Throwback PRIDE - Chuck Liddell Vs Young Meth Reem

[Ludwig von Mises]

Why is getting rocked in the opening seconds being outclassed and not getting knocked out in less than half a round?

Both can be true. Chuck out classed Reem as well in his own way. It was a great scrap.

Reems cardio is so bad

 

[HerpDerp]

Meth Reem?

I love it.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

I think it's safe to add METH REEM in the elite group of Sherdog relics like HALLWAY MIR and SEA LEVEL CAIN.

Reem always snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[ChosenOne]

Reem is best when he is overwhelming and bullying in his fights. He is not so great when his opponent giving as good as he gets and then it comes down to who will take more to win.

 

[StonedLemur]

Chuck's overhand right is so deceptivley fast.

Reem was clearly already rocked from the earlier punch and didnt really defend himself very well there.

That tournament was pretty awesome tbh.

Great win for Liddell…

People will say that Overeem at 205 was a lesser version of himself, but he was still a very good fighter…

Dominated most of the competition Pride FC put in front of him, including the likes of Belfort and Vovchanchyn, and only lost to the very best fighters at 205 (Noguiera, Rua, Arona, Liddell)…

 

[Deceasedxo]

Reem was beating the shit out of Chuck. If he had cardio back in those days, I think he would've been an easy top 5 LHW.

In retrospect, this was a very high level win for Chuck. Knocked out an elite striker on the feet.





Bonus -

He was winning until he lost.

Yeah, he was definitely a solid fighter at 205 for sure.
Most people that talk shit never seen him fight at 205 sir.

"oh, so you're a wrestler now"

Seriously, has anyone made Chuck turn to panic wrestling faster than Reem?

If Reem didn't have the weakest chin in MMA this would have been a long night for Chuck.

Great fight. Reem opening with dat knee was great. Then he hurt chuck and was just levels above in skill. Then Chuck proceeded to get carcasses by Rampage iirc.

 

[surgeyou1]

I don't think anyone's chin has gone from iron to glass more dramatically than Chuck's.
