Alistair Overeem Turns Concentrate on UFC, With K-1 Still Owing Him Money

When Alistair Overeem thought we would depart behind the two organizations through which he'd won heavyweight game game titles -- Strikeforce and K-1 -- and sign a distinctive agreement while using UFC, one consideration is always that he understood the UFC would really pay him, a thing that is not the problem for individuals his fights.

Overeem mentioned round the MMA Hour he still is not taken proper care of winning the K-1 World Grand Prix Final this season.

"They didn't pay me," Overeem mentioned. "It's a lot of money, Let me tell you that."

Overeem mentioned he must consider suit against FEG, parents company of K-1, but he's skeptical that he'll ever collect what he's owed.

"We're near establishing suit, but Japan can be a hard atmosphere to move. There is a language barrier, there is a culture barrier. Am i expecting something out of this? It's tough to convey. I truly think it'll be very difficult. FEG has many outstanding liabilities, plenty of delinquent bills, so possibly mine is just apt to be put underneath the stack in the other bills. There's a lot of debt."

Overeem mentioned he feels worse for Peter Aerts, whom Overeem knocked to win the K-1 World Grand Prix, and who didn't get paid out anything.

"You obtain your ass began and you aren't getting paid out? Measuring only unfortunate,Inch Overeem mentioned.

But Overeem mentioned he's pleased with his recent business decision to sign while using UFC, where he'll face Brock Lesnar in December. Overeem mentioned he was involved with tough discussions with Strikeforce, is also possessed by UFC parent company Zuffa, before finally being released by Strikeforce only to be re-signed with the UFC. According to him that was an authentic settlement so it was not just posturing with the UFC to move him from Strikeforce for the UFC.

"I don't think everything will be a trick together with a ploy to acquire me into the UFC," Overeem mentioned.

Now Overeem's focus is on Lesnar, whom Overeem sights just like a dangerous opponent.

"I really do certainly think he brings it. I really do certainly think he fights to win, to get rid of his rivals," Overeem mentioned. "I expect him later on full pressure. I expect him being one hundred percent come 12 ,. 30."

If Overeem beats Lesnar, he'd likely face the winning in the approaching heavyweight title fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.

"You will discover a couple of males that are interesting fights personally and people males are really inside the UFC," Overeem mentioned. "This is the large show nowadays. There has been other fights available, there has been other available options, but everybody remains delivering me messages, bothering me, saying go to the UFC, Alistair, when are you going to the UFC? ... It's my job to desire to fight the most effective males, the most effective males will be in the UFC, so clearly If only to battle inside the UFC."

People who think his head and jaw have grown that much naturally obviously havn't got a clue - the guy is growth'd up to the nines...

There is a lot of ggod points here, and a lot of ignorant people. Best points made: 30lbs gained in 13 months, and thanks to dave for bringing up themassive puffy face of overeem. Anyone that has or uses performance enhancers knows the telltail signs. Overeem is 100% juicing....I use ped's and cold probly make a very educated guess as to the compounds he's using and approximate dosage.

Man the guy has got zits all over his body.....that's a clear indication he is using. everyone who knows him says his personality is all wacked up also. He was a complete jackass in K1.

You don't gain that much without having a very strong desire to compete at the highest level. That desire fosters a respect for other athletes he clearly does not have. He took the easy route. And it will cost him his health very soon it looks like if he dosen't straighten out.

I had a lot of respect for him when he first started MMA. after seeing him in K1 it's all gone now.

If you look at the growth from the picture the first 3 years he doesn't change very much. Then you can notice a huge increase of muscle mass. It's true that if he was seriously trying to put on muscle the correct way he would steadily grow. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that was the case from that time-line. I won't say he was on steroids but its highly unlikely that he would bulk up that quickly without any "help".

thats when he was 205 now hes a heavy weight your a moron because its been 5-6years since then ok your fucking idiot

Yeah he's on your MOM.

HE IS CLEARLY ON SOMETHING. YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE.

To all you 'roid haters: I would be happy if ALL the mma fighters were juicing. At least then it would be equal. In fact, I wouldn't mind if they showed up in the ring, with an assistant holding an IV bag dripping the magic elixir! Also, they could even fight with the IV bag being held by their nurse! Then, the only time a ref would stop the action would be to untangle the lines. I promise you, THEN we would see some historic fights, well worth the PPV price!

