Alistair Overeem leaves Golden Glory citing 'breach of trust'

Former Strikeforce heavyweight champion and new Zuffa employee Alistair Overeem has left the Golden Glory fight camp, a place he's called home nearly his entire career.
"I would like to make a statement regarding the recent news of the separation from my long-time management Golden Glory. As with any relationship, there are good times and bad times - you have your common ground and your differences. As with any relationship, you have trust. When differences lead to a breach of trust, there's no turning back and no way to continue a positive, working relationship. I don't air my dirty laundry. I would appreciate the respect regarding my privacy to not disclose any further details on this matter. Again, I would like to thank team Golden Glory for all the years we worked together and wish them success for the future."
The timing is extremely coincidental considering Overeem was recently booked for a UFC 141 headliner against Brock Lesnar at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While details have yet to be revealed, "The Reem" cites a "breach of trust," so it's safe to say the separation was on less than favorable terms.
But does his recent contract signing with the UFC, outlined here, play a role in the dissolution of his relationship with Golden Glory?
Time will tell.
In the meantime, let's hear your take on this news. Will it affect "Demolition Man" on fight night? If so, for better or for worse? Too soon to tell?
Sound off!

So then I would expect that we get to see no Sergei, Marloes or Gegard fighting under the Zuffa umbrella anytime soon. What is the dirty laundry that was aired or that he doesn’t want to be aired? Are we going to hear anything from Boon on this?

Maybe they told him to bring everyone over?
I have no idea. Maybe roids? Training? There are so many possibilities.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Roids? Lol. Cant imagine that being part of this.
To answer D, I doubt we see Marloes and Sergei leave Strikeforce. I do think Marloes will get another crack at Tate and I am sure they can pair Sergei with Bigfoot. But yeah there went Golden Glory’s “In” to get their guys signed.

Wasn't coenen already released from her contract?
And I would have to imagine that had Sergei not been part of the Grand Prix, he would have as well. I will be curious to see how SF engages him since he was bounced. Anyone know his contract status?

She will be signed if they hope to continue Woman MMA in SF. No way do they proceed with Tate and not bring back Marloes.

past the current contract with Showtime?

I think early 2012 (as suggested below) is accurate.
So that doesn’t leave much time for the division to be developed; and if SF is a sinking ship I wouldn’t expect Zuffa to really invest further into the women’s division(s).
"Before I do anything I ask myself, "Would an idiot do that?" And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
it's early 2012 with an optional 2yr extension
and you gotta assume showtime will pass on the option the way zuffa has been acting towards Strikeforce/Showtime

No I think they are done
Not sure when excatly the showtime deal is over but I assume the reason they made sure the HW grand Prix was sceduled on time and forced Reem to back out was because the tournament end schedule might be getting close to the Showtime contract being finished??
Hendo, Diaz and Reem all in the UFC there is not much for PPV star quality left in SF so unless they are planning to maybe get SF on Spike with lower payed fighters I can’t see SF lasting much longer than the Showtime contract.

Probably the last fight of the HW tournament
And the contract was a three year contract started in February of 09 so I assume that is when it will end? There were reports that Zuffa was trying to extend it to 2014 but it looks like that fell through?

Jackson would be wicked for the Reem
But AKA would be better. Or Roufus or Xtreme Couture.
Roger Mayweather is the best corner man in combat sports! "Keep backing that bitch up. When we get down the stretch we'll really tap that ass!" Haha words of inspiration right there...
You call it a sucker punch. I call it catching the young buck slipping. But he was very gracious in defeat. What Floyd did was definitely not good for the game, I'll be the first to admit that. That fight had the potential to be great. Ortiz was definitely game, even though he was getting lit up. To say Floyd is ducking anyone is silly. When they fight, and they will (brilliant fight hype going on for the last couple years) I will video bet anyone that truly stands behind their words.
by Starr788 on Sep 20, 2011 2:24 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
AKA would be fantastic from a developmental perspective . . .
but with both Cain and Cormier there I can’t imagine it being seen as a viable option. And I think Xtreme Couture would be better than Roufusport in terms of integrating Overeem’s striking and grappling, but Duke is doing some amazing things with his team.
"Before I do anything I ask myself, "Would an idiot do that?" And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
I am amazed at the Roufus guys growth from fight to fight
I thought koch would get taken down by Brookins pretty easily a few times after watching the Mendes/Koch fight. But it obviously didn’t happen.
BTW, I am glad the judges got that fight right.

Bad call then because as a Gracie Barra guy Brookins wont present top notch wrestling skills. He focuses so much on his BJJ and doesnt hit the roots of wrestling well.

I think the throws he hit repeatedly on TUF
gave off the appearance of superior wrestling than he possesses. But nevertheless, I was impressed with Koch’s TDD, especially because he was clearly the much smaller fighter.
"Before I do anything I ask myself, "Would an idiot do that?" And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
weren't they saying Koch cuts down from 180?
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Rogan said he cuts an insane amount for a featherweight. And it would make sense, he looked disgusting at the weigh-ins

You could just ask next time, that will work.
When George comes here it was to get teammate sparring sessions in with guys like Nate, Rashad, Cowboy and Keith. Work with Winklejohn. Talk strategy with Greg, work drills with Greg where he shows what he sees in his opponent.
He works with the olympic team at Zahabi. He works there on his Muay Thai with Nurse and world champion Thai Boxers. He also does alot of BJJ there or in London at Rogers school. Danaher also heads to Zahabi’s to do BJJ.

okay, that makes sense...sort of
I can maybe accept that he won’t want to go with “an up and coming gym”, but Roufus is also a world champion kickboxer who has been regarded as a top level trainer for quite some time. And there are a few heavyweights there that he would be able to train with.

Roufus is relatively new as being a top level coach.

He needs to go somewhere where there are wrestlers (Alpha Male) and really good MMA Jiu Jitsu guys (AKA)
"......I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey....My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious......." - Mike Tyson

Roger Mayweather is the best corner man in combat sports! "Keep backing that bitch up. When we get down the stretch we'll really tap that ass!" Haha words of inspiration right there...
You call it a sucker punch. I call it catching the young buck slipping. But he was very gracious in defeat. What Floyd did was definitely not good for the game, I'll be the first to admit that. That fight had the potential to be great. Ortiz was definitely game, even though he was getting lit up. To say Floyd is ducking anyone is silly. When they fight, and they will (brilliant fight hype going on for the last couple years) I will video bet anyone that truly stands behind their words.

What kind of camp is Golden Glory.
Always thought try were cool. Nah. What kind of camp doesn’t want their fighters who train hard to fight for the biggest MMA organization in the world. That’s like graduating college and your professors don’t want to see you succeed.
If they don’t want their fighters to get to the
Level of why they train then why train. Weird. It seems to be about $$$ an GG didn’t get any in this case GUARANTEE THIS IS THE CASE.
