Alistair Overeem

This is a full-contact sport. It's the objective to disable your opponent, even if sparring or a real fight. You've got to use your technique. ”

Even if we were friends, I consider this a sport, a competition, so there are no ill feelings towards any other fighter or whatever. ”

This level of competition is extremely high. Everybody is trained. Everybody has a game plan. Everybody has a nutritionist. Everybody has everything. It's here that you realize, as people, we're all equal. ”

I do believe that Brock Lesnar will be coming back. I don't want to call it from retirement, but he is a huge draw, big guy, sells tickets. So that's a fight I would be interested in. ”

As a fighter, you need to constantly improve. So that's what we've been doing: constantly improving striking, grappling, wrestling - there's always different aspects to improve. ”

I have stated many times that one of my goals was to become K-1 champion. K-1 is, in our country Holland, very popular, and it's a big opportunity to become the first person that holds two world titles in two different sports. ”

No, I'm not going to retire. Not going anywhere. I'm focused on the UFC. It's the biggest stage. ”

Brock Lesnar was a big guy: he's at 280 when he fights. When fighting him, you can have a bit of that extra muscle because you don't want to be thrown around like you're nothing. ”

I don't have any concerns fighting a teammate. It's a sport. To me, it doesn't really mean anything. ”

I'm happy where I'm at now, but I want to show the world that I'm the No. 1 fighter. I want to prove it the world. I'm focused and ready. ”
