1. As Dork said that was a while ago.
2. As Smoogy said, Overeem now works extensively on strength training.
3. I read an interview a few weeks ago (sorry, no link) that said Cro Cop was going to weigh in around 215-218 for this fight, so that'd put Overeem around 235-238.
All in all, Overeem gained between 11-14 pounds after a year of extensive weight training for a professional athlete w/ a large frame. I think it is extremely unfair to accuse him of steroids, if he were to be a steroid user don't you think he would have been using EPO at LHW instead of gassing every fight?
