Potty all the time: Alistair Overeem clowns rent-a-cops over greedy bathroom attendant

Current Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem was expected to defend his title for the first time since obliterating Paul Buentello way back in November of 2007.
His undefeated challenger, Brett Rogers, was coming off a thrashing of "Abongo" Humphries at "Shamrock vs. Diaz" on April 11. He was ready to test himself against the menacing Overeem, and both fans and media considered it a done deal.
Then nothing happened.
No official announcement, no press conference, just silence.
Then the reason giving for "Demolition Man" being absent from the Showtime card was because he suffered a hand injury during training and was unable to be ready in time for June 6.
Well turns out there’s more to the story then that, according to Fighter's Only Magazine.
He did injure his hand, but this was no training mishap. Golden Glory manager Bas Boon recently updated on the events that transpired.
According to him …
"Alistair attended some famous dance club with his brother Valentijn. Went to the toilet and did not have coins to pay the toilet woman. Alistair told her he would pay a euro when he came back, because he did not have change. Then the security guard who was near by started to get involved. Valentijn saw the incident and also started asking what the problem was. They offered to pay, but by then 6 security guards came over surrounding them. The Overeem brothers were asked to leave, Alistair was already outside when he saw his brother Valentijn fighting. Valentijn still was discussing the situation on his way outside with one of the security guards hit Valentijn in the face with a flash light. Three security guards dived onto Valentijn and brother Alistair wanted to go back inside to help his brother. This resulted in five security guards in the hospital."
Overeem would also pay a visit to the emergency room though only for a small but painful cut he had received on his hand during the altercation, however not without the insistence of those around him.
"It was only because of the management pushing him to go to the hospital that he saved his hand. When he finally got his injury checked, he was advised to stay a few days in the hospital. They told him if he would have come any later he would have lost his hand."
And now you know.
Hopefully Overeem can heal quickly and while he’s at it, also stay out of trouble so we can see the Dutch bruiser finally defend his Strikeforce heavyweight title soon.
Against who? That still remains an open question. Andrei Arlovski, Brett Rogers or even Fabricio Werdum? They’ll be someone waiting in the wings to give Overeem a run for his money once he’s back to full fitness.

most security guards/bouncers, and people that work in club’s are pretty much the scum of the earth, the only thing they respect is money, and if youre not dishing it out, youre a problem

“This resulted in five security guards in the hospital." Haha. Nice. They tried to f_ck with Alistair.

bad news for overeems chances in the ufc, starting shit with staff and fighting bouncers – having to pull out of a fight injured cuz you cant control your bro or yourself in public – this guy should know better and you cocks bigging him up for hospitalising security guards should check your heads. How does it look for mma if one of them got badly injured.

paniczoo you need to chill. The UFC has worse people in it than Alistar. Seriously he beat five men who were beating on his brother. I don’t see how you should demonize him if he used his fist to beat these guys while they were using flash lights to beat his brother. I know for sure If someone was whipping on my brother you bet I’d step in. Its not like Alistar is in the news everyday for this kind of thing.

Look at it like this, Lesnar gets in a fight over a couple of dollars at a night club and has to pull out of his fight at ufc 100 with an injured hand. How would that look? This kind of shit is just stupid, Overeem is a dumb cunt.

What a bunch of dumb ass to not recognize him??

nice to know that he beat the crap out of them, security guards are always rude and violent and this time they got it back in their face!..

How many people in a club do you really expect to recognize Alistair? He is not exactly the most famous fighter around. I think they could tell that he looked like a bad ass though, considering there was 6 of them. haha
I am wondering how much smaller Overeem is going to look when he does finally defend the title. I am going to guess a bit smaller than he was in Japan.

I wouldn’t expect more,than a dozen!But i would,expect doorman’s to know a little bit more about self defence and MMA though!

if thats true that is hilarious!!! obviously they didn’t know who overeem was like he is a pretty intimidating looking guy as it is….plus he does have some pretty fearsome stand up so that story is believable lol

well they had just kicked them out,then he went back to help his brother out.So they probably knew better to try to get physical with Alistar,I would love to see some survelience footage of the fight.Watch him smash all of the bouncers like a movie.

I’d love to see it as well. Couldn’t sleep last night and was watching that Gangland or whatever show on History channel. It was Hell’s Angels vs The Mongols, biker war in California. They had some pretty good footage of a HUGE brawl/stabbings/shootings in a casino in Vegas between the two gangs.

