Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem is currently enjoying
the most successful run of his mixed martial arts career, but for the
“The Demolition Man,” that just wasn’t quite enough.
The 30-year-old Dutchman decided to chase K-1 gold in 2010, and the results were astonishing.
After coming up short in the 2009 tournament, Overeem made it to the
final fight of the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010, where he found himself
standing across the ring from three-time grand prix champion Peter
Aerts.
