Comments on: Alistair Overeem: ‘I Will Become The Greatest Legend’ In Combat Sports http://www.mmaconvert.com/2009/11/19/alistair-overeem-i-will-become-the-greatest-legend-in-combat-sports/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:05:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Sam http://www.mmaconvert.com/2009/11/19/alistair-overeem-i-will-become-the-greatest-legend-in-combat-sports/#comment-6767 Sam Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:04:01 +0000 http://www.mmaconvert.com/?p=17404#comment-6767 Wrong, wrong, wrong. Allistair does not need to fight in the UFC to be a legend. If he wins the K1 WGP and beats Fedor (in America) in the same, year, he is a legend. PERIOD. I dont know what all of you are saying. Any real championship fight anywhere in America they will test. NOT just the UFC. If Overeem wins the K1 WGP he can legitimately claim he is the best HW kickboxer in the world. No one is tested so its an even playing field. Plus K1 (and most combat sports for that matter) are too technical for steroids to ever be a deciding factor. Just look at history.. The guys who test positive (in Boxing AND MMA) have usually lost. Steroids do not help your technique or your accuracy. If Overeem wins the K1 WGP and then beats Fedor, he is both the #1 HW kickboxer in the world and the #1 MMA HW in the world. No one has EVER come even CLOSE to doing this. He would be an automatic legend, and probably the only fighter in history to even accomplish this. I'm not saying its gonna happen, but give the guy his credit. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

They don't care over there. He won't fight in the UFC because of the manditory testing. He'd better hold off on the "Legend" status for a long time...If he wants to be a legend, he MUST fight in the UFC...period! He’s obviously a steroid abuser and thats why he fights in Japan.

Well said - one day he will get busted with steroids. Then he will say he unknowingly took the roids when his trainer gave him a 'supplement drink' I thought it was well done.