It had to be pretty bad ,he put all of them in the hospital from what I read earlier.
Is like a show ,sort of done like Deadliest Warriors

WOW, other people watched too??? Nice. I’ve seen the show several times, but its not something I got programmed on my DVR (I VERY rarely watch anything besides sports ‘live’ on tv, I MUST fast forward commercials!!).
I was just making sure that I had DREAM 9 set to record 2 hours late, I searched for Gangland. There is a marathon on Saturday the 31st. I will be recording…

They should have known better than to mess with his brother Valentijn too. he is also a damn good fighter. Regardless, who the hell starts messing with either of those 2. At 6’6" 260lbs anyone is going to be a lot to handle, but a fighter… forget about it.

I hate bathroom atendants. They start throwing liquid soap and an environmentally unfriendly amount of paper towels at you before you even have a chance to get your wang completely back in your pants, then expect you to give them a dollar every time. Well, I drink a lot of beer, so once I break the seal I’m pissing every 20 minutes. I’m not giving you a dollar every 20 minutes. Screw you bathroom guy!

Can’t stand the idea of toilet attendants, to be honest it sickens me. I don’t know how such a degrading and pathetic job like that is even legal in civilised societies. I really feel uncomfortable having someone (usually black) trying to dry my hands for me, it’s the one thing that puts me off clubbing. Plus, the tips always seem dodgy to me, as it’s expensive enough to go clubbing in the first place, nevermind having to pay to have a pee.
Funny story, my mate got drunk on a night out and ended up randomly giving the toilet attendant all of his money without even getting a deodrant top-up so he couldn’t afford any other drinks or the taxi back. Even he didn’t know why he did that.

I f@cking hate toilet attendants! I’m 29 years old, I can wash my own frigging hands, mother taught me that years ago. I’ve just paid £10 to get in the club, drinks are £5 each and to cap it all off, you want me to pay to take a piss???? Get f@cked!
Those bouncers probably got what they deserved, I’ve never met a club doorman who isn’t a complete c**t and a wannabe tough guy. I would have loved to have seen the Overeems dishing out their own brand of justice.

Even if he does juice (which is obvious), they attacked his brother!

Holy $h!t he nearly lost his hand. How the hell did he not think that he might actually need to go to the hospital straight away. When I was teenager I fell through a window and decimated my hand and wrist. I sure as hell knew I needed to go to the hospital ASAP.
I would love to see the CCTV footage.

I don’t know who in their right minds would fuck with the Overeem brothers.
As if Alistair isn’t intimidating enough, Valentijn is also a monster.

Alistair Overeem is a fucking beast!
He’s improve so much since his PRIDE days… and a lot bigger.
Those security guards got what they deserve, you don’t fuck with anyone thats bigger than you especially if you’re a fighter.
ALISTAIR OVEREEM vs. ANDREI ARLOVSKI!!
make that fight happen in DREAM, save that organization from extinction.

why doesnt white try and get Valentijn in the UFC, wouldnt have to pay him any where near the amount as his brother, plus he has a little name recognition. guys beated couture after all.

Security guys are almost always dicks.
Scratch that always dicks and this time they got what they deserved, an ass beating.
War Overeems!

put 5 in the hospital! wow. I think the greatest victory of Chuck’s career was against Alstair
by hatteras on May 22, 2009 6:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
One of his best KO’s for sure, but I don’t think his greatest victory. I really wish Chuck would have retired after beating Wandy. That was, in my opinion, maybe the most exciting fight ever. If Wandy loses to Franklin, then I wish that would have been his last fight as well, although the KO of Jardine was pretty devistating.

Good old security guards – seriously who would do that f**king job. I was out last night actually, and the security team looked like they all got off the ‘one flew over the cuckoo’s nest’ bus! Morons. Apparently those shitty restraint locks and haymakers dont work against one of the best heavyweights in the world :)

I have a hard time believing that none of these meatheads involved had no idea who he was. Im guessing they did know and were just trying to make a name for themselves throwing Overeem out so they could talk shit to there buddies about taking him out at the bar. Good move guys, hopefully there were plenty of witness’s so the Overeem boys dont get sued over it!!!!

yeah right im sure its the other way around..the 2 bros got theyre ass kicked lol…common tito got his ass kicked and so did don the predator frye…mma fighters are not good street fighters

2 bad these guys started out as streetfighters in there youth did some bouncing yhem selfs (valentijn) still does btw.
And its logical when tito and frye get a beating all of the mma fighters will in a streetfight

Bouncers, are notoriuos douche’s, probably because they have to deal with drunk idiots all night?? I imagine that this is the Overeems story on what happened. I would like to see the security video too, just to see what else went on that wasn’t told. Not to many people go around hitting someone with a flashlight without a reason (even for a douchie bouncer), such as maybe being hit by an unrulie Customer.
