Time to hang up the gloves for Overeem?

I’m still improving: even at 40 I think you can clearly see that in my fights. I’m still on a learning curve. But I have to be realistic. I’m going to have a couple more fights, then I’m going to hang up the gloves. If I win the belt, then the mission is completed #onefinalrun pic.twitter.com/gxQrZrrhhc

Veteran Alistair Overeem seems like he has a lot left in his tank before saying goodbye to the Octagon. At age 40, he is still determined to get back and pursue the title and he is hoping to have consecutive wins.

A positive Overeem wants to go on one last run to get the championship and if he does not then that is his sign to retire. Should Overeem continue after this and aim for the title or is it better he retires in a simple fashion?
