That is one scary man.
who just loves eating horse meat.. This joke will run and run
i was impressed with alistairs performance, the other dude seemed like a brawler, but Reem was being patient, and measuring his shots very well..... the guys a monster, i can see him winning it this year....... Overeem & Semmy in the Final :) WAR REEEEM
My supplement of choice is hot pockets. Those things are filled with nasty horse meat.
Overeem has to be considered the best striker in MMA, and if you add that too his great ground game, he's going to be hard for anyone to beat
With his skills he could beat just about anyone in my opinion
the commentator is going nuts,ahhhahhah
One of the most exciting K-1 events in recent memory...
Very nice. Good display of boxing by Overoid. He didnt throw punches in flurries like Ben he took time to form a pattern and sifure out Bens throws and when Alistair threw a punch he knew it would do damage.
Why did le banner leave the ring?
Quitter!
forget the fights
those girls are just too hot
except fro Reem
the others are UFC wash-outs or wannabees
Fedor will take Overoid right out.
I'm a fellow Canberran, proud of Benny for standing toe to toe with Ubereem and coming out aggressive. that being said, i knew Alistair Overeem would be too much for him.
The announcer needs to calm the hell down. honestly. take it down a couple notches.
