    Thanks for the interviews, I was hoping for some post fight coverage of this card. Alistair is an interesting interview, I hope to hear him on The MMA Hour.

    I'm so proud :) Our dutchies are doing great!
    Many top contenders already in kickboxing for K1, It's Showtime etc.
    Now with Overeem and co. slowly infeltrating the mma business. Awesome :)
    Both cool dudes.

    I love it when Overeem just shakes his head, not even saying a word when Ariel asks if he hurt him.

    lol that is why I love this guy he is just so Calm and Humble, been a fan of his since PRIDE, it is a little weird to see him as a heavyweight considering how skinny he was while he was in PRIDE but he is a BEAST NO DOUBT!

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @stanburdman Fedor is a great fighter but he has never fought someone the caliber of Alistair Overeem. Overeem is a K-1 level striker with ADCC level grappling and 250+ pounds of solid muscle. He has knockout power in both hands and knees. And would have the advantage almost anywhere the fight takes place. Fedor will have his hands full with Overeem. People underestimate Overeem because of his LHW losses but he is a different fighter now. He's realizing his potential.

  • @rfc2031
    @rfc2031 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    i agree i think overeem is one of the very best hw, only ppl who's gona test him is jds or cain maybe carwin and fedor thats it, thats the fights we wana c

  • @exitusnow
    @exitusnow 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    man if the fight happens i hope so much alistair takes it, i rly want him to be the new biggest and best heavy weight of all time. (after fedor he jumps in ufc btw :3 )

  • @theMAXILOPEZpsycho
    @theMAXILOPEZpsycho 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @CheesyTater or fights fedor, big foot, werdum, or barnett in strickforce?? Surely the strikeforce heavyweight division is just as stacked as the ufc's at the moment. Especially with Mir and lesner looking like they don't have much more in the tank

  • @chinaman1023
    @chinaman1023 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @PrimeOne18
    His striking is far from flawless, he doesn't really use head movement and just covers up. With MMA gloves shots will get through, he also doesn't really throw punches in bunches, and lunges a lil to much with his knees.
    With that said he has a fantastic skill set, i'd like to see him against some good fighters.

  • @comiclander
    @comiclander 14 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fedor vs The Reem will be the most high level fight that's possible right now. I don't think there is any other fight out there that could be as good. They have to make it happen.

  • @kingpinofcrime
    @kingpinofcrime 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice to see Overeem doesnt disrespect Fedor , that should be a great fight . I Still think Fedor will pull it off in some way but Overeem has a bigger chance than anyone ( Including Brock whos standup is so so ) .

  • @Deej1188
    @Deej1188 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @phrek75 Right. But I'm just worried because Fedor had Rogers on his back, did a jumping punch, and Rogers eventually got up. After Overeem flipped Rogers and put him down, he was pretty much in the fetal position for the rest of the fight.
    In no way can anyone say Alistair's GnP is better than Fedor's. But that was a pretty nasty beatdown...

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @stanburdman What I am arguing is that Overeem is a legit threat to Fedor not that he is the favorite. Overeem's kickboxing credentials are relevant to this discussion. He is the superior striker, hence K-1 level striking. Overeem won't be easy to take to the ground. He has very good takedown defense and incredible strength. As for his chin that is the one area I'd be concerned with for Overeem. Yes if Fedor lands a bomb or GNPs him it could be over. But Overeem can do the same to him.

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @stanburdman What in the world are you talking about? I'm talking about K-1 Kickboxing where Overeem has wins over Badr Hari, Peter Aerts and Ewerton Teixeira not K-1 MMA. Again Overeem is a different fighter since he moved to HW. In most of his LHW losses he was winning until he gassed due to cutting so much weight. He doesn't have that problem anymore and besides, there's no shame in losing to guys like Chuck Liddell and Shogun.

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @stanburdman Arvolski was outstriking Fedor until he went for that flying knee. Fedor took Schilt to the ground he didn't strike with him. Rogers is a brawler, few thought he could outstrike Fedor despite busting up his nose. Fedor has never fought anyone with the combination of size and skill of Overeem. If Overeem gets Fedor on his back he could be in trouble. Even Rogers did some damage with his GNP.

