Overeem seems like a pretty humble down to earth guy, I hope he does well in the UFC
Overeem is ****y ! JDS is humble and I hope he will Knock out overeem .
I agree..................the guy is just confident in his abilities. Just need to see him tested considering his last few fights have seemed like a walk in the park LOL
dana white should look up to the reem when it comes to blog making.
So i wonder now, what really happened to the beast that was supposed to show up inside the octagon?? Brock got his confidence smashed by Cain i think, he was really tentative. I guess he knew that he wont get the takedown when he heard Alistair trained in Xtreme couture. Brock knew that they would get The reem ready wresltlingwise.
It was actually released just before his fight happened, during the 141 event.
I always loved these documentaries, the Reem shows a human side that's not all about the glitz and glamour of being a prizefighter; while a champion and on the verge of more, he seems surprisingly down-to-earth. As he moves into the mainstream of the UFC, he will be a popular character for Dana while he incorporates his world-wide appeal.
Well Dana tried to hype Brock to the max because of his "size". Now, Dana can hype the Reem up as the king of the HW division because of his size and skills and experience.
Junior hasn't face a loss in the UFC. He lost awhile back, but he wasn't JDS at the time. Junior isn't ready to hold onto the belt because his mind isn't stable enough. Overeem has seen the face of defeat and has grown considerably as a result.
These new undefeated Champs all fall and eventually rise up and sometimes take back the gold, but other times fail and have to try again. I see the same future for JDS.
