Alistair Overeem, Bar Brawl The Real Reason For Not Defending His Strikeforce Title
Written by Vytas

Alistair Overeem was supposed to defend his Strikeforce heavyweight belt on June 6 against Brett Rogers, but a brawl at a night club left the dutch kickboxer almost hand less and unable to fight. Strikeforce stepped up and replaced Overeem with former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski.

Overeems manager Bas Boon:

“Alistair attended some famous dance club with his brother Valentine. Went to the toilet and did not have coins to pay the toilet woman. Alistair told her he would pay a euro when he came back, because he did not have change. Then the security guard who was near by started to get involved …. Brother Valentine saw the incident and also started asking what the problem was. They offered to pay, but by then 6 security guards came over surrounding them. The Overeem brothers were asked to leave, Alistair was already outside when he saw his brother Valentine fighting….Valentine still was discussing the situation on his way outside with one of the security guards hit Valentine in the face with a flash light. Three security guards dived onto Valentine and brother Alistair wanted to go back inside to help his brother. This resulted in five security guards in the hospital.”

Boon went on the reveal that one of the security guards involved in the incident was fired afterwards, while a second tried to lay the blame on the Overeem brothers.

In the meantime, Alistair Overeem was complaining of a painful cut on his hand and went to hospital at the urging of Golden Glory team mates.

“It was only because of the management pushing him to go to the hospital that he saved his hand. When he finally got his injury checked, he was advised to stay a few days in the hospital. They told him if he would have come any later he would have lost his hand,” [FightersOnly]

Well I guess you should be out game planning rather than partying and getting that liquid courage pumping up.
