Alistair Overeem called WWE fake in a new MMA Hour interview with Ariel Helwani.
“It’s not even a sport. It’s just lame. It’s bad acting and it’s just lame.”
He said CM Punk was a fraud, “Why did nobody warn CM Punk what he’s getting into? Of course he couldn’t fight in the UFC.”
“That man got mentally destroyed in the Octagon.”

Aspen Ladd recently made some bold claims about Miesha Tate and stated the possible reason why Tate didn’t share the Octagon with her on short notice.

Back in July, Ladd was set to meet Macy Chiasson at the UFC Vegas 32 card. It didn’t take place as Chiasson suffered a stress fracture in her foot. The bout has been rescheduled for October 2. Conor McGregor Accused Of Drug Use After UFC 265
Ladd was hopeful of getting a short notice bout with Tate but it did not materialize. During an interview with MMAJunkie.com, Ladd shared her take on why Tate didn’t end up fighting her last month.
Here is what she had to say:
“She would have looked like a hero taking that fight on short notice, and it would have been badass. I wouldn’t blame somebody for not (taking the fight) just based on she fought the week before, but because she fought that recently and she’s in Vegas, we’ll give this a try.
We could have done it at ’45. We contacted them and she was game, but I suspect she was asking for a dollar amount that the UFC was not gonna do. So, that fight almost happened. Almost. We were just trying anything at that point.”
Tate made her return to the pro MMA competition last month. She went up against Marion Reneau and won the fight via third-round TKO. It marked her first bout since November 2016.
