A Nevada judge will rule on a misdemeanor battery charge brought against
Alistair Overeem following an incident in a Las Vegas nightclub over
New Year’s weekend.
A representative for the Nevada District Attorney’s office told
MMAjunkie.com that Overeem’s non-jury trial is set
for March 27 in Las Vegas. Non-jury trials are the state’s standard for
misdemeanor charges.
If convicted, Overeem faces up to six months in prison and a maximum
$1,000 fine. Las Vegas defense attorney David Chesnoff will defend the
fighter in court.
