Fabricio Werdum Brings Up Alistair Overeem’s “Morning Juice”

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum says former title challenger Alistair Overeem is out of his “special juice.”

Werdum is scheduled to fight Overeem at UFC 213 on July 8. This will not be the first time the two heavyweights have fought. In fact, Werdum and Overeem have fought twice already.

In 2006, in the Pride promotion, Werdum defeated Overeem by submission. In 2011, Overeem won a decision against Werdum in the Strikeforce promotion.

Werdum recently shared his thoughts about Overeem today in an interview with FloCombat.

“I see Overeem as a lot smarter than before,” Werdum FloCombat. “He used to believe in his strength as he was taking that special juice in the morning. Now he’s out of juice. It’s different. He’s still a very dangerous fighter, but I see that he tires more. Overeem always had this thing where he would wear out a lot, his strikes are always 100 percent, and that makes him tire faster.”
