Alistair Overeem recently did an Interview with Sherdog.com and made an accusation that Mirko Crocop has been dodging him. "Mirko has been offered to fight me 2 times, and he has dodged me both times," Overeem said. "That's why I will get on the house microphone and issue him a challenge in the middle of the ring after I have finished the big Korean"
An Official response from Mirko Crocop
"Hi everyone, I've just stopped by to comment some statements made by Alistar Overem and his team.
It seems to me that some people should mind their own business. I've never been offered to fight Alistair Overeem. Why would I decline this offer? I came to DREAM to fight the best and I'm looking forward to see DREAM signing more top level heavyweights. Now when Alistair is officially in DREAM, I'll be expecting an official offer from DREAM to fight him and I'm going to accept it with pleasure.
I'm not on vacation here, I train hard and I've never picked my opponents. I fought the best fighters in the world already, I don't see why I should have seconds thoughts about fighting Alistair Overeem? On my way back up I need to fight top level competition and I believe that DREAM is perfectly able to put up a strong heavyweight match-up soon. So it's up to DREAM, let's bring it up."
That was an official quote from Mirko Crocop on www.MMA-ID.com
