If you don’t know what the Overeem Effect is I can best explain it by telling you it is an involuntary physical condition that spontaneously occurs when a susceptible person comes into the direct view of Alistair Overeem. It induces a sort of momentary catatonic state to wash over a person while their facial features are contorted uncontrollably into what can only be described as the ‘shock and awe’ face. Luckily this condition is only temporary or we would all be walking around looking like these creepy Sing-A-Ma-Jig toys that look more like they belong in a strange fetish store than your local Toys R Us. If you don’t believe me, just watch this gif of Arianny Celeste falling victim to the Overeem Effect during the UFC 141 weigh ins last night.