Accusing CP of ripping off BE is a low blow. "Oh look at us, we're BE and so civilized and no flame wars please. Let me have a turn sucking Dana White's cock please."

Fuck that; the internet is for swearing at people.

Most of the actual writers are cool, but a couple of them and 95% of the commenters make me want to puke.

This article is a BLATANT rip off of a Bloody Elbow piece. Cage Potato: write your own damn shit.

i concur, kneeing someones balls into their body is definitive proof of steroid use.

wait wha-

Anderson Silva.

if you hate the site and it's editors so much go hang out at sherdog and pick up some spyeware while your at it. Im sure the world is a saner place with you not having computer access

Whats funny about all the people saying he only fights in japan is the fact that he has the Strikeforce HW title. A title he won in California, he fought for strike force twice, in 2006 and in 2007.

the only way you can knee someone's balls into their body is by juicin.' the ufc should piss test him now while he is in japan just to make it official that he is a juicer, then use that as negotiating power when he tries to get a huge pay off when he comes to the ufc.

Barry Bonds is innocent, too. It's total coincidence that their progressive photos are almost identical.

I'm around roids al the time in my gym. You an spot a guy on them like spotting a bad toupee. If you suspect they are, then they probably are. If it's not unnatural looking, you don't notice. But as soon as you can say "whoa... look at him" and it doesn't seem natural, call shenanigans. This guy is a textbook example. The traps, proportions, bloating of the face... it's there. So you can give him the benefit all you want, but that fucker is on roids. And so what? He hasn't "cheated" because it's not illegal in Japan. Bring him to the UFC and legitimately test him and you'll see him drop some noticeable weight.

Wandy Silva is what a person looks like when they work out HARD. Lean, sculpted, muscular, and believable. Overreem took a shortcut. Congratulations... you've permanently damaged your organs and you'll be washed out in a year or less.

looks like squirrel master has been chuggin some haterade, yo. time to flake out, dodo.

@ Dr. Gonzo


Please refrain from EVER using the word “Haterade” in CP
NO…..never mind, don’t ever fucking use Haterade!!!!
FUCK!! next thing you know MTV and BET hippies are going to be in this awesome homoerotic website!!!!

Technically, if the guy is using steroids, he's not doing anything wrong. In Japan that stuff is okay so they allow him to juice all he wants. Hell, he could come right out and admit it, and it wouldn't make a difference. If he came to the UFC, that would be a different story, but for the time being Overeem has found his place in Japan and he can stick whatever he wants into his body.

What, is the news so slow you have to fabricate some bullsh...article about this? Your site is superb, so I'll take the junk articles w/ the good ones. But honestly, a professional athlete who trains and lifts at least 3 days and has a goal can certainly put on a good deal of muscle weight. I hate it when weaklings who half-ass commit (or don't even really commit at all) to working out, are so quick to judge people who dedicate themselves to a cause.

But I loved the new Rambo movie D:

If you think a fat head and squishy muscles are natural then you are a fucking retard. Watch the newest Rambo movie if you want to see how weird fuckers on steroids look.

This guys face is fucking huge.

For all you BOTD people (Benifit of the doubt)

Lets just give Bob Sapp the benifit of the doubt too. I mean, maybe he just works really hard in the gym.

What's with all the steroid excusers? Why do they care if he does juice, and I mean why make excuses? They let 'em do it over there, and so what? I like when they come to the UFC and find out about fighting OFF the juice and LOSE! [CroCop] And it's not the muscles that give it away, its the head and face. Normal people's heads don't get bigger or change shape beyond the age about 10. That's why lots of kids look like oranges on toothpicks until their body catches up.

Steroids... there G-R-R-R-R-E-A-T !!

(And having a mouthful of uncircumcized cocks)

badger milk...nuff sed.

Ahh beat me to it, Hermit. Yeah who can forget Mr. Anderson Silva.

Very well said, Sweep the Leg. I couldn't put it any better.

I just mentioned how big he looked in the results thread from Dynamite on this very website. Sure i admit it's possible to get the muscles he has without the use of steroids, i just highly doubt he did it that way. His head swelling is the biggest piece of evidence. He just doesn't look right. If the stats Ryan posted are correct then it really doesn't look good for all the overeem appologist because 30lbs of muscle in 13 months with all of the training he needs to go through for fights is pretty unbelievable.

