The title is confronting I know but this discussion needs to be had. Alistair Overeem is too tough for his own good and think its going to cost him dearly.
Overeem is a legendary combat fighter but his current skill set is going to ensure some more brutal knockouts to come. The man is that talented he has fought for twenty years and has been ranked top ten in heavyweight for nearly ten fucken years.
But it has come at a cost, 14 KO losses since his mma debut. This is a crazy statistic. Overeem seems to be where he was when he first debuted in the UFC, capable of demolishing some and being demolished by others, normally in brutal fashion.
Has anyone decided to have the talk with him? Has any media outlets wrote an article about Overeems health and longevity? Are the UFC seriously ok to run out his lucrative contract seeing him get fucked go frequently (of course they are $$$).
I don’t know man I just see this ending badly. Overeem appears to be completely coherent now and that may be why there isn’t much noise about this. I just can’t see Overeem escaping the long term effects of CTE.
Anyway I just hope someone of importance gets in his ear soon, has the talk and convinces him to stop otherwise there are at least 4 more KOs coming in the UFC.
