Video: The Reem?


(Video courtesy YouTube/TheReem.com)

The clip above is from Alistair Overeem‘s forthcoming documentary. The film itself looks decent and seems like it’s going to be interesting. I’m just hoping that Ubereem hasn’t decided to drop his "Demolition Man" monicker in favor of the lesser-used, ambiguously gay nickname, "The Reem."

He should ask UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar about the importance of choosing nicknames wisely. Only recently have fans and pundits forgotten that he actually began his MMA career fighting under the nickname "The Big Pink Pounder."

I’m not an Overeem fan and have done my fair share of bitching about the guy, but it’s not about his skill level or fighting ability…it’s about a multi-year absence from drug-tested competition…while being a belt-holder. That’s just too much for me…doesn’t mean I think the dude can’t fight, it just means there is enough doubt to make me think something’s not on the up-and-up. That absence coupled with his obvious physical change makes most of us wonder…

@ unfamous chris, internet etiquette advises that a typed “wink” is preety much stating that you love to blow that Ol meat whistle and are more than happy to get donkey punched on a regular basis, I think, you may want to check that out

I feel overeem will beat Rodgers, but he’ll always be a drug test dodging horsemeat eating girl scout kicking mofo IMO.

@unfamouschris

The correct way to clarify sexual intent after saying something that could go either way (no homo) is to so ‘no homo’.

eg

“Have you seen that video of GSP and Nate Marquardt? No not the one where they wrestle, the one from after that, in the sauna.”

“Yes, several times (no homo).”

Was that a veiled reference to Pounders Fight Squad? Because if it was, no one knows what we’re talking about. :::wink::: (Hope that wink didn’t come off queer)

I guess I should say this now rather than after the fight. If he beats Rogers, I’ll be pegged as a bandwagoner . . .

I like Overeem. I think he’s a very good fighter. I don’t think he’s a GREAT fighter but he’s a solidly entertaining athlete. I think he’s very beatable by anybody in the top 10-15 but he’s also not completely outclassed by anybody, either.

If he was in the UFC, I see him being one of those guys who bounces between being an awesome gatekeeper and perpetual contender. One of those guys who COULD win the strap but would never be able to hang on to it very long.

Based on my own personal experience with AAS, lifting and training MMA, there’s no way I can buy that he’s gained that mass without help. There was just no way I could hold onto muscle that I gained by lifting and supplementing while also doing the ridiculous amount of cardio that Muay Thai and sub wrestling requires. If I want to train MMA, I’ve got to settle on a fairly genetically normal amount of muscle mass (plenty, though) – it was impossible for me to keep more on unless I supplemented beyond my comfort level and ate more than I could possibly afford.

OK, in all fairness it will probably take more than a win over Brett to sway the comment section of CP. But then again maybe it won’t…

Eh, I like Overeem. He was sort of an asshole for awhile. But he’s not so bad now.

I like him more than I like Rogers, thats for sure.

If Overeem beast Rodgers, then fine. I still won’t think of him as the best ever or top ten, just my opinion.

I still don’t understand how Strikeforce can give the title shot to Brett, but not Fedor. Stuff like that makes me think of Strikeforce as amateurish and doomed.

I hate Overroids, but I just don’t think that Brett can handle him. He has some nasty ass leg kicks, just ask your local girl scout. Roids is just gonna do to Brett what Short Bus Matt did to Kimbo last Sat – kick them legs right out from undah you.

edit – @HokeySmokeywithAoki… Never. If I ever comment “War Overeem” I will officially ban myself from CP comments forever.

So what’s gonna happen to the comment section once/if Overeem destroys Grimm with one of those high left knees? I bet it would be something like this:

“Maybe Overeem is the best heavyweight?”, “I bet he would destroy Lensar”, “Fedor doesn’t have a chance”, “WAR OVEREEM!”

PLUS ONE Almost North… ida said +1 but for some reason my “+1″ was flagged as SPAM?

Go away Overeem. What a disgrace as a belt holder. I would say champion, but you’re just a belt holder until Brett or Fedor takes it from you. That is, unless you flee the country again for two years with your precious title.

@ Almost North

Yeah, those where his golden years. When Bas Rutten was still an El Guapo, Frye still creamed chicks with his stash, Severn was still an American Idol, TUF guy was still in his fadders nutsack, etc…

Is Ken Shamrock the new Rickson?

i.e. has “Rickson by armbar” been replaced by “Ken Shamrock by ….”

I’m trying to remember back to when Shamrock ended fights…heel hook?
