UFC did Overeem dirty in the new promo video for UFC 220

[YellowBanenoo]

Why did they have to do this to him.

Lmfao

It's the risk you take as a veteran in that position. They give you a huge paycheck because of all the years you've given them, you're even ranked as one of the top contenders still. But you're up against a new guy who they are trying to build up. You'll get the money either way but will be pissed on if you're turned into a highlight reel. Alistair is not bitching about it with that salary.

 

[21 Savage]

Ngannou clearly tapped

 

[giusti825]

It was a bit unnecessary....

 

[Ramon Antonio]

Still not as bad as Shadface but definitely up there.

 

[Number 8]

I felt the nap.

 

[TheViking]

wow.. they wouildn't do that to everyone that's for sure

 

[ithinktheymad]

No respect.

 

[Summoning]

We need another shop thread.

That death face

Say what you want about Overeem, the guy has suffered brutal loss after brutal loss but the heart and character to re-set and get back on the horse ( no pun intended) is incredible. It may be foolish on his heart to continue, but you have to respect the man and I don't think people give the man anywhere near the credit he so richly deserves.

No it was 100% awesome and I'm glad they didn' listen to PC bullshit. They are selling Francis as the war machine he is. They need to show the devistation he' left behind. And showing a popular fighter dead is perfect to bring out emotion. Worked perfectly.

 

[DarkneT]

Gotta build up the homeless guy as much as possible

 

[Hairrow]

Would love to see Dana's head hitting the canvas like that.

Its classless.

Showing the finish is fine.....the finished fighter had his faculties about him up to that point.....but there is something exploitative and disgustingly opportunistic about filming an unconcious man close up for minutes looking for promo material....

Its slimy....

 

[PivotPunch]

Visually the promo is really cool. But the fucking voice over.....why? It just makes it look like one of the early UFC promos with face the pain and whatever in the background. It's just cheesy. No voiceover just music is 100 time sbetter. Cool concept but the video is a bigger underachiever than Randleman with sucha cool concept

 

[Al3s]

I guess this is me now

Not sure what you guys are crying about

Overeem is one of the most cocky guys out there and angered Francis on purpose with all that age/birth certificate thing
