Alistair Overeem signs with Authentic Sports Management

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight number one contender, Alistair Overeem, is handing over the keys to his career while he battles Golden Glory, his former representatives and Dutch-based fight camp, in court over (what else?) money.
"The Reem" will join a handful of Blackzilians, including former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans, under the umbrella of Authentic Sports Management (ASM), who today revealed Overeem as their latest acquisition.
"Demolition Man" breaks down the decision in today's official release:
"With [ASM], I saw right away that Glenn Robinson has a system in place that allows the fighter to focus on training only, which is so important as I prepare for my UFC heavyweight title fight against Junior Dos Santos," said Overeem. "ASM has a team of experts to help you grow as an athlete, from Glenn working hands-on as management to Jen Wenk handling my PR and Karen Gough running marketing, a full-time nutritionist, a finance and legal department - you name it they have it. After meeting with ASM, I was convinced that they can make me the new UFC world champion."
In addition, ASM will handle all of Overeem's "marketing, public relations and sponsorship" and assist the UFC import as he moves forward in his "training preparation, general business affairs and career aspirations."
One of those "career aspirations" is to become UFC Heavyweight Champion, which he's hoping to do by defeating Junior dos Santos at the upcoming UFC 146 pay-per-view (PPV) event on May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Overeem has been crushing the competition for years now, compiling 11 wins in 12 fights (one no contest) since 2007. He made a successful debut with the UFC last December by stopping (and retiring) Brock Lesnar in the first round by way of technical knockout (TKO) using his vaunted K-1 level striking.
Unfortunately, much of the talk surrounding "Demolition Man's" career hasn't been on his achievements, rather his messy break-up with Golden Glory and the ensuing litigation.
Anyone think his new management firm can help him overcome that distraction for what is undoubtedly the biggest fight of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career?
Time will tell.

there is an NAAWP, the KKK and hundreds of neo Nazi groups that profess their hate for blacks
I haven’t lost sleep over it….plus the socio economic impact of racism historically and even today is a LOT bigger than any form of reverse racism you mention…I am pretty sure the white race will survive even with a camp NICKNAMED….“blackzillians” not to mention the camp is owned by a white person and is named imperial athletics….I don’t like the nickname either but I could care less about a camp called “whitezillans” trust me we all have bigger problems than that.

You really don't understand why?
There are double standards because as groups blacks and whites don’t have the same history. Also, many blacks are still living with the socioeconomic legacy of having their ancestors starting at the very bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. You don’t get much lower than a slave, and the primary determinant of your socioeconomic status is that of your parents. Also, blacks are a minority and whites a majority.
Different groups different standards. You don’t treat your kids the same if one is small and sickly while the other is big and strong.

i dont see the issue
cain v. regularly works out with his other team the brownzillians and when sexyama is in the far east he frequently links up with the yellowzillians

"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
I think it is fine, I really do BUT I would also be fine then with a place called Whitezillinas.
I would also be OK with a Tat on someone’s chest that said “White Pride,” by that I mean I respect freedom of speech but just like with Cain, I would not cheer for them.

True, but one can argue that he isn’t necessarily repping that.
I find it much harder to defend someone with a “white pride” tattoo. Whether or not they intend it as a racist symbol.
Fighters fight. Snitches Snitch.
Why?
I really don’t get it. WHy would you take Pride in ANY circumstance of birth? Take pride in your hard working parents because they worked hard, not because they just so happened to have brown or white skin. That has NOTHING to do with anything. I hate it soooooo much! Circumstances of birth are never a reason to put someone down and think less of yourself or someone else and if that is true and you believe in that and I do then the flip has to be true as well. Circumstances of birth are no reason for reverence or grandeur either. Hell, Proud to be an American is a garbage phrase in my book. I feel lucky to be an American and lucky that my parents both had jobs when I was growing up and I am proud of how hard they worked but I am not proud my Mother is mostly Norwegian, why the fuck should you be proud of something that was just given?

I don't think people realize what the word proud means.
Proud – feeling pleasure or satisfaction over something regarded as highly honorable or creditable to oneself (often followed by of, an infinitive, or a clause).
Why would you feel pleasure, satisfaction or feel it is highly honorable that someone was born somewhere or have a certain color of skin? It was just by fucking chance they were born somewhere, how is that satisfying?

OK
I am who I am, and am proud of some of the ACCOMPLISHMENTS I have achieved in life but I am not proud just because I grew up in the country. Proud should be reserved for things you have done. I guess we just have different thoughts on being proud and I don’t think circumstances of birth are something to be proud of. I think accomplishments and things you have done in life are things to be proud of.

