'Cro Cop' Offers to Fight Overeem and Kharitonov at Dream 6

TOYKO -- With Alistair Overeem calling opponent Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic “old” and “a chicken” and Filipovic declaring that he will tar and feather himself and run around Amsterdam until he is arrested if he gets “degraded” by Overeem, tensions between the two heavyweights reached a boiling point during Dream 6’s pre-fight press conference Sunday at the East 21 Hotel.

Cro Cop spring-boarded off the news that Sergei Kharitonov's intended opponent, Siala “Mighty Mo” Siliga, was scratched from the card due to a back injury to keep the mind games going with the lanky Dutchman he faces Tuesday in a featured bout.

“Well I've just heard that Mighty Mo is not going to fight since he is injured,” said a serious Filipovic. “We are all professional fighters. I'm ready to jump in, in his place. If Dream agrees, I'm ready to fight two fights tomorrow. It doesn't mean that I underestimate Alistair, I would like to fight him first –- the fourth fight against him and the eleventh fight against Sergei. Sergei definitely trained hard for this and I'm sure he doesn't want to go home without a fight.”

Feeling nothing but slighted by the offer, Overeem had a terse reply.

“I think after I fight Mirko, he will never fight again,” said Overeem before throwing down the microphone.

Dream will have no need to take the gung-ho Filipovic up on his offer. American journeyman Jimmy Ambriz has agreed to step in to face the stone-faced Russian Kharitonov on just a few days’ notice.
