Dana White comments on Alistair Overeem's charges stemming from run-in with casino patron

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight number one contender Alistair Overeem, who must appear in court next month to answer for charges of misdemeanor battery, is still expected to challenge Junior dos Santos for the division crown.
That's according to UFC President Dana White, who told media members following the UFC 143 pre-fight press conference that "Demolition Man" is still on schedule for his showdown with "Cigano:"
This Overeem thing is a weird thing. For me to speak on it, I don't really know enough about it. I guess he went to XS, a club here in Las Vegas, and he had to use the restroom. This is my knowledge of what happened: He went to go use the restroom, security was going to take him, he said he didn't need security, and sure enough, he goes over there — and this is his side of the story — some lady started yelling and swinging at him and everything else. I don't think he's in that much trouble. This isn't a situation where he beat someone up or did anything crazy. I don't think that's the case. I'm planning on Alistair Overeem fighting [Junior dos Santos].
Overeem was accused of making contact with a woman at the Wynn casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, causing her to "stagger back" in a report issued earlier this week.
"The Reem" was not arrested, rather issued a citation that will call for him appear on Feb. 21, 2012, where his attorney plans to "vigorously defend" his client's innocence.
"I have advised Alistair not to comment on this matter, and that we will do our talking in the court. It should be noted that Alistair was not arrested; he was summoned to court. There are two sides to this story, and we intend on vigorously defending this as Alistair maintains his innocence."
Overeem was on location as the headliner for UFC 141: "Lesnar vs. Overeem," where he stopped former division champion Brock Lesnar via first round technical knockout. After that, well, only he and the woman in question can know for sure.
And perhaps the "eye in the sky."

The majority of drunk women do stupid things
I think we can all relate to that
He was on Steriods
That’s why he got into the fight. No brainer here.

Ah good ol overeem.
Let’s hope the judge doesnt find out about your history of brawling in clubs and all that.

this can go pretty bad
A heavyweight “cagefighter” with a history of brawling in clubs.
That doesn’t sound good

What really happened
The lady most likely saw him and started cursing him out and try to hit him so he probably just blocked a slap and she tripped and fell.

Some women deserve to be hit
e.g. – those who hit others and expect, because they’re a woman, they won’t be hit back.

we have a winner.
+100
Anderson Silva is going to retire Sonnen in Brazil!
Women are at home with their husbands and children. Whores are at the club getting smacked by the Reem.
in some instances i find it acceptable e.g. if a woman is beating on you and you need to hit them back for self defence

It took me too long to realize that
had a horrible past relationship, still got scratch marks and scars from knives to prove it. I’ll be damned if I let another woman do me like that just because she’s a woman

GOD I AM GLAD SOMEONE SAID IT!
I was too scared to honestly. Even if they are not hitting, I get what the law says about hitting others (male or female) but verbal abuse can be just as if not more traumatizing that physical abuse. It is interesting because it becomes a case of abilities. Men are generally stronger than women but on the other side women are much more verbal and can really cut into a person with what and how they speak to them. I really believe that they should both be illegal if 1 is so should the other. Just harder to prove verbal abuse and I get that.

I agree about freedom of speech. That is the trump card on verbal abuse and I get that.
The man up shit is garbage. Nothing about manning up, I can take it all day long. It is the mindset of getting around women that think they can say whatever, hit whomever (as long as it is a guy) and get away with it because they are a girl. It is the principal of the thing that pisses me off. It is such an odd place of thought for me because I would be one of the first people to jump in and take care of business if I saw a guy hit a girl. You know? I would and have jumped in and stopped fights before between guys but if it was a guy hitting a girl and I saw nothing that lead up to it, she could have had a bat I would automatically go after the dude but in that case if I could think about it I would think, well I guess she MIGHT have had it coming if he couldn’t just get the bat away from her.

It's just the way it is in America, if people saw a guy hit a girl in the street
everyone would rush to stop it but if a girl slapped a guy all you’d hear is “oooooooooooooooh” and probably some laughs. but like I said earlier, never again. my girl used to do a lot of foul shit but hey, lesson learned. bitches who act like that deserve no special treatment.
a guy who hits a girl just cause he’s mad and can do it, is wrong
guy who hits a girl after girl is throwing phonebooks at him, pulling knives out and cutting him and wishing death upon his kids, completely justified

He punched BOTH of those little fat guys! That Snooki-beast and the fat guy with the Lance Armstrong bracelet…in his defense they both deserved it..

This could ruin a great fight.
Hope Overeem doesn’t get in trouble for this and either deter him from the fight or take his concentration away. Fighting JDS requires no outside distractions or the Reem could get KTFO…

I’ll tell you what happened he took a lady to tje restroom and thinking she was about to get laid by the horse man he really needed her to inject his roids in his as for him. And she started yelling “I knew it!”. He is starting the cycle as early as he can. I’m joking I’m joking its probably a woman looking to get a quick buck. Hey on another note has anyone seen that bas rutten self defense show on fuel. It’s fucking dumb

money bitch
If she started hitting him and he pushed her away and caused her to stagger or even pushed her over who gives a fuck I’d do the same if some bitch was hitting me in the chops! I wouldn’t hit a woman but ur entitled to defend urself.

any person,male or female, that talks shit or puts their hands on someone else
Puts themselves ina position to get hit. To think it shouldn’t happen is silly. Don’t act like an ass and you don’t have to worry about consequences.

it was a money grab....
dude is 6’5 260+ pounds, all muscle…. why would a girl pick a fight with him just like that? she figured she could do this then get a nice settlement afterwards basically she is using the court system to her advantage.
