Alistair Overeem is one of the most accomplished fighters in the fight game. With knees that would drop even a gorilla, Overeem has participated in numerous kickboxing and MMA events. “The Reem” recently came close to capturing the UFC Heavyweight Championship, but ultimately could not shake the monkey off his back.

Overeem, as experienced and lethal as he is, is known to crumble under pressure. When Overeem walked into Stipe Miocic’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, the fans weren’t going to let him off the hook easily. Overeem had to sit back and smile as the fans sang about his ‘glass chin’.

Overeem couldn’t masquerade his annoyance; while he had a smile on his face, his steely eyes told a different story. Overeem nearly finished Stipe in the first round, but ultimately, it was Miocic who rode on the support and got his hand raised by knocking Overeem out.

Overeem has all the credentials in the world to come to WWE; however, it is difficult for someone who cannot shake off the jeers to be successful in professional wrestling. If UFC 203 was anything to go by, Overeem is better off sticking with the UFC.
