http://www.fansofk1.com/uploads/articles/1973/alistairandremy.jpg
Alistair Overeem was interviewed again, and spoke about the fight against Remy, steroids, Crocop and more.
Again, we would like to take a moment to thank Bas Boon, Alistair Overeem, and Golden Glory for answering our call's so fast, as this will be our 5th interview with Alistair.
DreamFighters.com: First off, great fight against Remy. You went toe to toe with the best K-1 striker in the world. - How did the fight go for you? Did you follow your game plan? Was Remy as hard as you thought?
Alistair Overeem: Well we knew he was going to stand there in his double defence if I would keep the pressure. I think our game plan worked, the pressure was good and I could land some good knees and uppercuts and leg kicks.
DF: If you had to fight him again, what would you do different?
Alistair Overeem: I would throw some more punching combinations, I was too focussed on my game plan, but I actually knocked him down in round two with a right left right combo.
DF: Now looking forward, what is next for Alistair Overeem?
Alistair Overeem: I will going to focuss on MMA again and maybe defend my strikeforce belt soon in the United States.
DF: Will you be fighting more in DREAM, or will you be fighting in the USA next?
Alistair Overeem: Dream and the USA
DF: Have you decided on a promotion to fight with in the USA? (UFC, Affliction) ? Anymore meetings with Dana White and Golden Glory?
Alistair Overeem: My manager is bussy with negotiations, things go very well at this moment.
DF: Mirko Crocop said he wants to fight you now in a K-1 match up. Would you accept that fight, and what are your thoughts on it?
Alistair Overeem: He should fight me under dream rules and finish what we started instead of wanting me to fight in his cellar and now again under different rules.
DF: So you are saying you are open to fighting him again?
Alistair Overeem: Yes, anytime!

DF: (Fan Question) You and Remy seemed to have fun at the K-1 Presser. Do you always try to plan and play head games with the person you are fighting?
Alistair Overeem: Not really, but it has been sucha hot item that I thought it was funny to do something with this. Fuji Tv even broadcast the oscar thing, so I think they like it.
DF: (Fan Question) What was it liking growing up and living in Holland? Did you get into many fights as a kid growing up?
Alistair Overeem: Yes I was a restless child, lots of energy, my brother took me to a gym when I was 16.
DF: (Fan Question) Many people and critics say you have been taking performance enhancing drugs. What do you have to say about that and to those people?
Alistair Overeem: I have been tested everytime everywere I fight, I have gained weight because I always have been a heavyweight. I was about 103 kg when loosing 10kg to fight at 93 kg/205 lbs. After my last fight in the states I gained about 4 kg per year. But its still easy for me to loose 10kg or gain quickly.
DF: (Fan Question) Alistair, we all want to see you fight Fedor. Do you think this will happen in 2009 or 2010?
Alistair Overeem: I would love to fight him on NYe 2009 in Japan or affliction, its fine by me.
DF: Alistair, thank you once again for speaking to us. Is there anyone you would like to thank?
Alistair Overeem: I would like to thank all my fans and my trainingspartners at Golden Glory, my trainers and managers. peace!
