“It’s also that when you’re in the flow of winning, you’re in the flow of winning,” he said. “Now there’s definitely been some hardships here. I also have to say in the UFC, there’s no easy fights in the UFC. Everybody’s tough. This was something I said before the fight. Don’t underestimate Ben. This guy’s 280 pounds, he can take a punch and he hits like a truck. It is the UFC, everybody is there to win.”
The 34-year-old Overeem (37-14-1) said he would continue to train at Jackson-Winkeljohn’s in Albuquerque, N.M., ahead of his next fight. Though he opted not to call anybody out, he did say he wanted to compete again before 2014 closes out.
“[I’d like to fight] as soon as possible, because I was not out,” he said. “I was not sleeping. I was just dazed, and Ben capitalized. So I guess if it’s up to me, not too far away.”
