News Alistair Overeem issues statement on UFC release

[A Very Serious Cat]

He needs to cheat to crush cans?

Probably not but its more fun that way

Legend. Not winning the UFC title doesn't mean you aren't an ATG, look at Dan Henderson

Overeem was the lineal heavyweight champion and Henderson won Pride titles in two different divisions (and the UFC recognizes Pride titles as equivalent to their own), so while they are both indeed legends, they were also champions.

Spoiler

(Lineal title through heavyweight fights only):
Randy Couture -> Enson Inoue -> Igor Vovchanchyn -> Tra Telligman -> Pedro Rizzo -> Sergei Kharitonov -> Alistair Overeem -> Sergei Kharitonov -> Jeff Monson -> Pedro Rizzo -> Fedor Emelianenko (vacated)

(Lineal title including openweight fights):
Randy Couture -> Enson Inoue -> Mark Kerr -> Kazuyuki Fujita -> Mark Coleman -> Antonio Nogueira -> Fedor Emelianenko -> Fabricio Werdum -> Alistair Overeem -> Antonio Silva -> Cain Velasquez (unified with UFC title)

Sad to see the Reem hang em up. But I think he is doing the right thing.
Wouldn't mind to see him return to his Uber form and destroy One or Rizin tho..
