Overeem spoke to media personnel and exclaimed that just like how Miocic was able to turn down the volume when he fough Fabricio Werdrum in Brazil in UFC fight night 198 back in the month of May, Overeem now wants to do the same to Miocic by beating him in his own backyard – Cleveland.
Overeem was quoted saying “I am actually very excited about fighting in Cleveland”. He also confessed that he was well aware that 99% of the crowd will be rooting for Stipe, but he sees this as motivation and will enjoy it when the referee raises his hand in victory and silences the crowd while Overeem’s fans all across the globe will rejoice.
