No.
No.
up until the bigfoot loss yes
Some people are in for a rude awakening once they hit their mid-late thirties...
That said, the guy was juiced to the gills. He looked leaner in his last fight.
I personally think his best form was between 2008-2010, where he was still fast, mobile, and had crazy power.
When he became a 165lbs monster he was also less mobile.
His fights with Le, Hunt, Vitor and Rogers were scary.
from that to this
sad, isnt it?
1 round should be enough for that tentative, faking, low output, running version of his.
rear naked.A 43 years old good for retirement Fujita. Yeah. Fedor kod him in his prime.
40 year old RomeroThe post you quote was way back in the days, about 6 or 7 years ago.
Fighters ages fast after there 30's.
Nice try.
The average 40 year old there...40 year old Romero

Fedor dropped him on his knees right before the rncrear naked.
Wand was the first guy i remember hurting Fujita... and he still was ticking when it was stopped.
The muscle didn't negate the dodgy chin/defence though, even Ubereem couldn't just bumrush a dangerous opponent and the shot Reem landed on Stipe for example could well have finished him.
Big Foot begs to differ and this is coming from someone who is a huge Reem fan.
Against this man, only prime Fedor would stand a chance.
UberReem fought reckless that's why he got tagged by Werdum in their second fight. KOed by Big Foot Silva and Browne.The Uber version had more confidence, meaning he would not be afraid to look at any incoming attacks and as you well know it's way better if you shit coming many boxing old heads will tell you that most KO shots are the ones you don't see, then we add in his constant pressure, Uber was off the charts we wouldn't let you get off so easy on him (only in K1 where ha had the big gloves) the rest in MMA he walks you down, last I would say the extra 30 lbs of size all with a much lower body fat % would have him with more power and a more solid neck to support that glass chin of his for HW standards.
There is no doubt in my mind that the Uber version would have defeated his Eco version, what backing off and trying to sniper a shot in ? all scared shitless no way 2 max 3 minutes and Uber KO's him, it's the same damn fighter only one with extra power, extra confidence, better chin (yea not by much but maybe he can eat 1 before sleep time), better pressure.
This ain't a 10 minutes fight where cardio will become an issue this affair will be handled in 2-3 minutes.
I laugh my ass off when people claim current version is the best lol.. yea sure.. why do you think Reem himself selected the monster route if he didn't think it's the best route to take, he was force after the Lesnar fight to stop it and shit his confidence was super affected by it, he then started his downfall before he finally gather himself back up cause he was loosing to clearly inferior fighters then him roids or not.

Reem is better now than he ever was. His fight IQ is better. He picks his shots carefully. He sticks to a legit gameplan.
I hear yaI met Ubereem at a fan signing 4 years ago. I was 185lbs was training in martial arts, weight trained 5 times a week in my early thirties and was in decent shape.
I took a pic with him and the size difference was just absurd. His musculature was out of this world and I felt if he hit me once, I would legit be in a coma. His fist was half the size of my head and I have big bobblehead like Tito.
Long story short, that was in my prime... Now in my late thirties I'm a weakling that gets injured all the time, but still train 3-4 times a week with better physique than the average dad bod. Old age and hitting your athletic wall sucks.
