Alistair Overeem seems to have lost a lot of his muscle mass recently and a UFC lightweight compared it to late actor Chadwick Boseman.

The former UFC fighter now competes in Glory Kickboxing, the organization that gave rise to the likes of Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira. Ever since going back to kickboxing, the heavyweight seems to have lost a lot of his muscle mass and fans took notice of it, immediately accusing him of being off steroids.

UFC lightweight Terrance McKinney tweeted out about it saying:

"Yo, last time everyone made fun of a dude losing weight rapidly we lost Black Panther. Not trying to loose Buu also!"

Take a look at the tweet:

Former 'Black Panther' lead actor Chadwick Boseman lost a lot of weight when he was battling cancer secretly and fans were worried for him. McKinney made a comparison between the two and even included 'Dragon Ball Z' character Majin Buu in his tweet.
