Video: Alistair Overeem blasts Glory for financial issues, lack of heavyweights

Alistair Overeem says that kickboxing market leader Glory struggles financially, lacks big crowds and has "no heavyweight division".

No one else was able to accomplish what he did: Alistair Overeem won titles in two major MMA organizations in Dream and Strikeforce, and topped all of that by winning the K-1 World Grand Prix in 2010, the most prestigious trophy in kickboxing. Today he fights exclusively for the UFC, and a return to pure standup combat is something he finds hard to picture.

"No," he said in an exclusive interview with German outlet GNP1.de.
