i am amazed at what i am seeing across the mma forums lately
things like
"the reem hype is over"
"overeem sucks, he will get destroyed by everyone in ufc"
"overeem isnt a top 5 striker in he heavyweight division"
"this fight just showed jds and cain would destroy reem"
"big foot is gonna expose reem"
"reem has the worst cardio"
i cant believe it
is everyone seriously writing reem off becasue of his performance against werdum???
i never thought id see the day when beating the the 3rd ranked heavyweight in the world meant u sucked
its so crazy how everyones fckn opinon changed 180 after one fight.
did overeem look impressive against werdum? it wasnt the greatest match of his career, but is it reems faullt? hell no
werdum flopped to the ground over and over again playing possum, every little jab reem threw resulted in werdum on his ass
the only way reem could know werdum was actaully hurt and rocked was to throw some heat in his punches.
did it look like werdum won a couple of striking exchanges? sure, reem had to keep his hands low at all times because werdum was spamming takedowns, but reem absolutly did more damage than wedum did.
if you truly believe werdum is a better striker, go jump off a bridge, becasue werdum wouldnt last 10 seconds against tyrone sponge.
why isnt anyone talking about reems amazing take down defense??? werdum was fckn 0/52 on takedowns.
reems cardio looked terrible??? werdum could barely stand up in the third round!!!
anyone who has ever wrestled knows shooting for a takedown and defending against a takedown uses a shit ton of energy, especially when u try and shoot over and over and over and over. anyone would have been tired.
lets also not forget reem ****** up werdum in the clinch, a place where big foot likes to work.
and last but not least, jds and cain. both amazing fighters, but what this fight had to do with them i have no idea.
its like saying strawberries and bananas taste like shit today, these apples have to be awesome tomorro.
i also truly believe overeem was trying to appeal to his american fan base by repeatedly going for the big highlight reel knockout. people overseas know reem, and he was simply trying to do the same here. he came out with a dallas mavericks flag for cryn out loud. he wants american fans to love him, and what better way than by brutal KO.
he will not make the same mistake against big foot.
and no this isnt a troll thread, this is me calling about all the media sheep.
i gotta say i dont mind all this tho, reem is going to have great
odds against big foot now and i plan on loading the house on him.
this is silva vs thales letites all over again
you guys are blaming the wrong person for the way the fight turned out.
trust me
youll see
