Two weeks later, Overeem’s next fight was already on the books – a December 13 showdown with fellow Dutchman Stefan Struve as part of the final UFC on FOX event of 2014.
“Sometimes you fall down, but you put in the work and you come back,” Overeem said of his recent struggles and fighting future. “I’m 34 years old. If I would be injured, yes, maybe, but I still love what I do – I love working and improving. I’m an athlete, I’m a fighter, I’m a champion – this is what I do.”
