DALLAS – Valentijn Overeem got his start in MMA just three years after UFC 1.
He’s not only been around the block, he’s lapped it about 16 times.
At this point in his career, it’s not just about being a prizefighter
any more. That allure wore off years ago. It’s about finding passion in
his profession, and as he today told MMAjunkie.com,
he’s managed to do that with a change of scenery.
Following the success of his younger brother, Strikeforce heavyweight
champ Alistair Overeem, he’s made it to America. In four months, he’s
put a win under his belt, and is looking to make it two in a row when he
meets Chad Griggs at “Strikeforce: Overeem vs.
Werdum.”
