Overeem etc... Why the Dutch are the Dutch

[Raziel82]

In for example Belgium you would've been 160.

Yip, take 10 cm's off and 10-20 iq points.

I mean his heart and his attitude aren't really Dutch. His kickboxing style is. On the other hand in the K1 he usually plays the defensive striker. Most Dutch strikers are offensive and have a faster pace. Reem's leg kicks come close to Aerts and Daniel Ghita's. I'm not sure if you noticed, Struve really doesn't use his job properly but his leg kicks are freaking hard.

What do you mean ?

 

[IamRonin]

Didn't know they protected the pope. I thought England and Holland were at war with the catholic empire.

Reading Shogun gave me that impression anyway.

He's not Dutch... he doesn't eat horsemeat.

I think we should report this to his moeder.

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

It sounds like she wasn't very very involved with his upbringing

ive come to the conclusion that there are a lot of kickboxers that are dutch people due to the flat, open land

Genetics is a thing that one cannot change. It is just there. The Dutch have evolved on flat, open lands and therefore being tall meant a better view. Just like the Masai in Kenya who live in open spaces. On the other hand, races that live on mountains tend to be stocky and small (like the French).
.

I seriously doubt that. You won't see an adaptation in such a short timespan. However, nutrition, as you mentioned and wealth are probably the best explanations for the height ( see Jacobs & Tassenaar, 2003).

Interesting theory on Dutch racial superiority, Adolf Van Hitler.

NICE! cracked me up hahahhaa....

 

[ImPitPatPuncher]

dutch people seem not to be able to take a punch, despite being a couple inches taller than average

maybe the horse meat messes up their bone density or something

do u guys drink horse milk or cow milk?

Most Dutch fighters are true fighters.
They don't do all that weight cutting BS.

Tyrone Spong used to fight at 155 pounds and he moved all the way up to hw just to get a challenge.
Melin Manhoef can cut down to ww if he would lose muscle but he still fought at hw, lhw etc.
Badr Hari used to skinny as fuck and he went up to hw to kick ass.
Mousasi is a mw if he would cut weight, instead he fights at lhw and even wants and already has fought at hw.

Also look at the amount of fights that most kickboxers have including all the gym wars where Holland is also famous for.

 

[NikkiNeversleep]

For instance that chick on your avatar is welcome in Holland.

So I'm welcome in Holland? Awesome.

But seriously, what the heck does that even mean? You cant just transfer your genetics into another person and make that person also Dutch.

True, i remember years ago in Rotterdam Overeem was supposed to fight Yvel. Overeem had an injury hours before the fight, Manhoef was present and decided to take his place. They changed some rules to make it a more fair fight and they just fought. Yvel still won by the way, but that was showing more heart than anyone in the UFC imo.
