Overeem won the fight via unanimous decision and joined with K-1. He fought once in 2001 and 2004 and lost both times via KO/TKO. Overeem had his next kickboxing fight in 2007 at Ultimate Glory 3 against Jurgen Dolch.

Alistair secured an upset unanimous decision victory over Peter Aerts and a KO victory in the quarterfinals against Ewerton Teixeira but lost in the semi-finals to Badr Hari. br He returned to compete in the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix and went on a rampage as he defeated the likes of Dzevad Poturak, Ben Edwards, Tyron Spong, and Gokhan Saki en route to reaching the finals, where he fought Peter Aerts in a 2009 Grand Prix rematch. Unlike their first fight, Overeem utterly decimated Aerts and TKO'ed him in 67 seconds to win the Grand Prix. br Following this, Overeem did not sign with any kickboxing promotion until 2021, when he signed a multi-deal contract with Glory. br credit: Bloody Elbow
