Strikeforce’s heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem added another major title to his mantle. At this Saturday’s K-1 World World GP in Japan, the Dutchman put in an amazing performance, beating three opponents on the same night.
In the first of them, Overeem didn’t have much trouble beating Tyrone Spong via judges’ decision. He ended the subsequent two in the first round, beating Gokhan Saki and the legendary Peter Aerts.
