He seems pretty normal in his interviews but dude has been knocked out cold like what, 15 times? That can't be good. I've heard fighters (who took way less damage) admit having constant headaches, tend to forget a lot, etc
Did it not catch up to him yet or is he just pretending to be OK? I've always rooted for Reem but perhaps we can campaign to have him in the JRE.
 
Or do most Sherdoggers totally over exaggerate brain damage in mma?Boxing is 10X more brutal.Lots of doctors here too.
 
It's quite worrying. He has the skillset to compete at the top but his chin is pretty much done. I see a nasty skid if ko losses if he carries on

Lol yeah you're right, no harm in being ko'd 15 times. Defo not possible it could lead to CTE....
 
The 300k per fight he earns can buy a lot of ibuprofen
 
Nobody could eat that uppercut from hell from naggonu.. this time I'll say it wasn't a chin problem.. anybody would get KTFO with that shot
 
He's definitely a good actor..

CTE era really made all the new fans soft and sound REALLY stupid...
 
Maybe he's a genetic freak when it comes to resisting CTE (and also metabolizing horsemeat).

Of course it could but most of the idiots here claiming guys like Cormier won't be the same after getting tko'd once just sound retarded.As retarded as someone claiming Overeem might be "hiding" his slurred speech.

So you think in interviews he just stops slurring his words but everywhere else he's basically a potato .

Boxing may be a case of a lot more punches to the head but the much larger gloves allow a lot of the force to be dispersed.

On top of that, can you name a top 10 HW boxer that has been knocked out cold 15 times? Not likely...

Alright...i can't argue that
 
Overeem must have close to the highest number of KO losses and also close to the highest number of KO wins.

Why are you watching this sport if you are so scared of damage?

It's the entire point of the sport to inflict damage on the opponent...

Yeah terrified bro. I'm just a snowflake when it comes to these things .... but no I love a knockout but when someone has been finished by strikes 15 times, you kinda wonder when they're gonna hang 'em up
 
Chuck is acting too but in a different way. Ditto for Big Daddy.
