‘The Reem’ Season 5, No. 11: Alistair Overeem takes us inside Elevation Fight Team

Alistair Overeem is the center of arguably the most well-produced documentary series in MMA. The latest episode of “The Reem” shows why.

The series currently is in its fifth season of production after debuting in February 2011, and now the latest episode has been unveiled.

In episode No. 11 of Season 5, Overeem (44-17 MMA, 9-6 UFC) returns to Elevation Fight Team in Colorado where he begins preparation for his UFC on ESPN+ 7 headliner against Alexander Volkov (30-7 MMA, 4-1 UFC), which takes place April 20 at Yubileyniy Arena in St. Petersburg.

Overeem has bounced around numerous camps over the course of his career, but he said he’s settled in well with Elevation Fight Team and the episode spends much time highlighting the coaches and training partners in the gym.

Watch the latest episode of “The Reem” above, and if you missed any previous episodes, a complete series archive can be found here.
