Alistair Overeem Destined to Return to Kickboxing for Trilogy Bout in October

Alistair Overeem isn’t done competing.

“I wasn’t built for a nine-to-five job,” says a smiling Overeem, whose athletic build remains as timeless as his look. “And I’m not done yet.”

Now 42, the future UFC Hall of Famer is stepping outside the Octagon and returning to kickboxing for the first time in over a decade. Overeem is set to headline Glory: Collision 4 in the Netherlands this October, facing off against Badr Hari in a trilogy bout.

The first meeting between the two fighting icons took place in 2008, which saw a left hook from Overeem knock out Hari.
