Alistair Overeem Announces Move To Xtreme Couture

This morning on the  MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Alistair Overeem announced an interesting new move for his upcoming training camp.

Overeem who is set to take on former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in his UFC debut on December 30, 2011 in Las Vegas announced today that he will also be calling Vegas home for his training camp. He is now a part of Vegas’ Xtreme Couture.

He spent his entire career training with the Golden Glory camp in the Netherlands, however announced a split due to a breach of trust back in September of this year.

This move should help The Reem’s wrestling immensely, since he will be training with the likes of Randy Couture, Gray Maynard, Jay Hieron and Forrest Griffin to name a few.

Do you Sucka’s feel like this will stop Brock’s ability to take Alistair down? Will the fight even go to the ground?
