Junior Dos Santos Says Alistair Overeem Talks A Lot Of S**t

by Brent Brookhouse on Jul 13, 2012 11:00 AM EDT


Junior dos Santos spoke to Fuel TV's Ariel Helwani following this past UFC on Fuel TV event and talked about why he isn't fighting on the upcoming Toronto card among other things. One thing that jumped out at me is how clear JDS' English is getting. If you're a person who thinks you can't be a star without speaking English, Junior has that pretty well covered.
Here's the video:


Junior also had some pretty stern words for Alistair Overeem when the topic of Overeem's trash talk came up.

Junior addressed some of Overeem's recent comments that he is happy Alistair is out of action because he is "scared" of the former Strikeforce champion:

"I'm afraid? Ooooh man, this guy. Man, Chael Sonnen is cool that he has more students. Yeah, he's gonna start to talk a lot of shit, you know? Because, he saw the UFC gave the chance for Chael to fight Anderson again. But, man, I'm not afraid of him. I'm not afraid of anybody here. If he thinks he is better than me, come to fight with me. Soon he'll feel the power of my hands and he's gonna change his mind."

I know I held out too long on getting on the JDS bandwagon, but he's really impressing me with his charming personality and ability to hype up a fight without coming across too cartoony or over the top. There's also the little matter of him proving his skills against a variety of opponents.
I'm very excited to see dos Santos defend his UFC heavyweight crown against Cain Velasquez and Overeem. A stable heavyweight champion is always a good thing for the sport.

I'm becoming a big JDS fan, he backs everything up with some amazing performances in the octogon, and he will KTFO Overeem if and when it ever happens!

Now why the fuck can't Anderson Silva learn to speak the fucking language???

Maybe the question should be, why don't we learn to speak Portuguese!

[Rich Davie]

Because he's coming to America to make the big bucks that can't be made elsewhere in the world.

[BluenoseGreig]

I don't know, just because someone fights in America, I don't feel they should need to learn English. Now if he were to live in the US that would be a different thing altogether.

[Kickass32]

Because he's coming to America to make the big bucks that can't be made elsewhere in the world.

and the fact he fucking lives in the States for a chunck of the year.

Not necessarily. Also Dutch, Brazil, China, England, Canada.... etc, etc.

I would think that when Rich Said "America" he meant NORTH AMERICA, which of course Canada is part of (even if we are the forgotten part)
Anderson Silva isn't going to make anywhere close to the type of coin he gets in N.A anywhere else in the world...just ain't gonna happen.

Also Abu Dai, and regardless Canada's divided in half french and half english. And once again if we want to go down that path, this event was created by the respective Brazilian Gracie family. Founders of the sport, whom speak Portuguese as their first language.

I think not fighter has the obligation to speak English or any language. They talk with their fists and that's all we need and expect from them. If they can speak fluent English, that's even better. But some can't and we'll just have to live with.
