Mike Easton was a guest on the MMA Fight Corner on Friday night. He revealed that he’s ready to contend for the bantamweight title. Though his Alliance MMA teammate Dominick Cruz is currently the UFC bantamweight champion, Easton said he’d have no problem fighting him. While Cruz is still rehabbing from an ACL injury and Renan Barao is the the interim champ, Easton said Barao shouldn’t be holding the belt hostage by not defending it. “If you guys could see us spar…man it’s a war every single time. And it’s his style versus my style every time we spar and it’s a good time, and so we enjoy it, we just enjoy training. Of course you know, he’s the champ. If I keep doing my job right, which I am, we’re going to have to face each other. We already know that. And that right there will be history in the making for two teammates to fight for the title. That’s something that’s never, ever been done before and that’s something that me and him are both looking forward to.”

“If I waited for Cain vs. JDS, it would probably be next summer already. It’s been a year since I fought, so you’ve got to consider ring rust. You need to have the experience to use fighting as much as possible. Being out for 18 months would not have been positive. I want dos Santos to win so I can beat him, but I think Cain is going to take care of him for me, unfortunately. Junior is going to get taken down. He’s going to get ground-and-pounded. (Junior’s) been doing the zig-zag. He wants to fight me then he doesn’t, so then he fights Cain. I think he’s going to have his hands full with Cain. He’s going to lose.” – UFC heavyweight fighter Alistair Overeem talking to The Las Vegas Sun.
