Hi everyone, I'm excited to let you know that my recovery has been going really well and I've recently restarted my MMA training routines. So far I had no troubles with my leg and I'm positive that all problems with it are behind me. It's good to be back to my full training regiment and I have no doubts that I'll be 100% ready to fight very soon.
I was asked by the members of media if I'm willing to fight Overeem since we challenged me twice already. I watched DREAM 5 and I was happy to see a strong heavyweight match-up on the card, I have no doubts that DREAM will put more match-ups like that in the future. It was a very good performance by Alistair I must say. I'm happy to accept his challenge and I'm looking forward to this fight as I believe that we can deliver an entertaining fight. Now it's up to DREAM to make this fight happen, I'm ready to face my challenger on the next show already.
I see many people speaking about me as a washed-up fighter but this is just another boost to my motivation. I'm working hard to get back on track and meeting and defeating strong competitors in the ring is all that I think of nowdays.

...in a place where they don't really care about drug testing

I didn't realize the OP's post was a quote. I thought he was actually going to try and fight Overeem.

So is Crocop as a has-been yet or what?

He's not a has-been, but the intimidation factor which probably accounted for alot of his wins and popularity has definitely waned.

Play nice people...the crotian boy has given us so many joys...lets give him a chance!

That's a really good way to put it. Crcocop hasn't really changed, it's everyone else around him that's changed (more or less).

He does go to the ground though

And how does that distinguish him from any other fighter?

No I ment that he's changed his game just a litle that's all I ment.

I wish I still cared about Cro-Cop. RIP. :/

seconded.

He's been groundfighting since '04. Unless you meant going to the ground as in getting knocked out. In that case, Crocop didn't go to the ground 'til last year heh heh.

THAT'S what I was looking to say.

Who did Crocop fight before this? Some nobody who didn't even seem to be taking the fight seriously. A farce.

So you're saying Cro Cop does, indeed, go down?

I expect MrBadGuy will be requesting his phone number soon enough.
