Alistair Overeem
Q: Why are you in K-1 this time rather than the DREAM event?
A: I had an offer, and I couldn ft say no to it.
Q: Looking back at the WGP, how do you feel about K-1?
A: Mixed emotions. It was an honor to fight in such an exciting tournament. It was easier than I thought. I had 2 fights, and no injuries. I won one and lost one. I don ft really agree with the loss, but that fs in the past. I think I could have taken 3rd place.
Q: Now that you fve competed well, do you feel becoming the champion is within your reach?
A: I think to be champion you need talent, and lots of luck on the day.
Q: Lots of fans have said they want to see you fight Semmy. Would you like to?
A: I would like to fight Semmy too. K-1 chose for me to fight this other guy this time though.
Q: Do you think you fll fight Semmy this year?
A: I was hoping to fight him in the WGP finals. I don ft know now, but this year or next year.
Q: What do you think of your opponent?
A: I fve not seen many of his fights. He has some strong punches and he has a strong character. I don ft worry too much about that.
Q: Will you win by KO?
A: I always go for the KO.
Q: Do you have any plans for MMA this year?
A: After this fight I have a fight in StrikeForce. After that no plans, but the end of the year there are the K-1 finals, so I might fight in that as well.
