At 42 years old, Alistair Overeem has been fighting in one form or another for more than two decades. However, the former Strikeforce, DREAM and K-1 champion says those days are nearing an end.

"The fight game has literally been my life, but, you know, through the years, I learned there's more than just fighting," Overeem told MMA Underground. "There's just a lot more in life.

"I have three lovely daughters, and it's time to be with them. It's time to make the right choice, do the right thing, and that is now to pass my information, my knowledge – that's a lot of fights, a lot of health stuff, longevity stuff – and then just be with my daughters."
