UnderGround Forum >> Biggest fall from grace - Reem

Glovegate -

And Dana also thought Brock would destroy Overeem.  They don't know their own damn sport, it's ridiculous.

Just a couple of days ago, Reem was looked at as being some super human - Conan like being...now it's pretty much common knowledge that he's a beefcake wiho's still incredibly chinny. Had there ever been a fall from grace as bad as this? (Maybe BJ Penn)

JOESONDO -  His recent success was entirely based on steroids. Now that he can't roid like he used to, surprise, surprise he's not the same fighter. People should have known that going in and this should not have been such a huge surprise.

I honestly think this is why quite a few of the guys who came from Japan had so much trouble in the UFC. I mean it's just speculation but.....lots of guys came over and lost.

J_Swift - I know i'll be voted down for saying anything thats not positive about him but I'm pretty sure that Fedor fell a little harder. He had a longer winning streak prior to his losses and got submitted and (T)KO'd when in Strikeforce 3 times in a row.

This has happened so many times in MMA. Who could keep track?

There have been so many guys considered the best of the best. Only to lose and be written off as all hype. We saw it happen 15 years ago to Vitor Belfort and we saw it happen 1 year ago to Cain. Both those guys bounced back just fine, while guys like Kerr and Brock did not. We'll see where Overeem goes from here.

Lol. Reem sucks, and always did. Get with it.

...no offense dude.

Olive Garden Table For One -  Fedor's American tour was much worse. Quick subbed, dominates by Bigfoot and kod by a 40 yr old mw who was dominated by jake shields

Reem lost once.  If he gets his ass handed to him the next 2 fights maybe, but wasn't Fedor's fall even bigger?

only noobs really thought he was going to tear throught the UFC...

Fedor'a a legend...you shut your dirty 8" cock sucking mouths.

Reem's a disgrace to MMA.

That's a big guy smashing his face right there!!


Reminded me of the Chuck/Tito finish!!

Even funnier than the Rashad Finish.

Mark Krumrine -  I agree that reem lost, got knocked out no doubt, but to pretty much write the dude off because he got knocked out by a dude that is a huge monster in Bigfoot, is kinda jumping the gun.... Has the reem been Ko'd before? Yes but he's been Ko'd by guys like chuck in his prime, no shame in that.... And to be honest there isn't a heavyweight around that would be able to take the shots overeem did and walk it off, the heavyweight division is simply to the point that any hwt can knock any other hwt out at a moments notice. I am not a nuthugger or anything as in this fight I wasn't really rooting for anyone. I just think its a bit pre-mature to call the reem washed up that quick.

I gotta disagree here respectfully.  I think the point being made here is that the Reem is an awesome hammer but the 2nd it's his turn to be the nail he is done.  This fight was the epitome of how he is.  When he is winning he looks awesome but just like the Chuck fight years ago as sooon as he is on the receiving end the fight ends shortly after.  

 

I did think Bigfoot was going to be a gimme fight though.  I thought a big slow grappler with not so great takedowns was the perfect match up for Alistair to showcase his striking.  Before the fight I thought Bigfoot's only chance was to make Overeem work for a couple of rounds and let him gas himself.  

 

I agree there is no shame in getting ko'd by Chuck but he also has a loss to Arona where he tapped to strikes in a time when Arona was finishing nobody.

It's only a giant fall from grace in the literal sense, or if you believed the HYPE and ignored his actual competition at HW in MMA.

You sure about that? Everyone knew Brock was pretty done, it seemed like the perfect setup for Reem on a big stage. Got his name out there big time.

This. Dana knew what was up. Hyping a fight is all. (in this case) I don't think he believed Brock was winning that fight. 

I love that gif.

if someone can get another angle, and if they could include the whole combo (head kick and all) Id be in your debt.

literally laughing my ass off at the moment.
