Good for todd for stepping up, that's the kind of thing that makes me a fan But this interview is funny as hell to me. at one point a japanese reporter asks a question that probably takes 2 minutes to ask , it eventually gets translated to " would you like to fight in japan again?"
I thought Overeem was dutch. And anyways there wasn't enough time for there to be any animosity to develop between the two. Anyways that is how things should be between two fighters!:thumbsup:
Well we learn something new everyday. I think though that he is actually part dutch cause he claims that his mother is a decendent of William the third of the Netherlands. Just to clear it up his mother is the white parent of the two!:thumbsup:
Well they do speak english in the Netherlands. I haven't heard him talk that often so I wouldn't know. Either way he claims to be a decendent of a dutch king, not sure if it's true!:thumb02:
His mum's dutch, his great Grandfather was King William III of the Netherlands and his Brother was born in Amersfoort, Alistair is Dutch. However, he was born in Hounslow, so I'm claiming him as English. We finally have a Heavyweight worth supporting
So in a way Overeem reflects some of the relationships the two countries have had. Either way I think he mainly identifies with the Netherlands. Probably because of his citizenship!:confused02:

Well they have had their royal families marry each other at times. Also the UK has come to the aid of the Netherlands quite a few times in the past. Lastly he is ethnically dutch on his mother's side!:thumbsup:
Well let us go over this again. His mother is dutch and his father is from Suriname. I think that would make him pretty international don't you think?:confused02:
I think Duffee took the fight for the paycheck, I'm guessing he got a hefty cheuque for his troubles, there was no way Duffee would've won that fight.
Also, Duffee's last 2 fights have ended up in him being KO'd. That cannot be good for his chin after just 8 fights and at 25, I can't see him doing a Randy or Chuck.
Well Chuck really should've retired long before he did. He was knocked out alot in his last few fights. Randy however was smart in his fights!:thumbsup:
Yeah, he is a dutch citizen. He is also half ethnically dutch. But he did spend time in Britain so boht have a claim to him!
