Overeem dejó hace poco Golden Glory, con los que aún mantiene una batalla legal. Ahora, a sus 31 años y con la mira puesta en su próxima pelea por el cinturón pesado de UFC ante el brasileño Junior dos Santos, el holandés se mudará a Florida para unirse a los Blackzilians de Rashad Evans y Mike Van Arsdale.
Overeem compartirá entrenamientos en Boca Raton con Melvin Guillard, Jorge Santiago, Miguel Torres, Anthony Johnson, o Eddie Alvarez entre otros. Entre los entrenadores figuran, además de Van Arsdale, Henri Hooft, Flavius Silva y Marcus Silva.
Además, Alistair ha firmado con Authentic Sports Management.
"With Authentic Sports Management, I saw right away that Glenn Robinson has a system in place that allows the fighter to focus on training only, which is so important as I prepare for my UFC heavyweight title fight against Junior Dos Santos. ASM has a team of experts to help you grow as an athlete, from Glenn working hands-on as management to Jen Wenk handling my PR and Karen Gough running marketing, a full-time nutritionist, a finance and legal department – you name it, (and) they have it. After meeting with ASM, I was convinced that they can make me the new UFC world champion."
