Alistair in Wonderland

I figured with the big Overeem / Rogers fight happening this weekend I'd try my hand at some MMA humor.  We've all heard the rumors about Alistair Overeem's dramatic growth in size from 2003-2008.  I figured I'd give my take on how it all went down (or at least how Alistair might explain it someday).

you’ve made a small mistake… alistair is black, not white. It’s like drawing a ginger girl with big boobs and saying its pamela anderson.

Actually he's not "Black"

His family is from Suriname, or Dutch Guyana in South America.

As it is very possible he could have some “Black” in him, the dark skin is probably from his Suriname genes.

This is a quote from someone who posted on Sherdog about the matter.

I think Overeem his grand grand parents are from Africa, brought as slaves by the Dutch to Surinam. Since alot of slaves got raped it’s high likely he also has some Dutch blood in him. I’m not sue about this, but it’s high likely.

LOL

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after

WOW at that description

but my guess would be a mixture of African, East Indian, and Dutch.

Overeem has a white Dutch mother and a Jamaican father.

Fact!

It disappoints me when some vocal people in cyberspace hide behind a pseudonym and make malicious and baseless attacks against athletes that have never failed a screen for banned substances. These keyboard toxicologists think that they can merely look at an athlete and "know" that so-and-so is a "juicer." There is a term for that. It's called "delusions of grandeur," and medication may help. (Dr. Johnny Benjamin)

So he’s at least partially black right? Unless his father was a Taino or a Arawak which are the indigenous people that originated from South America and settled on the island of Jamaica. After being conquered by Spain/England these indigenous people slowly became intermixed with the slaves brought there so they are hard to label as a single race. But either way Surinamian?? or Jamaican slash Dutch… It would be hard to tell either way. Pretty confusing.

by Brennan Linn on May 15, 2010 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dutch/Jamaican

He is born in Hounslow England, that’s where his father lives.
His parents are divorced and he has only the Dutch nationality.

Maybe Alistair will tell the full story on www.thereem.com
or ask Ariel Helwani to do this for us.

The whole world will be mixed, that’s ok for me, as long as i don’t find a muslim in my bed.

Whatever… I hope he kicks Rogers fat fucking head off tonight!

It sucked anyway!

It's never going to be Calvin and Hobbes qualty, but...

it’s decent. You should have worked in a horse meat reference, though. Maybe made the pills horse shaped or have a horse shaped logo on them and an eat me sign next to them.

And yeah, Alistair’s a bit darker than that.

And I don’t think anyone missed the Alice in Wonderland reference.

by thekiltedwonder on May 15, 2010 11:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

I updated it with a darker Overeem

Hope that’s better

This was awesome

I would like to see more adventures of Overeem in Wonderland, the possiblities are endless.

thanks

I’m pretty sure I can think of all kinds of crazy things he’ll run into. I’d have to rewatch the movie though I think. I thought this part fit perfectly though
