‘I feel younger now than I did 5 years ago’

Alistair Overeem won’t rule out making a sensational comeback at 46 years old.

‘The Demolition Man’ hasn’t fought in MMA since being TKO’d by Alexander Volkov at UFC Vegas 18 in February 2021.

Since then, Alistair Overeem has competed in kickboxing against his long-time rival, Badr Hari.

The one-time UFC heavyweight title challenger won their October 2022 trilogy fight by unanimous decision, however the result was subsequently overturned to a no-contest on account of a failed drug test.

Alistair Overeem has overcome the injury that retired him

Alistair Overeem is feeling higher than he did while competing after 4 years in retirement.

The previous Strikeforce and Dream heavyweight champion continues to frequently train.

Overeem looks like he could fight again tomorrow, but does he feel like that may be a possibility?

“An injury took me out of the game,” Overeem said during an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow.

“A lower back injury, it was nagging. It got here back a few times in my profession. The last time it didn’t wish to go away, and it forced me out of the game.

“I feel higher now than I did five years ago. I feel younger. That being said, the time away did somewhat take me out of form. I lost some mass.

“So, I’m just training, and I’m having fun with it. That is my bread and butter. It gives me pleasure. I’m just doing what I like. If it leads to, ‘Hey, we feel like are going to kick ass again,’ which could possibly be, you’ll be the primary to know.”
