Following the news that Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem have been cut by the UFC, the latter has posted a statement.
The 40-year-old Overeem is coming off a stoppage loss to Alexander Volkov last month, which snapped the legend’s two-fight winning streak. After it was reported the Overeem had been released, the decorated heavyweight shared out this statement.
The final run has come to an end, but what a run it has been. Looking back at my 10 years in the UFC, this has been the experience of a lifetime. Huge thank you to the entire @ufc staff, the fans and all the fighters I came across. Couldn’t have wished for any other better career path. A special thank you to @danawhite and Lorenzo Fertitta for making everything possible. Fighting for all of you has been such an honor.
With the loss last month, Overeem’s MMA record fell to 47-19.
