Alistair Overeem had some harsh words for Croatian striking machine Mirko Cro Cop in a recent interview. Overeem suggests that he’s got information that Cro Cop won’t fight at DREAM 6, adding the savage line “This douchebag didn’t want to fight me”. Kudos to our Eastern European MMA source Edo, who gave us the heads up on this interview at Intheguard.com:

ITG: You challenged Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic - is there any special motive for fighting him? Since when did you start calling for this fight?
AO(Overeem): My desire to fight Cro Cop began when I read his interview stating nobody wanted to fight him and that’s why he fought some walking-punch bag-guy [Tatsuya Mizuno] at Dream 3. My management offered me a fight with him at that event and he declined. Then at the K-1 Amsterdam event my opponent got injured and the promoter attempted to arrange for Mirko to fight, again he declined… …This really pissed me off because now my fight was canceled because this douche-bag didn’t want to fight me while he was saying nobody wants to fight him. That’s crap, and that’s why I grabbed the microphone, and I’ll keep doing so until I get this fight. I will get him.

ITG: Is there any interest from DREAM on booking Cro Cop/Overeem? What can you tell us about when you’re supposed to face him?
AO: Well, there is an interest for sure but I cannot confirm any date yet. I just recently heard we will not be fighting at Dream 6 so…

No independent confirmation, nor comment from Cro Cop’s camp…
