Let's dissect this interview Alistar Overeem gave to Fight HubTV:

​

Cliffs:

*Fedor had a great run from 2002-2005 after that nothing but Cans

*Declined to fight Overeem in 2009-2010

*When is it a good time to retire?

*Are the people around him being honest? Money the reason for coming back?

*Fedor never tested himself in the UFC

*(Overeem) He is not the greatest heavyweight because he declined to fight me on 2 different occasions


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My first thoughts on the interview,

Fedor from 2002-2005 was 15-0-1, basically his great PrideFC run.

2006-Present he certainly wasn't fighting the Top 5 HW's in the World, but he did rack up notable wins against Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Brett Rodgers before finally losing a match (not including Kosoka) to Fabrio Werdum in 2010.


Fedor declining a fight with Alistar Overeem in 2009-2010 was a no brainer! This is when reem was UBEREEM on his horsemeat diet absolutely wrecking shop every where he went....


As a fan I was totally understanding on why Fedor declined this fight during that time:

December 5th 2009

Dec 31st 2009

April 3rd 2010

​

Agreed with Overeem that Fedor needs to have a sit down with his team and discuss when its time to hang em up for good, Fedor had come out of retirement ..perhaps should have stayed retired to preserve his legacy in MMA.


Disagree with Overeem that Fedor should have come to the UFC. The UFC has become the premeier MMA organization in the World once they purchased PrideFC but they have showed time and time again they do not care for the best interests of their fighters. Was glad Fedor never signed a deal with the UFC.

To be fair to Alistar -- his entrance to that fight was one of my favorites, he came out like he was going to obliterate Big Foot -- he had that mystique in the walk out ...plus the song got me pumped up!

Then he ended up getting KO'd ....ouch!



Overeem's walkout use to be on Youtube, but it was pulled:

The Song - Walkout was epic!

2 of my all time favorites..I'll tell you this if anybody had the right to speak on fight resumes it's AO... him and Hendo top to bottom have the toughest list of anybody ever.. Reem has earned the right to make observations and can attest to things over their history but let's not pretend reems word is gold because horse meat hasn't dried up and he's had his share of naps ...Regardless idc what nobody says fedor is a all time great and nothing anybody says will sway that..Jbj imho is the g.o.a.t for now but there's a kid wrestling as we speak that will replace him in 10 years...i just hope I get to see it.. we as fans should want evolution and pay hommage to the greats for what they've done in their era and keep looking for the next big thing and appreciate what we have at the time!

reem fought his fair share of can and took boat loads of steroids.he cant really talk shit about anyone.he also was a disappointment coming over to the ufc he was supposed to be a destroyer.it was preusada and he was k1/dream/strikeforce champ.he was pretty good but no destroyer.his chin is shot.at this given moment in time he would defeat fedor.at fedors prime overeem was getting smashed by shogun and chuck.

Fedor after Pride went on to fight on Affliction. Sylvia and Arlovski were top heavyweights at the time. Fedor stole their soul. And he was going to fight Barnett before Josh was caught juicing while he also wanted to face Coutoure. Let's put this talk to rest. Fighters get old. Deal with it.
