Alistair Overeem Eats Horse Meat
In a recent interview with Croatian website Index.hr, heavyweight Alistair Overeem disclosed his rather odd choice for a new diet (though perhaps it explains why he’s bulked up significantly in recent months):
“I changed my diet, I changed my coach and when I really think about it – I changed everything. From my girlfriend to my training and diet. Before I ate a lot of vegetables that are healthy but contained little energy. Now I mainly eat a horse meat, rice and protein shakes. I got rid of my old coach who was in charge of my fight strategies. It simply wasn’t working. I just started to think about what do I had to do to become a better fighter.”
Better or worse than drinking your own urine? Debate it in the comments.

Ya, I’m sure it has nothing to do with massive amounts of Test that he is sticking in his ass daily…lol…what a joke.
well, what ever hes doing its working out
cause he beat up an old crocop, lols
but his ground game is still terrible
To be fair I did meet Overeem’s girlfriend at Strikeforce and can attest that she is ridiculously smokin hot.
Dude’s nasty, but not as nasty as Machida
mayb if u mix drinkin ur urine and eatin horsemeat u become some kind of unstoppable ass kickin machine. or ill go further drinkin ur urine makes u elusive eatin horse makes u stronger. whos gonna try it?
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha-Where’s Mikey?
Why don’t you just combine the best of both and drink horse urine.
Horse meat contains 20% more protein than high quality beef cuts, 25% less fat, nearly 20% less sodium, double the iron and less cholesterol. When compared to ground beef, horsemeat has 55% more protein, 25% less fat, 30% less cholesterol and 27% less sodium.
Wikipedia is my friend.
I don’t care if Anderson Silva have to eat sh1t to put a good fight……..
I want my 45$ back of “Guranted satisfaction”……
yeah that makes sense in an article about alistar overeem.
I agree with chrisl on this, “on topic” is kinda nice when talking in specific threads
HGH and anabolic steriods
Looks like all this horse meat is turning him into a stallion! . . . . . . [tumbleweed everywhere] . . . . . . No? Damn! Jokes aside id be more concerned if the headline was “Overeem eats babies”. Whatever works for you Alistair, just if you lose your next fight we dont want to see a long face . . . . . . I really appologise guys
alright, the first one I was willing to overlook.. the second one though?? no. You go sit in the corner now and just think about what you’ve done mister!
Now the funny thing here is how this is supposed to be nasty. It doesn’t say he is eating it raw or anything. Plus depending on the horse it’d be pretty lean. Hell if you go further south in GA you have people eating Alligator tails.
How about the people who eat dogs?
I think jerod hit the nail on the head… whos the next fighter going to be when he discusses his diet? I really dont want to think of what it is. we went from drinking your own urine, (a cultural thing), to eating horsemeat. to me its weird. the leanest meat Ive ever had was buffalo. I was informed it is leaner and has more protein than ground beef. however it tasted like chicken. I would like to know what horse tastes like, probably chicken. this horsemeat diet seems to work for overreem, maybe he is just covering his butt when he gets busted for roids. hes gonna blame it on the horsemeat saying it was from a racehorse that was juiced.
everything tastes like chicken dude.
A lot of European people eat horse meat the French are known for it… Its crazy to think of eating horse but clearly he was o so very hungry (thats my bad)
Alot of the poor in “early America” would eat donkeys or mules to get by on their long treks across the great unknown, but if the guy wants to eat horses so be it.. Its odd yea but whatever…
As far as the
HGHsteroids blah blah blah, when he defends his StrikeForce title, he will be tested for those things so its a wait and see thing…well if he tests positive for HGH…I want to know who tested him because you can’t test for it…yet haha.
I agree with you on the horse. I don’t see how that’s gross. It’s going to be lean.
nice catch there chrisl, its been a long day good looking out, I “fixed” it cheers
no worries! Just saw that and had to laugh!
If he ever defends the title!
That much extra protein, plus the added additional creatine means huge muscle gains without having to shoot up. Throw in less fat and sodium and you’ve got the makings for looking really ripped.
Hey, everyone gets on Mac Danzig to eat some meat because all he eats is veggies. Overeem did just that and look what happened to him…. everyone said he’s ‘roiding. Maybe Danzig should stick to the veggies after all
i guess kongos been eatin horse meat since he came out whe womb
no get it right…he feasts on the flesh his enemies and small horses…whole… haha
Whatever he’s doing, it’s re-energized his career!
They asked Overeem to comment about eating large horses, but he was speechless…turns out he was just a little horse.
Ive had gator and snake meat .Ive heard of people eating horse and bison out in the midwest.If you think about it it makes sense to eat cleaner instead of the penned and maltreated cows.