Obviously my opinion is only my opinion but i think he is on some serious enhancements that aren't legal here in the States.

Tuff Guy makes me LoL more than anyone on this site.

TUF Guy drinks his protein shakes straight from the source. I've seen him do it. He never spills a drop.

He'll be attending UFC 93. I personally am excited about the prospect of seeing him in the UFC, and of course there will be drug tests galore. I'm sure people will still claim he's magically on the roids even then, but that won't stop him from knocking out your most favoritest fighter.

TUF Guy I hope you never leave CP

I get juiced on the regular and I noticed that the only people that hate on it are hiding behind their computer screens. To this DAY I am yet to be approached by anyone in my gym about roids and how 'unfair' it is that I break every fool that steps in front of me. And I don't even hide it, I shoot up right in the gym in front of everyone. Sometimes I do it right in the Mall in the GNC store if I am feenin it, my connect doesn't like it but he can't do shit about it.

it's shameful to imply that the Demolition Man is juiced, just because he looks like he ate Arnold Schwarzenegger... i happen to know his protein shakes are 100% pureed rhinoceros pituitary gland, which is perfectly legal and ethical in certain cultures...

Amad: you think rampage is the only guy who has moved from Pride to do well in the UFC? You should check out this guy named Anderson Silva.

+1 to Amad, Dave, Ryan, and Farthammer. -1000 to whoever says "you don't have any PROOF, you shouldn't make unfounded accusations." Well, if there was "PROOF" then it wouldn't be much of a debate, would it??

This isn't an American criminal court where you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. It's the court of public opinion, and as fans of the sport, we have every right to openly question and give our speculative opinions about the subject. The fact that the Japanese conveniently bury their heads in the sand to the pink-elephant-in-the-room of PED use among athletes, and the fact that Overeem never fights outside of Japan, only adds more suspicion. Like Ryan said, 30 pounds (of nothing but muscle) in 13 months on a guy who probably has consistently maintained 3-8% body fat, all while fighting in an organization/country that doesn't test for PED's, is pretty blatant.

If you're not even the slightest bit suspicious about Overeem, then I guess you probably would have drafted Tony Mandarich in the first round, too.

5 years of training and diet you can put on some serious lbs without juice. that being said he does have meathead traps now which are tough to excuse.

I lol'd

Chuck i mean. Not sure who that Huck guy is. Fynn maybe. But I am sure it's not him. Nope, couldn't be.

huck knocked his fng small head off so he went out and bought a bigger one. End of discussion.

I think the recent history of athletes lying to the public, being busted outright, of having really good circumstancial cases against them, kills any chance of "having the benefit of the doubt" I think he should come the UFC, because as the rest of PRIDE fighters have shown, once they are subjected to drug testing, they go from invincible to very beatable. Truthfully, other than Rampage, who has been consistantly sucessful in the US from fighting primarily in japan???

Look at him! Duh.

you can take all the roids you can but when i shank you in the spleen you will die in yr own piss. you think am gona stand by the side lines and watch people like brock and overem poison my sport with yr steriod using buttock injecting bullshit.or are we gona anti up and do something about it yr god dam right we are. this is about decent hardworking mmartists getting the shaft because the ufc carnt be bothered screening for convicted users chuck worked there gracies worked there and now brock works here and dana is making a fucking killing cos he employes juiced up wrestlers.i see this shit going on and i dont see anyone doing anything about it and it fucking pisses me off .people like tuf guy dont come to embrace this sport they come to exploit it.so make a choice this isnt are sport its a fucking battlefield

He's on roids.......cos i said so!!

It's understandable to think that this guy is on the juice i mean you can do the same thing with barry bonds with this guy comparing pictures at the beginning of his career with later i know this theory might be far fetched and a bit of a reach to make a comparison because i'm using to different sports/ athletes but in sports when ever someone transforms like that and there's a huge difference in muscle definition obviously their is going to be speculation of steroids here's my question since Alistair is over in Japan we may never know and this probably hurts whatever chance he has in fighting in the UFC now

^^^^
what the fuck are you talking about? You're asking us to compare the changing head size of an adolescent to a fully grown adult man? I pray for your kid's sake it isn't as retarded as you are.

