Alistair Overeem: ‘I’d probably be retired by now’ if I didn’t switch teams so much

Heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem has been part of several high-profile teams throughout his lengthy professional career. Apart from other stables he’d been a part of in Holland, “The Reem” also trained with the renowned Jackson-Wink Academy in New Mexico but decided to once again make a switch and train with the Elevation Fight Team in Colorado.

Now looking back, the 38-year-old Overeem believes he would’ve been done with the sport, had he chosen to not move around camps.

“If I had stayed in one or two places, I’d probably be retired by now,” Overeem said on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting).
