Overeem, Dos Santos agree to fight on Twitter
Junior Dos Santos recently underwent knee and nose surgery and will not likely return until December, but responded to Alistair Overeem’s taunt, accepting a fight.
It was recently reported that Alistair Overeem turned down the option of fighting at UFC 191 to wait and fight Junior Dos Santos. This morning, Overeem took to twitter to taunt the former champion:
Alistair Overeem @Alistairovereem

This is just two fighters going back and forth on social media, but the fight makes sense and a lot of times in case like this the UFC will do what the fighters want and put them against each other. We will have to see when and if this fight gets made official.
