- UFC president Dana White would happily welcome Alistair Overeem into the
UFC heavyweight division, if an agreement can be struck over the method
of payment to management team Golden Glory.
Overeem departed Strikeforce under a cloud, and is now fighting away from MMA's two major promotions.
The problem between Zuffa, the parent company of Strikeforce and the
UFC, and Golden Glory, centres on the way payment finds its way to
Overeem's management team. Golden Glory want direct payment that filters
through to the fighter, whereas Zuffa prefer to pay the fighters and
allow them to disperse accordingly to the management team.
White hopes it is a problem that can be overcome, opening up the
possibility for Overeem to fight the likes of Cain Velasquez and Junior
Dos Santos in the heavyweight division.
"I would love to have Alistair Overeem in the heavyweight division," White told The MMA Show.
"If we can come to a deal and we can make this happen and we can pay
Alistair Overeem his check when he fights and he can pay Golden Glory ESPN UK Well, my guess is GG wouldn't allow that... so we probably won't see Overeem in the UFC unfortunately.  Thats too bad to since there are tons of potentialy great match ups! | |
