A living legend of MMA, Overeem was responsible for spreading the sport in the early 2000s. Former champion of K-1, Strikeforce, DREAM and Pride icon, Overeem stood out in the sport due to his physical strength and precision in attacks.
Although he was not experiencing the worst moment in his career, the recent defeat to Alexander Volkov, at the beginning of February, was decisive for the veteran’s dismissal. Close to 41 years old, the 'giant' ended up moving away from a title fight after losing to the Russian and his follow-up within the company ended up being damaged.
In recent interviews, Alistair has never hidden that his MMA cycle is nearing its end. After the loss to Volkov, however, the fighter didn't make it clear whether he would continue to repeat.
For the UFC, Overeem performed in 20 shows. With the organization's gloves, the athlete had 12 positive results. Among the Dutchman's victims are names like Brock Lesnar, junior gypsy, Mark Hunt e Fabricio Werdum.
Today, Alistair boasts 67 commitments as a professional in mixed martial arts. The veteran won 47 victories and suffered 19 defeats. There is also a 'no result' struggle.