Explain the size of my kid's head then?

^^^^
Attributed to the fact that they only use the term to describe black men. The only time I've ever heard the term "good genetics" used for a white guy was Brock Lesnar referring to himself.

Overeem uses a secret face bulking technique at his secret gym in his garage. Using only his car's battery and some jumper cables he's managed to increase the diameter of his visage by 23%!

Also anyone that mentions "good genetics" in any given sports article clearly has a homosexual attraction to black men.

Dave you carefully made some good points but you also have absolutely no proof whatsoever. Just your own assumptions based on the size of HHH's head. Who gives a fuck. I mean really.
END Of Discussion.

Every single Overeem defender in these posts is conveniently overlooking the most damning evidence of all, and it's not his physique. It's his face. One of the trademark side-effects of steroid use is cranial swelling, which typically takes the form of a pronounced brow ridge, or "neanderthalism." Look at pictures of HHH if you don't know what I'm talking about.

There is no amount of lifting and/or dietary improvements that cause the same type of malformation to the face and head that Overeem clearly exhibits.

End of discussion.

The people who are conspiracy mongers who can wait to throw the steroid card at someone with a muscular build should really get a life. Aren't there other things to occupy your time than accusing people of doing shit with no proof. The person who wrote the article should at least have the stones to accuse him of using steroids instead of just insinuating it. Otherwise leave the topic alone. Which should have been done.

FYI:

He weighed in at 224 against Buentello back in November, 2007. He was 242 against Mirko in November 2008. He weighed in at 254 against Hari 3 days ago.

30 lbs in 13 months? And I'm sorry, that's 90% muscle weight, the dude is absolutely shredded. Not to mention, he's NOT a full time bodybuilder, the dude has to constantly train technique and do intensive, crazy cardio. He also fought in June, July, September, and November. Doesn't leave a whole lot of time for bulking.

I don't get what the controversy is about. It's not illegal to roid in Japan; why WOULDN'T a fighter juice?

But whatever, I must be just another out of shape, fat pud wannabe fighter who's jealous of Overeem's work ethic and genetics. Yup.

Speculating that a person takes steroids because of a gradual increase in size over 6 years is like accusing Britney Spears of overdosing on men's genetelia to improve her music career. Both individuals have simply found their niche. Alistair is destined to dance as a heavyweight, and Britney is destined to dance as a stripper.

I love it. As soon as you point out someone has done steroids, you are immediately labeled a "fatass" or "nonathlete" as though that has anything to do with the subject at hand.

Yeah... only he doesnt walk around at 255 unless he is about to do his part in the fight FOR birthcontrol

I'm mostly impressed by Dana White going for almost 5 minutes without saying the word "fuck" in any way, shape or form.

Good for him. That's why he is unstopable now. I just took some roids this morning & I feel awesome, because I am.

WOW, that is impressive....steroids or not, one can put on the muscle weight in five years. There could be steroid use involved but I doubt it. He should be invited to the UFC. He could then kick the shit out of Prick Lesnar.

peace out

50 pounds in 5 years = 10 pounds muscle gain per year...which is very doable if you train and eat right like say...a professional athlete.

Plus he has great genetics.

I give him the benefit of the doubt

Overeem is the man and has been impressing the hell out of me the last few years. I've always been a huge fan of his since the beginning even when he didn't always do well but lately he's been just kicking the hell out of guys. I really hope some day he goes to the UFC and kicks the shit out of losers like Cheick Kongo. I hope he starts coming out with that giant wooden hammer again. That thing was awesome.

Steroids!!!

The guy is juiced outa his mind! You don't really go from 205 to 255 in only a few years, taking flintstone vitamins.

Apparently he's on the Brock Lesnar diet. His new nickname should be Alistair HGH Overeem. Pathetic....

it's very easy for someone who is tone like that to put on weight in a couple years. He has stated that he has never been able to do proper strength and conditioning bc of his cut to 205. That's why he has gassed in all his fights. Now that he has determined he will stay at HW, he can let his body naturally progress. Don't forget he was only 22 when he fought Chuck.

But I'm sure there will be more than one fat ass on this sight who hasn't touched a weight in years that is drinking the Haterade and will scream "steroids!!"...

and he didn't go from 205 to 255, he went from 225 to 255. He always had to cut dramatically
