Alistair Overeem
Alistair “The Demolition Man” Overeem is the London-born Dutchman who was the first fighter to hold world titles in MMA and K-1 kickboxing at the same time. He grew up at Golden Glory, fought Chuck Liddell and Shogun Rua in Pride, then bulked into a heavyweight who won the Strikeforce title, the DREAM heavyweight belt and the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix.
His UFC debut knockout of Brock Lesnar earned a title shot that disappeared with a failed testosterone test in 2012. He fought on until 2021, challenged Stipe Miocic for the belt in 2016 and holds the UFC record for significant strike accuracy. CagePotato covered the horse-meat jokes, the physique and the comebacks.
