Alistair Overeem would be 'aroused' by an immediate UFC heayweight title shot
The situation surrounding Alistair Overeem may not have been intended to be a clever marketing campaign but it sure has ended up that way.
"The Reem" is a hot heavyweight commodity right now, with plenty of interesting match-ups awaiting him in both Strikeforce and UFC. The problem, of course, is that a deal between the Dutchman and Zuffa, owner and operators of both promotions, is up in the air.
We've heard from UFC President Dana White, who made it clear to the Golden Glory camp that he's no fan of the way they do business by cutting their entire roster from his two organizations.
And we've also heard from Bas Boon, manager of the "GG" camp, who claims he's more than ready to make a deal to get Overeem back in action stateside with one of the two big promotions. This was news well received by White, who seems to be right back on board.
Now, we get to hear from the man of the hour himself. "Demolition Man" makes it clear that he's willing to sign an exclusive deal with the UFC but he would need to be compensated accordingly. That's because giving up his K-1 title and what not will be a "big deal."
And what he really wants is an immediate UFC heavyweight title shot because that's what would get him "aroused." Hear it all, and much more, straight from the horse's mouth after the jump.

Would rather see him in a number one contenders bout of sorts first, especially since Cain/JDS isn’t until November.
Overeem vs Mir would be an all right opening test, to introduce him to the casual fans who only follow UFC. If Overeem wins, book him against Cain/JDS for March or so of 2012.
Or maybe if Schaub rolls through Big Nog, book Overeem/Schaub.
I would love to see overeem smash mir
And it would happen 10 out of 10 times

saying he'd smash mir 10x out of 10 is silly
We need to see him in the UFC first to make a call like that.
And I love Overeem. Way more then Mir.

Sadly...I would say that Overeems MMA stand up is on par with Frank Mirs...
Mir is one of the slowest HWs in the UFC…Nog is THE slowest.
I believe, after Overeems last performance, that Overeem is one of the slowest HWs out there.
Overeem is UNNATURALLY stacked with muscle on a slim/long limbed skeletal physique.
Lets be real here people…when Overeem fought Chuck…Overeem was not 17 years old…he was a fully grown adult!
Mir is a naturally 255 lber…
Overeem is a naturally 235 lber…at most.
I dislike Mir… and would imagine that his favorite beer is Arrogant Bastard, but Mir/Overeem would be a good match…
I doubt Overeem would be top 5 in the UFC, but that would not deny him from a title shot…only so many HWs
I'd have to agree....pure silliness
I won’t disrespect Mir by saying that
Fedor "The Can Crusher" Emeilianko IS NOT THE BEST HW EVER , in fact he sucks! he has the most padded record in the history of any combat sport, scratch that in the history of any sport. He has not changed as a fighter , he is still just as good as he was then, only difference is he isn’t fighting freaks and nobodies, I , along with many others have been duped into believing he is great, when clearly he is NOT!
if mir gets the openings to hit overeem the way werdum did
it becomes a very interesting fight
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
"Você ta fudido. Se vai levar muita porrada, ta ligado?" - Anderson Silva
exactly.
he’s the more explosive athlete with i think a better gas tank than Mir and that’s about it. his striking technique and wrestling is stronger.
Rashad Evans most obvious cheater at LHW in UFC history! ban that fucking n**ga and get testing all year long.
Shaub or Mir would be very easy fights for Overeem
First round KOs, but yeah definitely would help to market him for a title shot.
I would like to see Mir KO’d again but I wouldnt mind if Uber one got an immediate title shot.

I would like to see Mir get KOed by anyone...but Mir would not be that easy for Reem
Werdum landed almost twice as much as Reem did…Mir hits harder than Werdum.
Reem is not in the the same class with JDS…not even close.
Cain would wax Reem in the first.
Carwin and Reem would be the best matchup.
Yes it would. Overeem is 100x the athlete. He wins easily
No he’s not, did you see his endurance last fight? I would love to see Mir vs Reem and think it would be a great battle.

Finished in 6th in the free pool. I would have finished tied for 6th with Stinky if he could have figured out the scoring after 19 months of playing. Stinky Fingers is an exceptionally slow learner. Don't bother talking to him on Mania, he can't comprehend a single word of the English language.

That he even beats Mir, never mind smash him.
Look how much he wanted to go to the ground with Werdum.
Frank has his blackbelt and some pretty awesome jits.
Let’s see Overeem “smash” him before we start giving him a walk to the title shot.

Smart and intellegent are 2 different things...
I see Mir beating Reem half the time.
Dont forget he absolutely manhandled Big Country
Granted 2 completely different styles but I think it would be a good fight. Mir’s stand up has gotten pretty decent and his ground game is still solid enough to pose a serious problem for Overeem.
Granted I’m on of the 3 Mir fans in existence. We call ourselves The Three Amirgos.

Outside the octagon he can be a jackass for sure but he is a talented MMA fighter and in my opinion a much tougher test than Werdum.

Looks right to me
Overeem beat Werdum (who resembled a fish out of water in their fight).
Also a comparison to a turned over turtle would have been acceptable.

He was NOT afraid of Bigfoot, clearly there were other circumstances…

Well if he does get a title shot
atleast it would make some sort of sense, since there is no immediate contender after JDS.
Better hurry up and sign those papes reem.
Big Country
I think Big Roy would be a better bet if talking about conditioning. Would love to see him and Over-rated-reem go at it.
