Former UFC heavyweight title challenger, Alistair Overeem have been slapped with a one-year retroactive suspension after the Dutch kickboxer tested positive for a banned substance in both A and B test samples following his GLORY Kickboxing fight against Moroccan striker, Badr Hari back in October of last year.

Headlining the GLORY Collision 4 event in his first combat sports outing since his departure from the UFC the year prior, Overeem initially landed a unanimous decision victory over Hari, however, the bout has since been overturned to an official ‘No Contest’ in November after it was revealed he had tested positive for a banned substance.
