Winkeljohn noted that Overeem will have to be a team player.

“That’s just the way our camp is,” said the coach as transcribed by BE. “It’s first and foremost you have to help others and if you start helping other people out, if he could help other people out with his stand up and his knowledge in different positions, then the team is going to help him. If not, he will be ostracized real quick and he’ll be gone.”

Winkeljohn also expressed enthusiasm for the heavyweight joining the camp.

“I haven’t spoke with him yet, but as soon as he comes I’m going to be excited to be working with him,” said Winkeljohn.

“The guy can hit hard, I mean Travis Browne told me how hard he and hit, but the thing is I want him to not be striking and then standing in a place where he can get counter punched and or taken down. He needs to strike and then make slight angle changes, I think will change his game tremendously.”
