MMANews.com spoke with Alistair Overeem this weekend regarding his upcoming fight with Brett Rogers on May 14th at Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery and the Strikeforce heavyweight champion talked about one question that has lingered around him ever since he sprouted big muscles, is he on steroids?

People will always speculate says Overeem, I will be tested just like anybody else and like I’ve said before I weighed 235lbs in no time when I did not have to cut weight. Gaining 10lbs a year by lifting weights isn’t a big problem. Before I would cut between 22lbs-26lbs to get to the 205lbs weight limit. It was crazy. Now that I can eat and do not have to cut anymore(with his move to heavyweight division) it was easy to put on the extra muscle weight. I feel great.

Overeem will defend the title for the first time since he won it in November of 2007 and according to the Rogers camp Overeem will go through strict drug testing prior to the bout to ensure performance enhancing drugs will not come into play but that doesn’t faze Overeem.

People are just jealous.
