Alistair Overeem Cites Injuries Why He Won’t Fight JDS

Dana White was doing some promoter-speak about Alistair Overeem last night in regards to a possible fight with Junior Dos Santos, claiming that Ubereem was ducking JDS. Well, according to Alistair Overeem that just isn’t true. According to the Reem, he is currently nursing a rib injury and wouldn’t be prepared in time, that he wants to focus on getting healthy first before talking fights.

Is this just another case of Dana White not getting his way and going to the media, is Alistair Overeem really ducking JDS or are things somewhere in the middle?
