UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP - Alistair "The Reem" Overeem Documentary Film







Alistair Cees Overeem (born 17 May 1980) is an Dutch mixed martial artist and kickboxer authorized with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is a former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion, DREAM Heavyweight Champion, K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, and is among just 2 boxers to hold world titles in both MMA and K-1 kickboxing at the same time.

As of February 19, 2015, he is # 11 in official UFC heavyweight positions.

Overeem was born in Hounslow, England to a Jamaican father and a Dutch mother. At very first Overeem found the training hostile and excessively fierce, however after training with Bas Rutten, Joop Kasteel and others, he ultimately learned to enjoy it.

After much speculation, on September 6, 2011, it was revealed that Overeem had actually signed a contract with the UFC, which his initial fight would protest former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar on December 30, 2011 at UFC 141.

The lead up to the fight was rife with conflict. In November 2011, both competitors were needed by the NSAC to follow out-of-competition medication screening. Lesnar provided his sample display on November 21, while Overeem delivered his on November 23.
The display, however, did not fulfill the criteria of the compensation. Overeem submitted a 2nd examination through his individual doctor - which was additionally regarded unwanted - before flying out of the nation. Overeem was inevitably provided a conditional license for the fight by the committee during a conference held on December 12, 2011.
Overeem had his very first expert kickboxing fight at the age of 17, in a K-1 guidelines fight on November 15, 1997. Afterwards he fought versus Paul Hordijk, victorying by choice on March 14, 1999. Overeem then moved into K-1, having two K-1 fights in six years versus Errol Parris and Glaube Feitosa.
