Johnson open to catchweight bout with Overeem
Anthony Johnson: “Why not? To me it’s just a fight. If the fans want to see it, I’m down to do it. I ain’t said no to any fight ever…I’d meet him at a catchweight.”
Anthony Johnson has been vocal about fighting heavyweight Alistair Overeem, and although Johnson is a light heavyweight, would be open to fighting Overeem at a catch weight:
“I’ll fight him, I don’t care. I’ve already trained with him before,” Johnson said. “Why not? To me it’s just a fight. If the fans want to see it, I’m down to do it. I ain’t said no to any fight ever.
“I’d meet him at a catchweight,” Johnson went on to propose. “If he wanted to meet me at 225, let’s do it. Or whatever, 220, I’d do that. Or I’d meet at 230 at the dot, if he was down to go that far. Let’s do it. Even if I fought him, it’s a dangerous fight. He’s still got weapons that are crazy. He was hitting Ben with some crazy knees. He’s a dangerous fighter still, but I’d definitely test him.”
