Alistair Overeem: ‘I’m pretty good at ruining people’s parties’

[Wild]

Alistair Overeem spoke exclusively to Bloody Elbow about his path to UFC 203. The number-one-heavyweight contender shared his thoughts on Stipe Miocic and Fabricio Werdum and explained where he now stands with Andrei Arlovski.

There are few fighters in the UFC who can match Alistair Overeem when it comes to experience. The enigmatic heavyweight has far more cage/ring time than most, but he has also been battle-tested by aspects of the fight-game that are sometimes overlooked. Good or bad, if it can happen around a pro-fighter, Overeem is likely to have a well-earned understanding of the situation.

On May 8th Overeem headlined a UFC card in his homeland, the Netherlands. This was a first. Surrounded by a raucous and patriotic audience, he dispatched of Andrei Arlovski to become…

He's also pretty good at getting his ass smacked when he gets arrogant

 

[Mix6APlix]

Just like Travis Browne ruined him. WAR ANYONE ELSE!

I'll never forgive Alistair for the time he burst into my 5 year old nephew's birthday party and smashed the piñata with a series of flying knees

 

[Kingtony87]

He's even better at ruining his own parties.

I think it was six years ago but he came to one of my parties asking everyone for about tree fiddy and then dancing all dutch like. put a damper on the whole affair.

An injury or USADA will ruin this party. I'm convinced this fight will not happen one way or the other.

He was a member of the LMFAO video, think it was for Party Rock Anthem. Maybe that is what he is referring to

No it was that I work out song. Overeem is the man. I think I would be a bit cocky also if i won every major title in every fight sport besides the UFC but that will be coming soon and then he will literally own every single prestigious title there is to get. I also heard he is the nicest most genuine guy. Reem got legit beat by Rothwell, other than that he shouldve and would beat Browne and Bigfoot again. He KOd someone who has never been kod before, and he totally changed his game at a point where most fighters dont. I would call that being humble and recognizing a need for change.
