Top UFC heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem has been charged with one count of misdemeanor battery following an incident in a Las Vegas casino soon after his UFC 141 bout this past month. http://mmajunkie.com/news/27207/report-ufcs-alistair-overeem-charged-with-battery-in-las-vegas.mma According to the "Las Vegas Review-Journal," Overeem is slated to appear in court on Feb. 21, and if convicted, he faces a maximum of six months in county jail and a maximum $1,000 fine. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) had been unable to confirm the long-rumored incident in recent weeks. Local law-enforcement officials told MMAjunkie.com no arrest was made, and Wynn officials declined comment. However, according to the newspaper's report, Overeem, who defeated Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 in Las Vegas on Dec. 30, was at Wynn Las Vegas a few days later. According to a citation issued at 3 a.m. on Jan. 2, Overeem pushed or shoved a woman in the face, "causing her to stagger back." Overeems temper gets him in trouble again... :-((
Didnt take long. Guess he should have realised he's not in Holland anymore where this type of incident is shrugged off as ''One drink too many'' No pun intended He should expect a law suit for emotional distress and loss of earnings due to injuries very soon
Haha they were lucky a pissed up Rutten wasnt there aswell. They would have needed the riot Police [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWepCXL3IuE[/ame]
Ruttens storys on the club scene as a bouncer in Holland are the stuff of legends. Then again so are Overeems to a degree. He nearly lost a hand when he and his brother were involved in a fight with a bunch of guys.
Is he at the stage now wher he probably should have own security with him when out and about in the u.s.a atleast?? Hes pretty recognisale and is non to have bad temper..alot of scumbags in the public would see him as a easy sue claim
