Overeem beat Lesnar fair and square. Lesnar tried to do the standup game, and his standup blows. I think him retiring is the best thing for him. He doesn't need the money, he's got nothing he needs to prove, and he's just too late to the game. He did extremely well with very little experience, but there have been enough fights now that people have him pegged.
That said, Overeem is still overrated. The competition he has faced in his past ten fights are shit, Verdum aside. If he does what he's done to them to fighters in the UFC, I'll happily change my opinion on him. As of now, the caliber of fighter he's faced has been mostly low to medium tier.
