Bigfoot is still a nightmare matchup for Overeem

[Dutchman101]

This is a joke, right?

 

[M3LDY]

troll thread so obvious that it discreetly baits everyone in

 

[Ludonja]

imo bigfoot is one of those few fighters that really needs the TRT in order to compete bcs of his medical condition. since trt ban he has been looking like shit, cannot beat anybody and goes down as soon as somebody hits him, at this time overeem kills him. his ability to take punishment and wait for reem to gas has brought him that win together with reems overconfidence lol

 

[CR0W]

Absolutely not. Most of the division has a solid chance against Bigfoot now, nevermind Overeem.

 

[RDUBYA]

I think he still beats Reem. He is bigger, with a longer reach and is a pressure fighter. Overeem hates fighters that are bigger than him and put a lot of pressure.

 

[Toco]

as I have said before, ban TS

his threads get worse by the day

 

[Milgrim]

As much as I loved watching Bigfoot beat down Reem, they shouldn't be anywhere near the same octagon anymore.

You make a compelling argument.

 

[orangecuse]

But he wasn't even a nightmare match-up the first time. Reem was dominating him and showing way more skill clearly for two rounds and got cocky and gassed.

LMAO where is the nightmare match-up part?

 

[ookii]

Non-TRT is several levels down from TRT foot. See the results from the first time he fought Arloski and Hunt. Then compare it with the rematches with both opponents

Bigfoot is a slow fighter in a division where any big shot can finish you, but he has size, power and reasonable combinations going for him. He could still be a lot more dangerous than his record suggests -- if his chin isn't shot.

And it might not be. Everyone thought Arlovski had turned to glass after he had that bad streak in Strikeforce (following the brutal KO by Fedor), but he proved that he was actually still pretty durable when Rumble cracked his chin literally in half and he fought on for several rounds regardless.

Sometimes you just have the bad luck of being caught on that sweet spot a few times in a row, and in the Heavyweight division the margin for error is extremely unforgiving.

Bigfoot may have just been unlucky in getting clubbed just right in back to back fights, like Arlovski -- but the sort of shots that have put him down recently suggest there may be something else going on.

He went down like he was hit with a sniper rifle each time. Like a duck Hunt, almost unfair.

 

[Fight Professor]

BF's chin is actually worse than Reem's these days

And fight IQ as well.

 

[ilfirin]

I dunno about that.

Not even a fan of his but that Struve finish is hard to watch. Doesn't even look like he get's hit

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Reem was at the height of his UberReem cockiness and Bigfoot was still on TRT. Reem also won the first round easily.

Reem got humbled and has actually improved. Bigfoot lost TRT and his chin.

 

[PreDaToRTacTiCs]

Bigfoot is the poster boy for a glass chin nowadays. Even against a notoriously chinny Overeem I wouldn't see him getting out of the first couple minutes.

 

[Rogerdraven]

Bigfoot is still big and has a lot of weight behind his punches, but physically he isn't what he once was. He can't take a punch anymore and he isn't as muscular. He performs much worse. Which makes sense as he isn't on TRT anymore.

 

[TheTimeIsNotNow]

huh

just lost my shit lmao

No he doesnt need it. He was abusing it and he also tested positive for Boldenone in the past.

 

[NoneChuck]

No hes not

I think the Hunt KO is worse. Struve lands on him reasonably clean while he's lunging forwards, while Hunt's punch just scuds over the top of his forehead while he's ducking out of the way.
