Sherdog currently ranks Overeem as the sixth best Heavyweight fighter in the world.

Born in England to a Jamaican father and a Dutch mother, Overeem and his family moved back to The Netherlands when he was six years old after his parents divorced. It was in Holland that Overeem spent his entire childhood and his first foray into sports came here as he was extremely involved with sports such as judo, basketball and other track and field events. At the age of 15 years, Alistair Overeem was taken to a local gym to learn the art of self defense and although he found it very aggressive initially, he started to enjoy it with time and fell in love with it.

Overeem debuted in Mixed Martial Arts at the age of 19 years and he went through various promotions, posting a record of 10-3 in stints with RINGS, It’s Showtime and M1 before making his debut with PRIDE Fighting Championship. He then went to Strike Force where he went on to become the Heavyweight champion before he signed a professional contract with the UFC.

Alistair Overeem has had two fights in the UFC so far, winning one fight against Brock Lesnar before losing to Antonio Silva a few months back.

According to him, this is almost like a real fight game because here the people get hurt almost everywhere, even the heart too, if they lose the game after so much of toil. What adds to the grief and anger is the loose comments made by certain viewers who think training for MMA is just a boit of workout at the gym where one can skip a lot of perfection.

How much is now Cain is able to get from his bargain is to be watched over.
