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? |
Overeem weighed in at 242. I never said that he was on steroids. I was responding to the person who said that he was drug tested in Strikeforce because he didn't start putting on massive amounts of weight until he went back to Japan.
Since he returned to Japan at Dream 4 he has been fighting at 240+. I don't think it is that out of the question to think that a 205'er who was fighting at 224 in the States, might be on steroids whenever he shows up at 240lbs of sheer muscle in an organization where they don't drug test. He was overpowering Hunt and threw Cro Cop to floor with ease.
