Golden Glory's Attorney Responds to Overeem Suit - MMA Combat
Representing Holland-based fight team Golden Glory, and affiliated management firm Knockout Investments, the law offices of Roderick J. Lindbolm Thursday released an official statement on behalf of their clients, in response to the pending law-suit Alistair Overeem filed against his former team on Wednesday of this week for undisclosed damages.
“KOI and Golden Glory are respected organizations committed to securing the best fight deals and training for their team of fighters. Mr. Overeem's continued suggestions to the contrary are scurrilous and will be vigorously defended in the proper forum.
The former Strikeforce heavyweight champion and 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix champion split with Golden Glory on September 20, 2011, citing unresolvable differences between the parties.
“As with any relationship, there are good times and bad times -- you have your common ground and your differences,” Overeem wrote. “As with any relationship, you have trust. When differences lead to a breach of trust, there’s no turning back and no way to continue a positive, working relationship.”
"The Demolition Man" (35-11-0) has captured thirty-three of thirty-five career wins by way of stoppage. The thirty-one year old striker has not been defeated in mixed martial arts competition since September of 2007, when he was knocked out by Russian standout Sergei Kharitonov, and today possesses some of the most highly regarded kickboxing in the heavyweight division.
“Alistair Overeem is a striker -- he wants to throw the first punch. But this misguided decision to file a lawsuit as a preemptive strike leaves Mr. Overeem vulnerable in ways our clients wished to avoid” added Lindbolm.
