Overeem is not Overated

Alistair Overeem has accomplished yet another amazing feat in his which looks like a "legendary" career. Overeem who is currently Strikeforce's current heavyweight champion made an appearance at the K-1 World Grand Prix Final and won another heavyweight championship by defeating Tyrone Sprong,Gokhan Saki,and K-1 Legend and 3 time Grand Prix winner Peter Aerts. Alistair Overeem has a fight record of 10-4 as a kickboxer and a 33-11-1 record in mixed martial arts,Overeem has a collective record of 43-15-1 and when you look at the losses many of which came when Overeem was extremely young and inexperienced in his fight career and were against many future hall of famers his notable losses were to Sergei Kharitonov(Last man to defeat Overeem back in 2007),Mauricio "Shogun" Rua(2), Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (2),Fabricio Werdum (Only man to cleanly beat Fedor Emelianenko during Fedors 28-0-1 fight streak), and "The Iceman" Chuck Liddell this is meant to prove any and everybody wrong who wants to say Overeem is an overrated heavyweight. An overrated heavyweight fighter for example is someone like Brock Lesnar,Lesnar although he has an incredible collegiate wrestling background is nothing more than that a wrestler. Whenever the outcome isn't pre-determined Lesnar won't reign with any sort of championship for too long, he will drop it much like he did to Cain Velasquez and almost did to Shane Carwin when you are almost KO'd and then KO'd after Zuffa and the UFC pumped a whole month of Lesnar(BROCKtober) down our throat to purchase a Pay-Per-View in which the "Golden Child" of the heavyweight division gets banged up like he didn't even belong in a cage where striking was legal how can you not call Lesnar overrated before Overeem? Overeem is the subject to many insults and jokes such as the Haley's comet of MMA and also the man who doesn't eat horse meat but horse steroids and the line is going to be drawn right here.How can somebody who yes only defended the Strikeforce title once in 3 years be overrated when he is one of the busiest fighters on this Earth? How does that sentence even make sense here is how. Overeem went into 2008 coming off a loss to Kharitonov since that loss Overeem has been in 19 fights and out of those 19 he has only dropped 2 both of which were in K-1. Now before we jump the gun and say well he's lost two fights since last losing an mma bout step back and analyze where the best strikers in the world are? answer K-1. Why do K-1 fighters have bad records? must mean they are no good. Also an untrue statement and one that must irritate many a fighter and fan alike. K-1 is where the best strikers on this planet are and unlike the UFC and Strikeforce, K-1 pitts the best strikers against the best strikers all the time sometimes 3 to 5 times a night. Another example of this is say the #2 K-1 Fighter in the world wins against #1 now that #2 is #1 he will face #2 in his first defense unlike the UFC where if you win a title you can basically pick and choose who you want to fight and duck certain people and never fight the best if you don't want too. Overeem has nothing to prove by fighting in Strikeforce at all times its a waste of his time and he's losing money why fight 3 MMA bouts a year for maybe 400,000 when you can win one GP and make the exact same amount in a single night and then turn around and try and face somebody two weeks later for the DREAM HW Championship. Overeem is anything but overrated and many fighters need to take a page from Overeem's book and make themselves an icon as a fighter as he is currently doing not an icon of a product or brand but until others catch on we should enjoy the moment because no matter what is said or how its stated Alistair Overeem is the first fighter to hold the Strikeforce HW Championship and K-1 HW Championship at the same time and he may be adding a third with DREAM's HW Championship this is history in the making and if Overeem can pull off this triple crown so to speak wouldn't that mean the UFC HW Championship the only title he would be missing is what's really overrated?
