Overeem on who the hardest puncher he ever faced in the octagon was

[StonedLemur]

Even worse, I picked Reem to win and was so hyped for the fight.

Ouch lol

 

[Mammothman]

Was one of the few times my jaw legitimately dropped watching mma. Thought Reem fucking died lmao

For sure, really fucking scary, similar when Hendo elbow'd the fuck out of Lombard, crowd went quiet both times.

 

[ineverpost]

understandable considering this guy dropped Tyson Fury with boxing gloves on

 

[moongaze]

Respect to Alistair for still fighting after a knockout like that.

 

[don't ask]

the fact that francis hit him with a follow-up shot on the ground after that punch is one of the funniest things that has ever happened in any sport, ever

lol it's like a hunter shooting a deer and then pistol-whipping the corpse a few times.

 

[The Boomerang]

Ferd escorts don’t count

 

[Human Bass]

Yeah, that upper gave his throat a good stretch.

 

[lenbiasgoat]

Never forget that lip that rozenstruik gave em

 

[PhilMcCavity]

Took a shot in the mouth like the corpse he was lol

lol what?

 

[StonedLemur]

lol what?

Sounded funnier in my mind lol

 

[KarateYeah]

Hard if true

 

[AmonTobin]

Probably still has flashbacks of being a Pez dispenser

 

[PhilMcCavity]

Sounded funnier in my mind lol

Oh no it was funny

 

[StonedLemur]

Oh no it was funny

Well, I guess I accomplished my goal sir lol.

Its crazy when you put in perspective how many big hitters Reem fought across his career. Ngannou, Pav, Hunt, JDS, Stipe, Big Country, Rozenstruik, Igor, Chuck, Vitor, Goodridge, Rogers etc. THEN add in his K-1 career too.

 

[Fergelmince]

No one on earth needed to hear him confirm this.

 

[mkt]

As much as I'd like to believe him, Overeem never fought Don Frye and would've fought an old, washed-up version if he did.

 

[NewLockGuy]

I actually give him credit for stating the obvious.

Fighters often engage in weird bullshit for questions like this. There's some urge for them to either protect their ego or go all hipster and pretend they're more clever than everyone else by picking an obscure name.

'Ackshually, Aleksei Oleinik punched a lot harder than Ngannou' type of nonsense.

The most common one is guys claiming that their 'toughest fight' was against some guy they smoked rather than a guy they lost to.

Like Floyd Mayweather claiming 38-34 Emmanuel Augustus was his toughest fight - most people gave Floyd every round before he TKOd him - and not any of the guys that arguably beat him.

Ackshually, Augustus gave Floyd a bloody nose...

Just imagine what Francis would do to Jones.

Same thing Shogun, Rampage, DC and Gane was supposed to do




Pray for a lucky punch
