Heavyweight Alistair Overeem
Releases Statement On Golden Glory Litigation
 This
is Alistair Overeem’s first formal public comment on his ongoing
litigation with Golden Glory. He has avoided comment up to now for
many reasons. First, Alistair believes that the split between
himself and Golden Glory should be kept between the parties.
Although he has been tempted to expose ongoing problems with Golden
Glory’s business, its poor relationship with some of its remaining
fighters, and the deep betrayal he has experienced in recent years,
he has chosen not to air the specifics of those facts. Second,
Alistair was singularly focused on his fight with Brock Lesnar.
Third, Alistair does not want to disrupt Golden Glory’s ongoing
business operations. Fourth, Alistair believes that commenting on
the litigation lacks professionalism. Golden Glory continues to take
action by press release, through public comment and in the
litigation in an apparent attempt to derail Alistair’s career. Now
that Alistair has defeated Brock Lesnar, he feels compelled to speak
up. You will hear from Alistair on many of these topics directly.
We can say that Alistair and his legal team are very confident in
the legal positions he has taken or will take in the California and
Nevada litigation. Alistair is looking forward to having a judge or
jury determine the merits of his position in this litigation.
Although overtures regarding resolution of the lawsuits have been
made by Golden Glory, Alistair believes it is important to see this
matter to conclusion, not just for himself, but for other Golden
Glory fighters, the UFC and its fans.
