Alistair Overeem Replies to the Big Steroid Question in Preview for Voice vs. Overeem

by Dave Walsh on Nov 21, 2010 6:16 PM EST in K-1 News

I've been a long time supporter of Alistair Overeem, as anyone who has read this site could probably tell you, and there has always been that nagging question for a lot of MMA fans; does Alistair Overeem do steroids? He has skirted around the question with a lot of media due to how frustrated he has gotten with hearing the same questions over and over again, but when Michael Schiavello brought the question up he was glad to discuss it. Note the way Schiavello brings up the topic, not being accusatory and being understanding. A lot of the media could learn a thing or two from him, I'd say.

The Voice Versus Alistair Overeem debuts on December 10th on HDnet.

same here, I’m not really convinced. Because he doesn’t get fat doesn’t explain how he can gain that much mass in such a short period

that's fair

I think a few years is a short amount of time when you look at the drastic changes, not only from his muscles, but from his bone structure… eating horse and lifting shouldn’t change you that much and I’m just assuming he lifts though I’ve never heard of him doing that even

When

Overeem fought at 205 and wasint fighting, he walked around at 220 even more. When he fights now he’s what, between 245 – 255 range? Thats not a huge gain over a 3 year spand.

I have to disagree

it’s not normal to gain 35-50 lbs of mass after your body shouldn’t stopped growing but i really believe combat sports fans underestimate the commonality on steroid use in the sport… what % do u think, just curious?
