Heavyweight MMA icon Alistair Overeem appears to be sticking to his retirement from combat sports, trading in his four-ounce gloves for a career in politics.
‘The Demolition Man’ has had some time to think long and hard about his career after being slapped with a 12-month suspension last year. Following his clash with Badr Hari at GLORY Collision 4, Overeem was informed that he had tested positive for a non-performance-enhancing substance resulting in his year-long layoff. Shortly after, the former UFC star announced his retirement only to backtrack, expressing a desire to compete a few more times before calling it quits.
