On Sherdog.com Heavyweight kickboxer Alistar Overeem is rated the number 8 heavyweight in MMA. Is he a legit heavyweight that should be in the top 10. Some people say yes and others no. Recently Overeem had just won the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final. He used his strength to bully the competition he had. But is he really a legit top 10 guy, this is my opinion.
Honestly, Overeem is a great fighter. No disrespect to him, but hes win streak right now, with his last MMA fight being Brett Rogers, isn't really too impressive. Rogers, Fujita, James Thompson, Tony Sylvester, and Gary Goodridge are not even top guys or even remotely close from being top flight competition. Yet to mention, he has barely even defended his Strikeforce belt. He needs to actually fight a guy that is in the top 10 or even a bigger name to even have him considered to be up there. Nobody is really testing him, he needs to fight a tougher opponent to actually be up there. Good fighter but not a top 10 material type of fighter just yet.
