Alistair Overeem is a 6' 5" 253 lb Dutch Kickboxer/MMA Fighter with the physique of a superhero. He also knows how to put his muscles to good use. He is the defending Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion and he defeated his opponent Brett Rogers, a 6' 4" 265 brawler with relative ease. Overeem literally took Rogers and threw him like a rag doll and then proceeded to ground and pound him until the referee stopped the fight.
Fans want to see more of this Dutch phenom. It would be a huge disappointment if Alistair does not sign with the UFC in the near future because he has the potential to walk through the UFC heavyweights until he reaches Cain Velasquez. Many are speculating that if a fight does happen with Overeem and Velasquez it will go down as the greatest heavyweight MMA fight of all time. Both fighters are at the top of their game but both have very distinctive styles. Velasquez, an All-American Collegiate Wrestler and Overeem, a Muay Thai fighter with a very strong ground game as well.
Keep your eyes on Alistair Overeem because he is a one man wrecking machine that has the potential of beating anyone in the world. The problem is finding him the best people to fight.
