(He learned from the best.)
According to a new Las Vegas Review Journal report, Alistair Overeem has been charged with one count of misdemeanor battery after he allegedly “pushed or shoved a woman in the face, causing her to stagger back.” The charge stemmed from an incident at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel at about 3 a.m. on January 2nd, two nights after Overeem demolished Brock Lesnar in his Octagon debut at UFC 141. If convicted, the heavyweight contender faces up to six months in the Clark County Detention Center and up to a $1,000 fine.
Overeem is scheduled to appear in court at 8 a.m. on February 21st. Said his lawyer, attorney-to-the-stars David Chesnoff: “Alistair was not arrested, but was summoned to court. There are two sides to this story and we intend on vigorously defending this. Alistair maintains his innocence.” The UFC has declined to comment.
Let’s hope this is just a shakedown attempt by a woman who simply got in the Reem’s way, or perhaps some innocent roughhousing that went a little too far. Overeem comes off as a genuinely nice guy, but of course, this wouldn’t be the first time that he’s gotten violent with civilians in public. We’ll update you when we know more.

commentsI'm not saying it's ok to shove a woman in the face, I'm just saying that if the result of whatever he did was "causing her to stagger back".. you shouldn't be looking at jail time for that. Maybe a reasonable fine just for being a dick, or even a lil community service, but not being locked up.

The Break Media IT people should know what to do...
i don't know the facts in this story and it could very well be that she deserved it. on the other hand if a huge guy like overeem was strutting around in a club or church for that matter and pushed my wife or mother in the face i would definatley want him charged with assualt. i don't care if a little guy did it or even another woman. i would want that person dealt with.
"You know I remember a time was you actually had to hit somebody."
Oddly phrased, but true nonetheless.

That's what you fuckers get for talking so much shit in the public domain! GRIN

society is nothing but a little bitch right now.
it shouldnt be considered assualt until someone gets punched in there piehole..
.
just another way of govt control.. make it illegal for anyone to do anything..
.
next thing you know the whole country will be like massachusates.

This is a technique used to ensure that a bitch swallows your spunk as shoving the head back induces a swallow reflex.

Considering this happened at 3am, Id say that ungrateful bitch was refusing to take her protein.
That's illegal? Especially on new years day at 3am when she was most likely drunk and upset that he wouldn't inseminate her so started being a huge bitch?
