Alistair Overeem officially decides to join Jackson-Winkeljohnquote:
Alistair Overeem confirmed with MMAFighting.com that has officially decided to train for his next fight at the famed Jackson-Winkeljohn camp in New Mexico.
"I was planning to go there all along, even before I signed with Glenn [Robinson of Authentic Sports Management]," he said, "but after signing, I didn't find it necessary. Then when I fought Travis [Browne], I couldn't go there as Travis is fighting from that gym. Ditto with [Frank] Mir.
"So, now in my time off, [I'm] not sitting around but getting reorganized again. Making great progress and feeling very optimistic."

"He is going to try it out and see if he gels with the team," Greg Jackson said.
Browne, who defeated Overeem last August, appeared excited to train with the Dutch-born fighter.
"Happy to have him," he said. "Iron sharpens iron. And that's genuine. The coaches pulled me into the office and asked me if it would be OK with me. I told them I'd love it. I can learn from him."
