What is happeneing when he throws a punch?
I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking but He seems to not follow through with his hooks much these days. The punches often seem to just bounce off his opponents
I mean he has no snap
They are like push-punches
Its strange because he used to be technical clean..
Yes, if he planted his feet and threw heavy shots Rozenstruik would have just ate it and countered at some point. If Reem still had a decent chin he could have been UFC champion at some point.He has the most mileage of all fighters right now in the UFC. The levels of training / fighting in his life is more than the absolute majority of MMA fighters ever reach.
Overeem has fought since 17 and never stopped while stepping upagainst world class opponents at a very young age. Overeem in fight years is a very very old man.
His technical skill is fine as hell. The best overall skillset in MMA, but he cant implement it anymore in a fight.
He throws what works for him. Your body isn't the same as everyone's, and you can see how big his arms are now still for his diminished body. He used to throw a lot of hooks and have "better" striking technique wise when he was on the roids, because his body was tight enough to throw them fast enough. Right now his straights work better and his hooks are labored and putting him into very dangerous situations, so he avoid throwing them.I mean he has no snap
