Alistair Overeem impressed even his boss UFC President Dana White at UFC 141 with a crushing first round stoppage of Brock Lesnar and in doing so earned himself the next shot at the UFC Heavyweight Title.
When that will happen remains uncertain but White discussed when it was could possibly go down via UFC Tonight on Fuel TV:
“I was impressed by Overeem – I’ve been talking about him a lot and not in a positive way, and now I’m eating crow. Without a doubt, he’s one of the top three heavyweights in the world. Junior dos Santos could fight Alistair Overeem, hopefully in the summer. Dos Santos is ready, but Overeem wants to take a break. This is a fight that will be exciting.”
