL GIVE 60% TO JDS ANS 40% REEM

@FLSweatt Yeah, yeah. Calm down.

Lot of cool guys in the HW division.

@excelx213 right lol people were calling this dude a "ufc reject" and strikeforce this and that but the dude is the champ of every organization they mention lol him in the ufc is a long time coming i thought everybody knew who he was for a while

@d34d10ck I've been a fan for years! He's a great guy, very humble.. Confident but not arrogant.

@krb0123 i don't know sorry mate tell me what to put next time before i comment :)

@t1h1c It does it's an exclusive contract. Badr Hari is coming to USA to start a Boxing career so they wouldn't have been able to fight again anyways.

@whatdupdoh there hollands color. thats where overeem is from.

@KidTw1st JDS never sleep on anyone, but JDS has great hands and speed. chin doesn't have a good chin too

@katodmx007 Probably the first fight he has watched too. Sad thing is 25 people just liked his comment.

@tuludapac he posts them first on mmafighting

this guy is so sick i love alistair

Hey Ariel! Why don't you interview Nate Diaz??? "Where I'm from people like you get slapped!" Hahaha!!!

Where is his iPad?

@raised2killu My bad, first fighter in the ufc then.

New to the game? Shows how much you know about mma.

@d34d10ck you should watch him at the mma hour with ariel, he's such a cool guy lol

Feather in your cap.. ariel he didnt take the bait ..classy guy !

@19Bill94 wikipedia master, hahaha

props to him, fight still looks fixed

allistair is a dangerous beast of a man

I don't think he will think the Dos Santos fight will be excellent for him when he starts trading punches with him.

nice guy!!!

yeeeah, went exactly like i thought it would. not sure is overeem can dethrone junior though...

Overeem just fuckin awesome!

are those bowling balls or biceps ?

I can't wait for the JDS fight, that's got to be a fight of the year contender. Someone's getting knocked out in that fight.

@PhukAdvertisements I'm not under 21, but I'm curious as to how this statement holds any legitimacy. Please explain.

Him and JDS would be a great fight, but i would have to go with JDS

Love ariel to the max!

Uhh Ariel.. WHERES OVEREEM's IPAD!?!??!!??

REEM!

Ariel is taller than i expected.

@RembranTcg thats what im talkin bout!

JDS vs. Overeem is very intresting! Think its gonna be settled by a "lucky" punch tbh.

You were destined since 2011 to do this, to take the title. Go Alistair and knock Stipe out to get whats yours.

@Kingjd87 like who??

How can you not like the Reem

@PhukAdvertisements haha ahh ok. Cheers mate.

Overeem keeping it classy

I think that JDS has allot more handspeed and speed is power! That is his only chance... his speed.

Much respect to overeem, he could have answered those questions in a much more irogant fashion.

Respect for Overeem for retired my favorite my Fighter and about to fight my other favorite.....JDS FOR THE WIN! (IMO I hope no trolls will get butthurt)