What? Please explain how, not trying to be a prick honestly serious , this I do not get.
I am not who I am because my great grand parents on my mom’s side was from Norway or because on my dad’s side is damn near everything except African. I am who I am because of nature and nurture. Because of how my DNA is developed me and how I personally responded to stimulus in my life. Decisions I’ve made. Even if you subscribe to your own argument what if someones forfathers were terrible human beings? Then should you still be proud?

Exactly NATURE and nurture
your white DNA from Norway and every other white place makes you in part who you are.

No, I disagree totally about this. It is just the culture of the area.
Same can be said about food. I had a college professor who taught in Africa a while and had a daughter when they came back to the states the daughters grade school classmates were appalled that her favorite food was some kind of candied bug like a chocolate covered grasshopper or something like that. She probably liked it because she’s black… wait nope, totally white and just learned to like that in the area she was. Even if what you said is true it is still no reason to be “proud” of it.
Seriously it is like saying, I am proud the sky is blue. WTF? It just is blue, nothing to be proud of just like your skin is its color, it just is and nothing to be proud of something that just is ya know?

This was a relevant situation and is still a very clear issue we have in America for sure, can’t speak to other countries. It drives me fucking nuts! You know what, in your vain of sarcasm, Cain’s tat never gets old. Have to stare at it every time he fights and every time there is a pic of him. He has the freedom of speech to have it, I also have the freedoms to bitch about it. And, as you can see following this line in the thread there are those who have not seen the logic behind why it’s wrong and a stupid tat. Why the name Blackzillians is fine name as long as Whitezillians is also OK with the people that think the Blackzillians is ok.

calm down there lil fella
I don’t see anything wrong with white zillions or white pride on someone’s chest but that’s only because I recognize some people are racist and rather they not hide it. Do I think black zillions or brown pride is racist no… Only because they are 2 groups who in this country have a history of being treated infairly blacks more so. But fact is its not a matter of right or wrong but more so a matter of is what it is… Women are hoes If they sleep around men are not. Minorities being proud of heritage is acceptable while the majority who have a history of oppression is unacceptable just the facts my friend just the facts

OK then with your logic. When people in the US census are less white than the other ethnicities
it is fine to start having scholarships for whites only, and suddenly Blackzilians becomes wrong etc… You are saying the only reason we should just accept and expect the ideas of Blackzillians to be all right or all wrong lies in the fact that Blacks (using the term black because it is in the name of organization) are not equal in number and socioeconomic status. That is not right. In morality your own morality, either it is right or wrong regardless of socioeconomic and other statistical numbers.

Your reason?
You keep making flat statements without supporting them. Why should blacks and whites be treated the same today, when they were treated differently in the past, and that legacy still affects their relative statuses?
You also think babies should be treated the same as adults, old people should be treated the same as teenagers, and chronically sick people the same as healthy ones?
Babies and adults... are you serious? There are seriouse developmental issues there, that is a completely differt subject.
Yes they should be treated the same. I guess why should Jews be treated equally, they have a long history of being treated poorly, lets get some minority scholarships for Jews only. You have a very skewed perception of fair and treated equally. When you treat someone differently it isn’t because they need something else or extra. You give someone CPR because they are choking, you don’t say I won’t give them CPR because I am not giving everyone CPR, that would be fucked. Same goes for babies and the sick, you help them because they need it. To imply different races need extra help or to be treated differently simply because they are a certain color implies that they need that help and are worse off without and cannot overcome without. That is a very sad way of thinking.

No...my point was that when they fought Chuck Liddell was on top of the MMA world...or close enough to it
And Alistair wasn’t on his level…
That isn’t hard to agree with is it?
Or should I be just as moronic as others and ask “what would happen if Alistair and Chuck fought today?”

I always heard he had bad cuts back in the day
No source whatsoever, but I was always under this impression. Where the F is Zino at? He can answer these questions.
Fighters fight. Snitches Snitch.

Now he was the power 2 put people away w/giving them a chance 2 come back.

Buentello can take a lot of punishment and Remm isn't as fast as when he was at 205
I think it makes for a good fight, buentello might not have a lot of top level wins, but the guy comes ready to brawl – it isn’t a gimmie and it isn’t K1.

I think Reem beats those guys handily
But JDS seems to be on a whole other level, and the Reem doesn’t possess the ground game that could take JDS into deep water.

