Junior dos Santos relents to Alistair Overeem: 'Make it happen'
Guilherme Cruz, MMA FightingJunior dos Santos never much fancied a dance with Alistair Overeem, but it appears he's done fighting against it. An incredulous dos Santos responded to accusations of being "afraid" Monday morning by tagging several UFC officials in a tweet that demanded the promotion make the Overeem fight happen.
Dos Santos (17-3) is sidelined at the moment after undergoing dual knee and nose surgeries following his Dec. 2014 win over Stipe Miocic at UFC on FOX 13. He is targeting a return to action in November or December, and Overeem has already vowed to greet the Brazilian in his return.
