DreamFighters.com: How is training going right now? Have you put on weight or lost weight for this upcomming match against Remy?

Alistair Overeem: I am exactley the same as the last time , I feel good at my weight now, training is going fine do lots of sparring and stand up training at Golden Glory Breda

DreamFighters.com: What type of game plan do you have against someone like Remy who is known for having a very good defensive game?

Alistair Overeem: We are working on that, Cor Hemmers always comes up with exccelent game plans.

DreamFighters.com: After Remy, who is next on Alistair’s list?

Alistair Overeem: I wanted to fight Remy at this years Dynamite show (I chellenged him after the badr victory), but k-1 wants the fight now. We excepted the fight under certain conditions. I am an MMA fighter and will stay focussed on this. I want the heavyweight title of Dream and I think there will be a title match this year or a heavyweight Gp next year.

DreamFighters.com: Any more idea where you will be fighting next? UFC or Affliction or Strikeforce?

Alistair Overeem: It is possible my contract with Dream allows me to fight in America, if the offer and oponent is right, I will be there. Bas Boon is working on some of those deals and I am happy the ways are going for me in the last years. I have improved a lot of my skills and fought regulary! It was a good decision to stay in the heavyweight devision and not cut 10 or 12kg of weight before each fight.

DreamFighters.com: If you had a choice, where would you fight?

Alistair Overeem: I like fighting in Japan, but my two fights with Strikeforce were awsome as well, i just like to fight does not really matter were.