JDS is too accurate to stand with for too long…but then again, Alistair has beaten guys who have better stand up than him before (see his recent K1 run)

but it isn’t, so I won’t

Well...I don't think JDS is going to shoot for a takedown...do you?
What I’m saying is…Alistair has beaten guys that have better striking than him, with striking….and mind you, you’re right…in K1 you’re not allowed to close your hands around your opponents neck (muay thai plum)…but in MMA you are
I’m not saying it’s a lock for Alistair, I’m not delusional like that…but by the looks of this thread a lot of people are…cause apparently it’s a lock for JDS to beat Alistair
you also win a fight with 3 knockdowns, and get a standing 8 count
it’s a completely different sport

Overeem won't get close enough to hurt JDS with knees
and while he may be bigger and stronger, he is also a lot slower. JDS lights up Overeem, his MMA striking is overrated, this isn’t a kick boxing match with big gloves on.

a system in place that allows the fighter to focus on training only
While they manage all the money for you. Congrats, Alistair, you’ve just joined the club of future broke fighters.
You have a special way
of highlighting the relevant and optimistic points in every story…
Yup
Always look beneath the surface, to get the true story.
Quote from Terell Owens who is now broke after letting the leeches suck away his $80m fortune:
“I allowed people to tell me they were taking care of my situation, go out and focus on football. And they were going to be taking care of their end. I am partially [at] fault for that. It was an eye-opener for myself and my family and it is a lot an eye-opener for a lot of people in the National Football League that are going to be put in this particular situation.
“I feel like I have been put on this platform to allow people to tell these guys, ‘Be on top of your finances.’ Because they say they are doing one thing and they’re not and they’re doing another.
Isn’t it amazing how close his quote is to Alistair’s? Any athlete who ‘trusts’ other people to handle his money while he focuses on sport is a fool, and he will live to regret it.
Add Allen Iverson to the list...

Your Wikipedia search skills impress me
But you didn’t take into account that going into the match against Overeem he only had 7 fights…
I definitely wouldn’t have any expectations of Brock after announcing his retirement would I? No good sir, I think not!

"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."
- James M. Barrie
I just think it's kind of inflammatory because they are highlighting their skin color as the defining factor in being part of their group. I'm not black so does that mean i can't be a Blackzillian?
No one worth having anything to do with cares about skin color anymore.
Throw in Rashads comments to Bones which were something like “you’re such a white boy” or something like that, like it’s an insult and you must see where i’m coming from on some level.
Rashad gets treated and paid as well as anyone going around in the sport so whats with the attitude?
I love when people are patriotic and show pride about where they’re from, but color of skin as the defining thing just seems a little off to me.

Sure he gets treated well and paid well by the UFC but who are you or me to say how he gets treated on a daily basis.
It’s fine not to care about skin color but to act like racism still doesn’t exist or that minorities can’t be proud of who they are is a bit out of touch with reality

No worries.
I suppose it’s just perspective. We can agree to disagree. Cheers.

It isn't about racism, it's ignorance and arrogance
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Modern translation:
Pride precedes a disaster, and an arrogant attitude precedes a fall.
I am not a religious man before you head down that path, I could care less about the Bible, that has nothing to do with the veracity of the quote though.
More than anything “Blackzilians” just sounds stupid. Who are they supposed to be? Brazil’s culture is Afrocentric, the Samba, much of the food, and Capoeira are all derived from the African side of the Brazilian culture. Why would you need to mix the words “Black” and Zilians"? “Black” as a skin color and a race are already a part of Brazil, so are we simply to assume they are wanna be Brazilians? Are they calling themselves wiggers?
It’s stupid.

Too much pride in one's race is in fact "RACISM"...
It’s not blatant, but does imply that other races are inferior to your race… Sociological Theory…
A couple sentences back you are talking about racism, now you are saying it's "theory"?
You aren’t helping your points.
And to Edgecrushers point, it’s about what you are proud of, not pride in and of itself. Being proud of being white or black or latino is a dangerous and frivolous slope, being proud of your children, or your military service to your country or your longevity at your job are more reasonable things to be proud of, as you actually have something to do with those things. Your race is simply who climbed on top of who and you are the result. Nothing more than luck or unluck of the draw depending on how you feel about what you got. How is race in and of itself something to be proud of? What good does it do to be a proud white man living in the shadow of all the captains of industry and world explorers that came before you when you live in a trailer park in tornado alley? Go out and make your own path and be proud of your own accomplishments – THAT you can be proud of.
