Top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem just called out Stipe Miocic, who won the division strap with a stunning first-round knockout over Fabricio Werdum in the UFC 198 pay-per-view (PPV) main event (video).
But "Demolition Man" used a meme of Bloodsport fighter Chong Li, which I find unintentionally hilarious.

Yeah, about that.
The musclebound Li was submitted in the main event of the Kumite and was also caught cheating during the bout (eye salt). In addition, he was exposed for having a weak gut. Heck, Li would have lost to Ray Jackson (the film's version of Roy Nelson?) had the beer-guzzling buffoon used PRIDE-style soccer kicks instead of celebrating early.
Talk about an upset.
Overeem is now the winner of four straight -- with three finishes -- and could be fighting for the heavyweight title by the end of the year, depending on how ex-champ Cain Velasquez performs at the upcoming UFC 200 extravaganza in July (details).
And I suppose if we're sticking with the Bloodsport theme ... I'm the American shithead who makes tricks with clicks.
