Alistair Overeem Will Pay: SHOCKING UFC NEWS

By Sean Farrell

Alistair Overeem’s split from longtime training/management team Golden Glory has been quite hectic. Since parting ways, Overeem and Golden Glory (Knock Out Investments) have both filed lawsuits against one another alleging the owing of outstanding payments by the other party.

Just before his December 30, 2011, UFC 141 blockbuster main event bout against Brock Lesnar, it was revealed that Golden Glory would be attempting to garnish Overeem’s wages, aided by the ruling of a Nevada judge, from the fight in the sum of near $240,000. The attempt failed when Golden Glory neglected to pay down a $200,000 bond necessary to execute the order.

Even though Golden Glory haven’t gotten their money yet, their legal representative, Roderick J. Lindblom, recently stated that this was only the beginning and that he and his clients will not rest until they have received the money they’re owed.

There has been talk of garnishing Overeem’s UFC fight purse, but that is probably an unlikely scenario.
