and shared a clip on Facebook where the two confront each other.

Bas Rutten had always been vocal about superstar UFC Fighter Alistair Overeem. He told the media in several instances about his weak chin and improper behaviour. Guess Rutten was still salty about the UFC fighter leaving “Golden Glory”.

How Alistair Reem abandoned Golden Glory

Back in the day, ‘The Reem’ had an incident happen to him that caused his removal from the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. He requested a change in date, but the management stuck to the date of September 10th, 2011.

Due to a toe injury, Overeem had asked for a later date. But instead, Zuffa decided to replace Alistair Overeem. This caused a lot of unrest in the Golden Glory fight camp.
