Alistair Overeem: "Hunt is without a doubt the strongest opponent I've ever faced"

[LATEXXX COMMANDO]

Do you think Hunt is stronger than Lesnar and if so does it surprise you? That's a pretty bold thing to say; not only is he the strongest but without a doubt the strongest.

Doesn't surprise me, dude had the biggest lower body in the business, guy's base and core strength must be off the charts.

No matter what happens from now on, it is very safe to say that Hunt will go down in history as one tough, strong, badass motherfucker. Those are probably the biggest compliments a fighter could ever get.

Samoan Strength is no joke. They are insane strong people.

 

[Final Say]

Guys ankles has the same girth as his thighs. Built like a tree

 

[GODZILLA213]

Overeem has faced 3 men who people credit as extremely strong, so this has some real merit. The other one is Mirko Filipovic in case anyone was wondering.

what the fuck are you doing with a yellow card man.

 

[Thesnake101]

That fight was when he was Undereem, not Ubereem, so you can't say that Hunt is stronger than Lesnar or vice-versa because of that.

Still, Hunt is going to leave a bloodied and battered Lesnar on the ground at 200.

 

[TheHermit]

he lies. it's USADA. is. was. will be.

Samoan children are born with old man strength. Once old enough, they develop the Strength of the Ancients. I saw a special on Discovery.

RIP Brawk

i don't remember a long fight, but hunt sort of threw him down with force, went into his guard, and then got subbed. tbh, it was a disappointing fight, because hunt came back to MMA after PRIDE died, was like a fattened pig, and only fought for a minute or so. overeem was just starting to bulk up, too, so he wasn't some giant force either.

 

[blewgums]

To me, it's a pick 'em fight. 'Cause wrestling.

I think Hunt is a better fighter, and I'm rooting for him.

But damn.... I got this one a toss up. If I had to bet, I'm 51% thinking Lesnar wins.

I had 2 samoan friends in high school that used to drive a red ford Fiesta. They would drive it into ditches and pull it out by hand just for the exercise.

They were gigantic guys. Both went on to be linemen for division 1 schools

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Hunt is very very strong for sure, I remember Soa Palelei saying that Hunt could bench a lot more weight than he could.. and Soa was a very strong and athletic guy and known to lift huge amounts of weight.

 

[Conor McTouchbutt]

As everyone stated, Samoan strength is off the charts. These guys are probably the most naturally gifted athletes

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

60/40 Lesnar I think. Either guy can win and I wouldn't bet on it. I think Lesnar is going to be considerably stronger and out muscle Hunt due to his athleticism and explosiveness. But I have been wrong before.

 

[Strange Shadows]

i knew two somoan guys in college; they used to listen to the band 'boston' over and over. not sure if relevant or not. we had to sabotage their stereo in order to stop the madness.

 

[Yari]

Did Lesnar even get a chance to showcase his power against Overeem?

I could see that getting annoying but at least they had good taste.

Crazy to think that it wasn't long ago that he was an ice addict who was addicted to the pokies (slot machines for you Americans).. War hunt!
