Why has this been suddenly changed to LIVERPOOL ? If you listen to Overeem on the Rutten and Ranallo podcast ( https://soundcloud.com/mauroranallo/28-alistair-overeem at 1h 01min and 29 seconds, Alistair corrects Mauro Ranallo for saying he was born in Liverpool, by saying that he was born in HOUNSLOW. I will change Liverpool back to Hounslow. If anyone has any more definitive information on where Overeem was born, that tops Overeem himself (you don't, because it is BS) then feel free to present your evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malau ( talk • contribs) 10:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Very popular nicknames for the Reem are "The Reem" "ubereem" and "supereem". If you want sources ask brew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubereem ( talk • contribs) 13:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Paralympiakos and other "mods" who think they know so much, stop deleting official nicknames of Overeem: The Dutch Cyclone which he obviously doesn't endorse: http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac15/tsiirtola/aovereem.jpg. Ubereem is fan made eh? Well guess what, all good names start as fan-made and commentators even use it for Overeem fights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0X9BJDRjOg&feature=fvst go to 3:17 to hear commentator referring to Overeem as Ubereem. Stop the reverts from now with these two names. -- 67.204.17.179 ( talk) 18:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Alisteroid Overoid being the funniest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.95.19 ( talk) 15:52, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
I see a comment about his suspicious super-bulking has been added. While I do agree that fan suspicion has grown so fevered that it probably should be mentioned somewhere, I don't think in the headline paragraph is the best place for it. I vote for a short section of a sentence or two, near/at the bottom.
I'll wait a week or so to see if there's any discussion before attempting any changes. Senor Vergara ( talk) 02:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Well, actually Alistair didnt gain 50 lbs in 5 years, like the person above mentioned. If you study his fights, the last time he fought Shogun Rua, he was fighting in the 205 lbs class in early 2007. And then just 9 or 10 months later he was fighting people like Kharitinov at 250 lbs. So the dude has to be juicing. I can understand building muscles over the long term, but jumping up over 50 lbs in less than a year......come on people, put 2 and 2 together!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.255.87.96 ( talk) 13:04, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Theres plenty of news on google about Overeem and steroids. Ive added the information. Portillo ( talk) 10:11, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
On Wikipedia its normal to add reliable sources. Just because he hasnt tested positive for steroids does not mean it isnt newsworthy. Portillo ( talk) 00:38, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
So seeing how the media is made up of maybe 95% bullshit. There wouldnt be much to add to Wikipedia would there. Portillo ( talk) 06:03, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
The claim that he is no longer Strikeforce HW champ was unsourced and is contradicted by numerous recent web articles and the Strikeforce website. I removed it. Senor Vergara ( talk) 02:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
you guys are pretty much all clueless. they all do steroids or hgh in all pro sports. most are good at hiding it. urine testing is not a very accurate way of testing. reverse cathoders with clean urine are just one common way. who really wants to watch average joes fight? interesting to see what happens when the nfl actually starts hgh testing. politicians and people are so clueless what goes on in the real world. they're all stuck in an illusionary fantasy world. 68.188.200.62 ( talk) 06:59, 3 February 2013 (UTC)sk!

where it says in the article "The majority of Alistair Overeem's pre-fight training camp took place at the newly opened Golden Glory Gym in Pattaya, Thailand, where "The Demolition Man" concentrated on the further improvement of his Muay Thai skills.[10]" i think we should change The Demolition Man to The Reem. http://www.sherdog.com/videos/recent/Overeem-Explains-Why-Hes-the-Man-to-Beat-Fedor-2438 overeem states that he doesnt like his nick name demolition man but prefers the reem or ubereem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.188.203.217 ( talk) 20:43, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Not to nitpick here but is
Brett Rogers worthy of inclusion in the list of notable opponents Overeem has defeated? If you ask me, I think Rogers is severely overrated. The guy holds only one notable victory himself, and that's over
Andrei Arlovski.

That claim Overeem's weight being only 234 pounds is just not true. Sherdog says so and same false claim is then added in many other websites. Anyways it has nothing to do with reality and never in any events Weigh-ins Overeem has been 234 pounds. In his latest Weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Sakai he was 252.5 pounds. From this link you can see even a video of the Weigh-ins: https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2020/9/4/21420324/live-ufc-vegas-9-alistair-overeem-vs-augusto-sakai-weigh-in-results-and-video-apex-mma-news I don't see any point in using false information as weight just because source like Sherdog says so.

That claim Overeem's weight being only 234 pounds is just not true. Sherdog says so and same false claim is then added in many other websites. Anyways it has nothing to do with reality and never in any events Weigh-ins Overeem has been 234 pounds. In his latest Weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Sakai he was 252.5 pounds. From this link you can see even a video of the Weigh-ins: https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2020/9/4/21420324/live-ufc-vegas-9-alistair-overeem-vs-augusto-sakai-weigh-in-results-and-video-apex-mma-news I don't see any point in using false information as weight just because source like Sherdog says so.