  • @llIIIIlllIIIllI
    @llIIIIlllIIIllI 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @TheNZNick i would love to see that fight... two of my favorite fighters. i would love to see fedor or overeem stomp on lesnars face but that would be for my own gratification. a fight between overeem and fedor would a great fight from a passionate mma fan perspective.

  • @jeajea
    @jeajea 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    AO seems like a nice humbled guy with a sense of humor. i thought he was a snob for the longest time.

  • @SinisterSkip
    @SinisterSkip 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    But to make something clear: I'm not saying Alistair Overeem is a bad fighter, he's awesome and even without drugs in another weight class he'll probably do great because mma is much more than muscle.
    But:
    Overeem - 11/2007 224lbs
    Overeem - 05/2010 253lbs
    While you're
    - already in mid 20's or later
    - already have gained so many pounds from just working out, bringing you closer to your natural max
    that's extremely hard to do with just legal stuff

  • @Deej1188
    @Deej1188 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @PizzaHero92 I didn't forget. I was just scared by how easily Overeem threw him down on his back and never let him up again. The GnP and control looked better than Fedor in his Pride days....

  • @omgstoptakingnames
    @omgstoptakingnames 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @CheesyTater dude guys like mir and lesnar aren't gonna test him, maybe carwin until it gets to round 2, the only fights for him in the ufc is jds or cain.

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @StrangeDeimos I havent heard Fedor say that, if he has then maybe it was way back before Reem became such a beast. If Fedor said it recently then i would agree he is probably trying to hide something. Reem is definitely a beast.

  • @Judgement220
    @Judgement220 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Champ is Back!!, Overeem Out-classed Brett Rogers, It will be very interesting how fedor would fight Overeem. No way Fedor would fight Overeem on the standup, he would try to put this fight on the floor like Rogers was supposed to do in this one. Very interesting fight.

  • @CheesyTater
    @CheesyTater 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like Alistair, i really do but the fact is that he hasn't had a real challenge in MMA for years. We won't know how good he really is until he signs with UFC and fights guys like Carwin, Lesnar, Mir, and Velasquez

  • @kr0n0s187
    @kr0n0s187 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    he seems like such as cool and chill guy. I'm a huge lesnar and Fedor fan but i would love to see him destroy both of them

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @StrangeDeimos Yeah true. The manager shouldn't say it and the fight should happen - i agree on both. Still - Managers and fighters certainly can't speak for each other and Fedor's integrity remains intact. I wonder if Fedor's management are afraid of what Reem might do to Fedor while Fedor himself isn't? Fighters often have much more faith in themselves than their management.

  • @lilhotboy247

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @vatossureno A high protein diet can increase the size of your jaw muscles. Overeem did not have to take steroids to get big. All he needed to do was eat right, take natural supplements and lift weights. People accusing him of steroids after he passed a drug test for his last MMA fight are just haters.

  • @calbo555
    @calbo555 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @keikuru1 overeem has a chin , he can take a punch and is so fast for his size , great kicks .. will be a very good fight when it happens

  • @devrobbiz
    @devrobbiz 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Overeem is a TRUE fighter, look up his records, he fights ALOT!!!

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @keikuru1 Fedor certainly can't be counted out against anyone. He's the favorite against anyone he faces. I just think Overeem would give him a tough fight.

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @stanburdman I'm honestly baffled by your K-1 comment. Are you not aware that Overeem competed in several K-1 fights last year and made it to the semi-finals of the K-1 World GP? I recommend that you actually watch the fights instead of relying on Wikipedia and Fightfinder so much. Records don't tell you the full story.

  • @steady2wheels
    @steady2wheels 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    without random and often drug testing we will never know for sure. We all know how easy it is to get around set date drug tests. but I would say from haveing trained and been around a large range of athletes that overeem does take performance enhanceing drugs

  • @Murphy4709
    @Murphy4709 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its been fun, and inspiring to see a man of Fedor's stature go and make a legacy in the heavyweight division, but it ends now. Alistair's striking is too crisp and hes too powerful to powerful to be beaten by Fedor

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @miamimouse20 I think that is what K1 is trying to avoid though. theoretically all the top kick boxers are there for that one night and they all have the potential to get into the final- just like the world cup of any given sport. It must be harder to organise though - way more injuries and down time so a regular play timetable like what the bog sports all have would be really hard to set up. Then again - maybe it wouldn't and just no-one has ever tried....

