from the most dominant fighter in the world...to suspended for steroids...to getting knocked out by travis browne...what the hell has happened to THE REEM?

 

[EmpireWF]

Should've detailed his mass and recent lack thereof.

He's human and the aura of this badass monster is long gone.

 

[Liquidrob]

Always been a front runner

Needs to go back to Japan, these rules and regulations are too strict for Overeem to fight at his peak

We want Megareem back!

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Needs to go back to Japan,

And do what? Fight Satoshi Ishii on Antonio Inoki pro wrestling shows? Then what? There are no fights in Japan aside from Ishii or whatever washed up ex-MMA/pro wrestler hybrids Inoki finds under a rock.

Let me remind you...

Alistair Overeem is a BUM

 

[SHOGUN]

I don't think anything has happened outside of he's just been really slack defensively. He was too arrogant with Silva and kept walking straight into position for Browne's front kicks.

Kickboxing, anytime he has to move with non kickboxing movements he is gassed after 3 minutes

He can put the big gloves on, cover, walk around and land big knees and hooks, plus its a 3 minute round

 

[Liquidrob]

As much as he has flopped in the UFC after beating Brock, The Reem can still go to Japan or wherever and get promotions to pay him to fight Cro Cop again, Aleks, AA, Big Tim, Jeff Monson and even try and get Fedor to come out of retirement

He just needs some dominating wins, a couple kickboxing matches would helps also

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Or, you all could come to the realization that he is a fucking bum.

I think it's time for Overbum vs Febum

Overeem/Hunt is the fight to make.

First of alll, it will be exciting.

Hunt is a pain in the ass to book, because Dana clearly doesn't like him as a top guy and he's dangerous because he beats guys who they want to push. So if Overeem beats him they can finally cut him.

And if Hunt KO's Overeem, they can finally rid themselves of him, too.

Overeem/Hunt, Loser Leaves Town. Book it.

i think thats the most sexy matchup they could make at this time. theres also guys like Stefan Struve, Big Nog, Stipe Miocic, and Pat Barry out there that could be matchups. Almost all of the other notable UFC Heavies have fights coming up soon.

That's a fun match, I wonder if they will try and get The Reen to take a pay cut first

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

HW is a division where you can always make fun fights regardless of a guys bum status.

 

[Steel Mamba]

I kinda think that fight could have been stopped. Not the worse decision to let it go, but I've seen fights get stopped for less. Had he won, everyone would be saying that Reem is back. Instead, it's the same story, too arrogant with his standup and gasses. Nothings really changed.
