(Poturak vs. Melvin Manhoef, 2/13/05.)
Alistair Overeem continues his large-gloved pursuits tonight when he takes on Dževad Poturak in the opening round of the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix (watch a surprisingly depressing promo here) in Yokohama, Japan. Poturak is coming off two straight decision losses and he’s currently a 5-1 underdog in the fight. Basically, he’s supposed to be a side of beef for Overeem to beat on. Hopefully our massive Dutch friend can do that without getting himself hurt. There is that whole Strikeforce heavyweight title defense thing looming on the calendar, and if Overeem puts it off yet again, well, there’s no guarantee that Scott Coker won’t just totally snap and go on a killing spree in downtown San Jose. It’s always the quiet ones.
The fights air live on HDNet at 4 am ET Saturday morning, which means that you can stumble home and microwave some fish sticks just in time to watch Michael Schiavello freak out over some K-1 action. Trust us, you’ll still be hearing his voice in your nightmares long after you’ve passed out.

commentsYou joke about the article's content, yet provide no evidence that this Dževad Poturak is not a tomato can.
So lets give your theory a test drive.
Overeem is fighting a game opponent, and the ODDSMAKERS (who usually DO have a clue) just installed Overeem as a 5-1 favorite because they're charitable folks and wanted to give everyone betting on this K-1 match a good shot to win some FAT bank on the very good chance Dževad Poturak has of winning...
Or you're just an idiot who should go back to his kickboxing website. good day.
Oh robthom pull your head out of your ass too.
This is Overeem's punishment to us for all of the years that the United States has subjugated and enslaved the Danish people and tried to crush their religious freedom to worship horse meat eating Dutchmen who wear gloves of Golden Glory.
We have no one to blame....EXCEPT FOR OURSELVES!
I tell you this: Overeem will be rewarded in heaven with the manna of horse meat and 57 ten-year-old girls holding strike-bags and waiting to be kicked into oblivion. The clouds will ring with their pre-pubesent squeals of agony.
GOLDEN GLORY BE!
On top of all that, Overeem has put on about 80 lbs in the last few years, and I'm not talking about jelly dough either. He must be subscribing to the Mark McGwire school of using roids to "heal injuries."
....After Overeem crushed this tomato can, he'll claim he has sustained a hand injury
(Ya see where this is going?)
...and PULL OUT OF THE STRIKEFORCE EVENT!
I'm telling you, every chance Overeem has had over the past 28 months to stick his thumb into Scott Coker's eye, he's done so.