  • @Deej1188
    @Deej1188 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    The way Overeem tossed Rogers over like a kid was scary. I'm starting to think time is working against Fedor. I think Fedor would find unique ways to extinguish some of the cream of the UFC HW div but Overeem is where experience meets hormone injected horse meat muscles. I fear for the legacy.

  • @Will-Xaru
    @Will-Xaru 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @MysticNinjaJay all the more reason why I want to see the fight happen, i think when fedor fights werdum it'll be a repeat of the nogueira fight, i.e taking him down and gnp and avoiding submissions. but you never know, he might pull something out of the bag. i read he was working on some secret technique or something. fedor's apparently working with kickboxers too... wonder if he'll use kicks? lol... bring on fedor-overeem. :)

  • @bgtocak

  • @bcmvp11
    @bcmvp11 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmm, Fedor had some trouble with Brett Rogers in their fight, it took Overeem really nothing to beat him, and Overeem was probably facing a better and more prepared Brett Rogers in their fight. You never know, Overeem could end the rein of Fedor.

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @machinegunner36 It could well be. i put Shane Reem and Fedor in the top 3 with Fedor slightly better than the other two, but until they fight each other (may never happen) we won't know. The only reason i put the Reem as maybe a bit over Carwin is becasue he has more experience against top level fighters, as the Lesnar fight showed - Carwin needs more top level experience. ahd the Reem or Fedor been in there instead i think they would have had a similar first round but KO'd Lesnar ...

  • @dannydollarfan1

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheNZNick ... in the 2nd. Just because they have more exp at that level and would pace themselves better. I def agree about both the Fedor-Werdum and the Carwin-Lesnar fights though. Full respect to Werdum and Lesnar, both top class good fighters, but the better man didn't win in either of those fights.

  • @CroatianNSensationN

  • @MysticNinjaJay
    @MysticNinjaJay 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @mr3ggroll If Overeem beats Fedor and Dana White can't sign Overeem I think he will try to discredit them both by saying that Fedor is overrated and Overeem lost to Shogun and Liddell. So either way Dana is going to try to spin shit. I only care about seeing this fight as it has the potential to be a classic. There wasn't nearly as much hype for Arvolski, Sylvia or Rogers as there is for Overeem. The MMA message boards are going nuts over The Demolition Man.

  • @mischiefpwns

    @masterthue
    Look at Overeem now man. You think Werdum would have a chance against him now? Even Shogun would struggle with this size.
    Outside of the UFC Overeem is the best man to put Fedor away right now. And I think he has a massive chance of doing so.

    @ryukenshoryuken did you see brett vs fedor; brett was beating fedor like a rented mule until fedors superior striking showed up. ubereem just manhandled rogers and proved he is the man to beat. i like fedor but i do think he is outmatched.

  • @VEGETADTX
    @VEGETADTX 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Overeem, look at the Fedor site, the alleged sentence of Vadim Finkelstein(Fedor's manager) saying that you are steroid freak and all that, is a pure ridiculous RUMOR that Vadim had cleared up many times in his interviews. So neither Fedor nor his management wants to avoid you nor to insult you.
    Please check it out that is very important.

  • @kareem87said5

    @PizzaHero92 Of course I've seen Fedor/Big Nog. I wouldn't call myself an MMA fan if I hadn't. No one is better than dropping bombs from inside someone's guard than Fedor....but to say that Alistair's GnP wasn't that good this past weekend?

  • @TheNZNick
    @TheNZNick 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @IProModzZ Yeah like Brett Rogers, who is as big as Brock, more experienced, wrestles worse but hits better. And then there's Werrdum who maybe the worlds #1 BJJ, and he was meant to fight Barnett who is still a beast but it was canceled due to Barnett failing a steroids test (yes - again). Actually outside of UFC Fedor is fighting pretty consistently the best guys out there. And btw Arlovski won his last 3 UFC fights before leaving and facing Fedor. Coward is not a word you should...

    @mr3ggroll Kurt Angle can outwrestle Brock Lesnar (he did it in a real wrestling match during their WWE days), not surprising given that he is an Olympic gold medalist but I doubt he could beat Lesnar in an MMA match. Anyway Fedor is the real deal. But he's not a God. He can be beaten and I think Overeem is the man to do it,
