Media Alistair Overeem looking huge ahead of his trilogy fight with Badr Hari

Why is this in the UFC thread?

Goodbye horses......I'm running over you

 

[MigitAs]

Reminds me of a familiar scene, especially with the bald headed interviewer.

Underrated announcer/commentator.

 

[El Fernas]

Different testing, he can take the good stuff, i guess Badr could too tho.

 

[Snowblindlove]

I wonder what his weight will be

 

[93confirmed]

He's just a swole Dutchman. Deal with it.

Why is this in the UFC thread?

Maybe because Reem is a UFC/MMA legend?

Why the hell is this in the UFC discussion?:

If a thread about Hasbulla’s headbutts can be here I’m sure a thread about Alistair’s physique can be too

Lol strong accurate poll. 98 to 2 percent in favor of yes.

Eh, it's kickboxing. I don't think anyone really cares about doping in kickboxing. Let him eat horses.

Historical revisionism. You won't find any ranking from 2012 where Bigfoot was ranked over Reem. There's a reason it was such a massive upset when Bigfoot beat him in 2013 when Reem was poised for a shot at Cain. Bigfoot was rekt by DC, Cain and lost to Werdum as well who Reem just beat. Bigfoot wasn't even seen as top 5 when Reem beat Bork (was clearly Cain, JDS, Reem, DC, Werdum from 2011/12).

To me, this is part of the more interesting question: where does Overeem sit on greatest MMA HWs of all time? In my opinion, he's definitely somewhere in the top 10, and I could see an argument for him being in the top 5. Excellent W/L ratio, quality of opposition, and finishing %. However, you could say that he had a habit of falling apart in big moments, and he didn't do himself any favors with his PED suspension in 2012.

I wonder what his weight will be

Glory Kickboxing has no weight limit for heavyweights, so Reem can be as big as he wants.
For example, Jamal Ben Saddik weight 271,7 lbs / 123,2 kg vs Rico Verhoeven in their epic trilogy fight.
What’s the heaviest Overeem has ever been for a fight?

 

[dildos]

Got enough pics there ts?

 

[Exarch01]

I'm having a difficult time viewing the pictures, can you reformat them to be slightly larger and reupload?

If you scroll fast enough it's like an MP4.

Glory Kickboxing does perform drug testing, several fighters already failed drug tests and got suspended for it.
However I can’t imagine the testing is as strict as with USADA (where you can be randomly tested at any time of the year)

266lbs vs Ben Edwards and Todd Duffee I recall

He said he was 274lbs during fight week vs Brock. But he weighed in at 263lbs. So he was likely BSing the 274lbs or that was maybe he starting camp weight. Cause why would you cut an extra 2lbs? If not necessary? Could of been an overshoot though from dehydration. Because on the night of the fight he did look more full than his classic weigh in photo vs Brock

K1 and Dream didnt have max weight either so the 266lbs I recall for those two weigh ins seems accurate. Thus maybe he was telling the truth

Find photos of Reem during the Brock fight and compare to his weigh in

Happy for him being able to live his full potential again!

 

[EricSpider]

I don't understand why he even juices that much. He doesn't have to get that crazy roided huge to be a good fighter.

As sherdoggers we can take it for granted, but being huge feels great.

Thanks for the info mate.

Reem looked absolutely massive in his K1-WGP run in 2010 (which he won).
Watch these pictures of his fight against Tyrone Spong in the quarter finals, looks like a monster!

And in his prime he was still not quite top 3 in either LHW or HW

He was probably the #1 heavyweight in strike force. His gas can really fucked him though vs brown and bigfoot
