If he accomplishes nothing else from this point forward, Alistair Overeem will go down as one of the most nomadic fighters in MMA’s young history, turning up for training camps anywhere from Thailand to Amsterdam, from South Florida to Albuquerque. He has traveled all over the globe to train for his combined 90 kickboxing and MMA fights, has been in places with hash bars around every corner, as well as those where horse meat is a delicacy.
Of late he’s turned up in Denver, a mile high above sea level. Instead of a dedicated coach he has coaches, as in plural.
