Alistair Overeem’s manager Glenn Robinson of Authentic Sports Management was recently interviewed about what lies in his clients future. Check out the highlights below:

Robinson on what is next in Overeem’s UFC future:

“Right now, he’s not even licensed, so the UFC’s hands are tied. The UFC can’t book him a fight until he gets licensed. So right now it’s all talk.”

Robinson on who Overeem wants to fight next:

“Based upon when he gets licensed and it also depends on if the winner of dos Santos and Cain fight comes out unscathed. What if the winner comes out and has an injury and doesn’t want to fight for eight months? So there’s a lot of ‘what ifs,’ so right now we’re just focusing on getting licensed, and once we get licensed then we’ll figure out who we’re going to fight.”

Robinson on when Overeem wants to fight next:

“He would like to fight as soon as possible after he gets licensed. We’re appreciative that Dana (White) and Lorenzo (Fertitta) want him to fight for the title, and we’re thankful for that, but right now the focused is to get licensed.”
