Alistair Overeem Charged With Battery After Incident With Woman Weekend Of UFC 141

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal UFC superstar Alistair Overeem has been charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from an altercation at Wynn Las Vegas over New Year's weekend. That would have been the period of time when Overeem was in town for his fight with Brock Lesnar at UFC 141. Overeem won that fight by first round TKO.
It appears that Overeem shoved a woman in the face and, while not arrested, was given a citation. He is scheduled to appear in court on February 21 and faces up to six months in a detention center and a $1,000 fine.
The UFC has not yet commented on the situation and I don't expect them to until after the court date passes and we see exactly what comes out of it.
I seriously doubt he gets 6 months and I don't have the knowledge to really understand how Overeem's nationality affects things.
I will say that, while I'm sure there's more to the story, I'd like to think that there is a way for a 6'5" 260+ pound professional fighter to handle a situation involving a woman that doesn't involve shoving or hitting. So, hopefully this turns out to be nothing.

Curious...
Where did that joke originate? I have seen it around a fair bit and I am wondering about its origins.
One person alleged that Chael killed 3 hookers in the mid 90’s, while another person alleged that Chael killed 2 other hookers. 2 + 3 = 5 hookers killed by Sonnen.

People also said it about Glenn Beck. At least then there was some vague point about him previously saying “Well if it isn’t true, why isn’t he denying it?”. Don’t think that much thought went into plugging Chael’s name in though, certainly wasn’t funny the first dozen times.

i think you may have just proven my point.
human trafficking exists in the u.s. no one disputes that.
proportionally, though, places like amsterdam, somalia, and calcutta surpass it by far.
there are less than 3,000,000 people in the amsterdam metro. there are almost 313,000,000 people in the u.s.

Immigration consequences
Misdemeanor battery is a “crime involving moral turpitude” under immigration law, even if he receives no time, and even if it’s just a misdemeanor, as long as it requires an intent to inflict bodily harm, and not just an intent to touch or recklessly inflict bodily harm. I’m not familiar with Nevada (or in this case, probably Las Vegas) law, but a quick read of the statute looks like it requires intent.
There is something called the petty offense exception under immigration law, where as long as the maximum possible sentence is one year or less, and Reem actually gets less than 6 months, it won’t prevent him from entering the U.S., at least in theory. However, U.S. consulates have basically unfettered discretion in issuing visas, and I’m guessing Reem has what’s called a P1A performers visa, so if they want to use it to deny a visa, they could.
That being said, this sounds like a stupid case, and as long is it’s a 1st offense, no way does Reem actually plead guilty to the charge. His mega-priced attorney will surely get the charge lowered or dropped, in which case, no problem.

It’s been a while since immigration law, but that sounds about right. Also, while journalists love to throw around the theoretical maximum penalty for any given crime, more than likely this is a $100 disturbing the peace ticket and is nothing to worry about.
"an excellent example of why most MMA "journalism" is a joke. Pseudonyms like "toxic" and shitty writing like that dopey article"--- Joe Rogan.
Did a little more research...
Procrastinating, anyone?
Nevada battery is actually not a moral turpitude crime. Force includes a broad array of conduct, not all of which is violent. So no problem.
But as toxic says, no way does he actually plea to this or get convicted of it. To be honest, I can’t think of a reason why charges got filed in the first place. No actual injury, at a club, where everyone is drunk? Give me a break.
you're (presumably) a lawyer and can't figure out why charges got filed against a famous person?
isn’t money usually the answer?

Injury doesn't make a difference
It’s not a civil suit. Its a criminal charge. The majority rule on battery in the criminal context is an unwanted intentional offensive touching = battery. There is no requirement that the defendant inflict injury, or intend to inflict injury. He only needs to intend to carry out the uninvited offensive/ harmful touching. Now, I say that’s the majority rule. Nevada may require injury as an element of criminal battery, but I highly doubt it. So if I’m the prosecutor, and I’m reading the police report, I’m looking to see if all the elements of the offense are present, and I might take a look at the impact it had on the victim. And I don’t mean in terms of physical injury, but maybe that would be considered w/in the scope of the overall impact.
Touching a person isn't battery

Touching is battery.
"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something"...The Dread Pirate Roberts
It could be techincally considered battery
under certain circumstances but wouldn’t be enough for charges to stick.
Furthermore, under Nevada law an action doesn’t necessarily need to be violent in nature to qualify as a battery crime. For example,
John is sitting in a Mesquite NV nightclub when he grabs his cocktail waitress by the arm. After she screams, he immediately lets go of her, and there are no bruises or marks on her arm.
In this case, the Mesquite prosecutor might argue that John committed battery on the waitress even though she wasn’t hurt by the incident. The fact he unlawfully touched her is technically enough for her to press charges. In reality, though, trivial cases like these probably wouldn’t be prosecuted.

Hey Mike, I agree under criminal law. I’m talking about from an immigration law perspective, whether a conviction would affect Overeem’s ability to fight in the U.S. Cheers.
Unwanted offensive touching, with no intent to injure or harm
rarely leads to a conviction.

Looking for a job with the UFC
I think they should bring the immigration aspect of fighter visas (and of course, fighters coaches, families, etc) in-house, which I will gladly do for the low-low price of cageside tickets to every UFC and an average salary. Becoming Joe Silva’s right hand man would be another sacrifice I’d be willing to make.
There used to be issues all the time with fighters failing to get visas, for example Mark Hunt and Yushin Okami come to mind. But I haven’t heard anything lately.
I tried to ask Dana for a job at UFC 82 in Columbus, but I chickened out and just shook his hand instead. Maybe if it ever gets regulated in New York, I’ll give it another go.

