What is Alistair Overeem's kickboxing record?

After parting ways with the UFC, Alistair Overeem is set to return to his roots. Ahead of his return to kickboxing after eleven long years, let's take a look at his record in the sport thus far. Overeem has ten wins and four losses in his professional kickboxing career and also happens to be the first fighter to hold world titles in MMA and K-1 kickboxing at the same time.

Overeem has joined the heavyweight division of kickboxing promotion GLORY. He is set to make his promotional debut against Rico Verhoeven at GLORY Collision 3 on October 23, 2021. The fight will take place in Arnhem, Netherlands.

Alistair Overeem began competing in MMA and kickboxing simultaneously in 1999 and continued to do so until 2010. At one point in time, he was considered by many to be the best kickboxer in the world. In 2011, Overeem made his much-anticipated octagon debut at UFC 141 against former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. 'The Reem' shocked the world by violently stopping Lesnar in the first round of the fight.
