JDS: I will try knock Overeem out

I think it’s the ultimate test for my striking, said dos Santos, who has publicly contemplated an Olympic boxing bid for 2016. It’s still the biggest challenge. He was a K-1 champion, which is the greatest striking event in the world. He’s a very strong guy, good, but I trust in myself a lot and I try for the knockout in all of my fights. Regardless of him being a striker or not, I’m going for the knockout.
Of course, like any good champion, dos Santos has a backup plan to surprise the Dutchman.
Jiu-jitsu can be Plan B. I’m an MMA fighter, training in everything, dos Santos said. I’m well prepared to fight, whether standing or on the ground, and if I find it necessary to take it to the ground, it will happen.
Make every story count.