It did seem like she was bothered by his antics.
She was cool with him hitting her, and doing the chokes, because it was planned and they were just playing around a bit. But When he ambushed her like that, it was pretty clear that she wasn’t prepared for some giant dude to grab her and toss her to the ground.
Okay, that’s not how I interpreted the situation at all. We’ll probably never know for sure though I guess.
Also: someone should really make gifs from when he punches and kicks her! Would be a great addition to the collection.

A video was posted below.
She was laughing and smiling when Overeem was hitting her(lightly) and even when he put her in the chokes. But when he grabs from behind, you can tell she is struggling and isn’t having fun anymore. And then when she is on the ground, she sits up to finish the interview(or w/e it was) and you can see that she is a little shaken up about what just happened. It seemed like it was planned and she didn’t enjoy it.
That being said, I don’t believe Overeem was being malicious. I think he was just trying to be funny and forgot that he was a 250 pound athlete/trained fighter and she might not like being ragdolled by somebody she was trusting not to hurt her.
True
At a certain point, its natural to be scared even if there’s no real danger.

I think most peole would be a little scared if they were playing with an MMA fighter
Even though they know that these, especially the HWs, are generally the nicest people on earth, it’s still a scary prospect. It would also have to be terribly fun to have your favorite fighter hit you/submit you/throw you around etc, without being in any real danger. I think she agreed to all of those things, and had a good time of it.
However, I don’t think they planned on him grabbing her from behind, putting his hand over her nose and mouth while she struggled, and then tossing her on her face. That is pretty clearly shown by her expressions during and directly after it all went down.
Yeah well, again, she brought it on herself. See my reply to Hardy’s above.

Overeem put his hands on a woman!?
When will she have the baby? Or, perhaps a better wording is when the baby will have her…uber kneeing out of her like an Alien chestburster.
I can’t help but think of that gif where Overeem is walking away from the cage after he beat Werdum(?) and bumps into some skeezer and she turns around all pissed off, sees who it is and is like “Oh… damn!”

This?
Chael Sonnen has finished 1 fight in his 14 UFC/WEC fights. By comparison, another non-finisher, Frankie Edgar, has finished 3 fights in his 11 UFC fights. Is anyone in the UFC a worse finisher than the "great" Chael Sonnen?

That's the one! Haha, the fear in her eyes.
Man I want that shirt.
I’m reserving judgement as I’ve been in a similar situation. A drunk/high girl was trying to climb my friend’s little brother at a concert so I pushed her away, she fell down, went and got security and I had to deal with the same crap.

A friend of mine was charged with misdemeanor battery after breaking up 2 drunk girls fighting at a burger king at 2am. After they were separated, the girls (who were friends) decided to apologize to each other then told the arriving police that my buddy had joined in on the fracas and attacked the one he pulled off.
The charges magically disappeared after burger king coughed up the security tapes.
Yeah stuff like that is ridiculous
My charges were dropped once my attorney showed the photos of the scratches all over the boy’s neck/shoulders scalp, from her trying to scale him and the swabs the cops took from under the chick’s nails. I think she ended up paying some kind of fine and had some probation because he was a minor.
Justice isn’t blind it’s just “simple”.

I won't judge because we have no context
He could have been a dick and this might be serious, maybe it was a misunderstanding, or maybe an obnoxious woman got in his face with the “you can’t hit me” mentality and got snuffed.

This.....
Only in America!!
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)

Overeem has always come off as a level-headed, professional and I’m going to call BS on these charges as well. My prediction: the club was crowded and everyone was drunk and dancing, girl gets knocked over somehow by Overeem and she later realizes he’s a famous person.
"Referees, be sure to step in and stop the fight on time tomorrow, because I might get carried away in the moment and my many punches may end up destroying my opponent." - Tatsuya "CRUSHER" Kawajiri
Remember that time the Overeems were in a brawl with a bunch of bouncers and he got glass in his hand which got infected

It came out later
That he was completely justified and in the right.
"I'm ready for fight. If I'm win, no win. I don't know. But, I'm ready for fight. This is my working[shrugs shoulders]" - Anderson Silva
"You'll get Lil Wayne in woman pants and like it!" - Krimson
Yeah I don’t buy this. Probably just some drunk chick got too close and obnoxious, and decided to press charges after she was denied. Or maybe she just ran into his arms and fell on the floor. Reem seems like a gentleman, don’t see him going around shoving women unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Nationality will not affect the matter at all
His being out of the country may result in his state side lawyer postponing the court date, that is, as long as the G doesn’t object, but otherwise, nationality will not affect matters.
I know it was a beating, but calling Brock a woman seems petty...
And i didnt think a fighter could catch a battery charge for beating someone up in the octagon…
The article didn’t mention the “woman” had a bad haircut and a pair of Deathclutch shorts…
This will not stand man, this aggression will not stand!

I have a feeling this girl was drunk and getting too close/slobbering all over the Reem who then probably moved her aside. Also I’m sure his documentarian has the whole thing on tape anyways so we’ll know soon enough what really happened
ONE FC NEVER DIE
Do be fair, he hadn't put his shirt back since the weigh ins.
Can you really blame some girl at a club for slobbering all over him?
Please tell me
Someone else remembers those videos from holland tv that cane out a few years ago of term absolutely BRUTALIZING the young tiny Girl holding a Thai kick pad. Like brutally knocking this girl to the ground and hitting her as hard as he can while he just smiles. Its really bizarre.
by bert44 on Jan 31, 2012 3:44 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Brutalizing is such a strong word.
She probably said ‘No.’ to being kicked but we all know she wanted it.

I assume you mean Gordo's gif
because in the real instance, the BRUTALIZED young girl quickly got up, laughing her ass off, and Reem obviously did not kick her as hard as he could.

asked to be kicked harder the second time. Way to take things out of context boob.
