| Cheick Kongo knows Alistair Overeem’s weaknesses but is keeping them secret Cheick Kongo knows Alistair Overeem’s weaknesses but is keeping them secret Quote:
In preparation for his bout, Kongo was kind enough to sit down with Fight Hub TV and answer some questions, helping us better know and understand what motivates the Savate fighter.
FHTV: Cheick, what are your thoughts on Strikeforce heavyweights coming into the UFC?
Kongo: It is a really good thing for the UFC. I want to fight the best Heavyweight fighters in the world.
FHTV: Do you feel they are on the same level as the UFC division?
Kongo: Alistair Overeem’s victory against Brock Lesnar tells a lot about the level of the Strikeforce fighters.
FHTV: Anyone particular you look at and think that fight is interesting for me?
Kongo: Not really; I am focused on my goal, which is to earn a fight for the belt. A fight for the title.
FHTV: In your opinion and prediction, who do you see winning between Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem?
Kongo: Both guys have skills to win. To be honest, I don’t know both are experienced strikers, top level fighters.
FHTV: Are there any weaknesses you see in Overeem?
Kongo: I keep them for me. As you know, I am ready for great things this year and I’d probably fight Overeem sooner or later …
FHTV: What do you make of the criticism that some say you are a dirty fighter? Are you ever worried that because of past fouls that people may see you this way now?
Kongo: I don’t pay attention to that, I know who I am.
FHTV: Your fight this weekend in Japan, UFC 144 against Mark Hunt, where do you see yourself after this fight, given either outcome?
Kongo: I see myself on the road for a title shot

Kongo needs to get to an opthamologist because he's not seeing things clearly.

The fact that Overeem reacts poorly to getting kneed in the testicles is not a secret....

I have the secret to KO'ing JDS in under 23 seconds. Kongo has the secret to get Overeem. We both have equal chances at using our secrets.

Im going to be completely honest here Kongo... if you even beat Mark Hunt I will be extremely surprised. Ever since you got dropped by Mir Ive been forced to question your skill set.
Even in your last fight against Mitrone you didnt show me anything that makes me believe you are anywhere near being ready for a title shot. More importantly both JDS and Overeem would probably wreck you.
This secret of yours isn't. You are not going to wrestle Overeem down. Infact you won't likely meet Reem in the octagon...
I like you and all but you need to stop hanging out with Chael Sonnen.
