Using the 3D glasses I forgot to recycle at the movie theater, I am able to confirm that Overeem is definitely a little bit closer to the camera – in fact, too close for my comfort. And Duffee is already tucking his chin…

I think Reem is simply closer to the camera.

I completely misread that for a second an thought and thought Tim Sylvia was taking on Overeem. By Japanese MMA matchmaking, that would still have made sense.

It’s a Roiddown in Tokyo Town! Did someone order a metric fuckton of horsemeat?

I think some of that perspective you guys are talking about is that Overeem is closer to the camera than Duff, making him appear more hyoojer. I dunno. Guess we will see on NYE. Didn’t Reem weigh in at like 239 for the K1 Gp? Dam. I am pumped for this fight.

Also, does it look like Reem has a Chuckhawk, only it’s off center?

Weight and height doesn’t always tell the tale. Where the weight is positioned, bone size, how broad the shoulders are and how big the individuals legs are can give huge differences in looks.

I’m just under 6’0 and 184lbs but my buddy whose a crazy gym rat but 5’10 ~175 looks way bigger than me, and not much shorter.

Either way, Overeems just built to fuck shit up in some shape or form. He definitely wasn’t destined to be a bank teller down the street.

their positioning in this pic gives the illusion that is Reem is swoll beyond swoll compared to shrimp nuts on the Right but i’m fairly certain their about equal size with Reem having maybe 1 inch or 5-10 lbs on Duffee

**Scratch that… Apparently they both came in at exactly 253 for each of their last MMA bouts.

Koeikan- December 29, 2010 at 11:22 am

Well, Overeem definitely LOOKS much bigger…but I’d have to question their positioning because I’m fairly sure Duffee weighs more… Reem is usually low-mid 250s. I thought Duffee I recall Duffee being closer to 260.

Duffee looks tiny next to Reem, good god the mans huge. Look at the size of his fists, really puts things into perspective. This is going to be a great fight. Lots of good fights coming up, really can’t complain. Overeem by knees, or knee… haha

I totally agree with Todd Duffee’s shirt, and with the expression on his face it looks like he might as well.

KidDinomite- December 29, 2010 at 10:00 am

Yeah, pretty sure The Reem takes this fight. I hope Duffee makes this a good fight though…

I thought duffee would be similar in size to ubereem. holy shit.

Jeeves- December 29, 2010 at 7:47 am

holy crap!

I used to see Duffee at ATT all the time and always thought he was a monster… This picture really puts Reem’s size in perspective. Gotta get me some horse meat, stat.

Funny how Todd looks like a scrawny teenager standing next to The Reem. God help him.

In other news, between UFC, DREAM, and SRC, there are metric fucktons of fights in the next few days. Happy holidays, you bastards.
