boy, the Japanese really know how to put on EPIC fights that feel like clash of the titans
Overeem started as a kickboxer this is NO SURPRISE🤦♂️
Dude was juiced during his kickboxing days
Juicereem for sure, but you can't take away the experience gained no pun intended lol
When mentioning his accomplishments you HAVE to mention he used roids...who knows if he could do the same without these substances: kzhead.info/sun/oqtmlNBwrX2XgIE/bejne.html
"He is so jacked,his own left hook sents him flying"🤣🤣🤣
The way he said it too😭😭
he was just short of knocking himself out with his own left hook
@@dan721 I've.... I've done that.... I've done that...... *looks down in shame at her feet* Now granted I was studying HEMA at the time and was wielding a four foot long hickory longsword waster, but it's still the second most disappointing moment of my life.
Escanor
@@wren7195this whole comment is a pause for me dawg lol
Crazy how much he’s improved since getting back on the gear.
Juicing plus training plus talent equal a muedere
@@kydzs juicing+ training+talent+steroids=a monster!
Ha Ha Ha 🙂🙂🤣
Haters gonna hate, that physique is doable without roids 🤦🏻 10-15 years of gym will do that. People who just don’t know keep talking 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah your fathers gear (strap on)
I love the way Alistair is respectful enough to know when he has won & stops, instead of continuing to belt someone for no reason like a tosser. This is a sign of a true champion.
Is that before or after he wreaks you in the nuts with a knee?
Right after he kneed you infertile though.
I met this guy twice in Croatia. He's a complete gentleman outside the ring.
I stood next to Alistair couple years ago. This man is massive! And one of the friendliest giants i have ever seen. He is a very relaxed dude
Friendly? The dude is a huge douche. The things he says about people are among some of the scummiest things ever, but it is cool you got to meet him. A great fighter.
Same, nice guy outside the spotlights! Badr hari isn’t, have met him as well.
@@danny9905 did he want to slap you cause u asked for a photo? he's the kind of dude someone told me
He's not friendly
@@kanegreene33 He is, if he's not, it must be you :-)
The bouncers: Why is there a health bar?
lmao
Why is boss music playing?
Why is it autosaving ?
Why was there just a cutscene?
Best comment by far🤣🤣🤣
The calm and composure of this monster fighter during fights is scary. ☠☠☠
He's not just a jacked MMA fighter, he trains from a prestigious kickboxing gym - Golden Glory (Hemmers Gym).
Oĥ...thats the late legends Family gym... Mr Ramon Dekkers
"So strong, he won a Japanese sumo competition with ease"...shows a 150lb Japanese guy get tossed on a popular, scripted daytime comedy program 🤣
lmao
Lol agree, also the k1 fighters were considerably smaller also
@@justinmacarrhur1924 I know right, half of these fights look like they're not even in the same weight classes. Especially bonjasky
I was thinking this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jesse9710 definetly
Owereem deffinetly drank Secret Juice "that makes you strong and jacked"
soy protein
so did badr tho
Horse Juice
8 meals a day of horse meat
@@roflswamp6 Overeem probably did it with some more conviction and over a longer period. Also Overeem just a harder worker, the juice works better if u work hard.
I feel fortunate to have seen him fight. What a warrior!
Yes, A strong muscular masculine man made to defeat any opponent. Exciting and thrilling to watch him in action
What truly makes him a champ of the champs is his self control when the opponent is down
No, it's the gear. Lmao
I’m glad Overeem knocked him out for those cheap shots
Such a coincidence. I just started muay thai and learned that my coach was part of Overeem's training crew and now this video came up and I see my coach in the ring celebrating. So inspiring! Thanks for the great video.
awesome coach!
I correct myself. It's not my coach in the video (similar looks). He coached Alistair in UFC. Still awesome though.
You will be the next overeem
watch your drinks get spiked :-)
@@shirosplash7470 oui oui oui
The strength is one thing.. but like Rogan said.. the accuracy is everything
Hmm, I think the doping (horse meat) is a downer.
Always loved watching his fights. He had a lot to improve on still. I could tell he was comfortable standing up and striking. But i could also tell his toolbox was limited. Would have been awesome to see him master the submissions.
What are you talking about? He made a new stance in fighting!
@@barrymantz6026 I'm a black belt in MCMAP (Marine Martial Arts Program). I was an instructor, I coached fighters when I got out, and I can't help but to see opportunities get wasted while watching fights. It's not a big deal brother... I'm just saying Alistair had extremely good awareness in his center of balance and body position. He was a good striker, and the power was something. He had ease in take downs and controlling his opponents. But he lacked counters, and his submissions were limited. I would have loved to see him master BJJ, since that's all that he really lacked. He was a wrestler and did kick boxing. Two excellent disciplines to have in MMA. The final skill (BJJ) wraps it all up to be the ideal fighter. I'm not dissing him, just stating my opinion.
Awesome documentary, brother. Thank you
He was a famous Dutch kickboxer way before he went into MMA. Ubereem was a beast!
Yes, but Overeem is better…
He isnt Dutch
Dude has dual citizenship between Holland and Britain but was born in England bud, has lived most of his life in Holland though and I believe when fighting it’s under a Dutch Flag (haven’t seen all his fights so happy to be corrected) so I don’t see a problem with what you’ve said.
@@user-et7gc9bl8zyes he is, dual citizenship/nationality between Holland and Britain, born in England yes, however I believe most people assume just Dutch because he fights under a Dutch flag as far as I’ve seen.
@@user-et7gc9bl8z Lol did you see him eating in that living room and how his mom looks? Did you hear his atrocious English accent? He's as dutch as they come!
I love how he doesnt hit anymore when he knows the opponent is out cold
yeah love that too
Sportsmanship
@@heavystarch100 its confidence too. He knows theyre not going back up
High level self control, most fighters know they don't need to hit them once they are out already, but they don't have real control.
He seems to not fight with emotions. That's why he just stops when the job is done. I can't remember that he ever saw his opponents as "enemies", like some fighters do, but only as opponents in a sports competition.
Beast, respect for all of you fighters putting up a great show
In the 90's and 2000's, K1 and K1 Max were the best fighting events in the world imo, I remember fights between Aerts, Hoost, LeBanner, Badr, Mirko, Schilt, etc... and then Buakaw, Souwer, Masato, Kraus, etc... So bad they stopped K1 ;(
Yes indeed and i miss those days. Glory should give other ( younger) fighters a change to make it more intresting.
You left out bonjasky. Interesting.
@@benningsniper9516 he didn't, Bonjasky is right under the etc... chapter.
this man never once ran away from any challenges in front of him. He has the warrior mentality! what a machine 👏
Flew away from USADA though
@@Miiiiiiighty ghagahagaha underated
He's a warrior but Francis killed him
He never run away from PEDs either.
He never ran away from any steroids in front of him either, he took all the gear.
This is a perfect example of will and intent. He made a choice and he stuck with it. The absolute focus. You can watch his gaze shift in the slow-mo to each point he's about to strike and then he just does it. No hesitation, no flinch when he takes a hit. The man is a tank. I'm not a "fan" of fighting sports, I have nothing against it either. I know nothing about it really. I'm a small-arms weapon instructor. But, damn, this guy. If he did shooting competitions, I almost guarantee he'd be great at it for the same reason he dominates this, will and focus.
I liked the way he would adjust his opponent's head right after a strike, so that it was right where he wanted it for the knockout punch 🤙
When he beat those titans, he was in his prime, and on peds, and on roids, and whatever. But everyone was. And he's a wonderful person, fighter, athlete.... He's a legend, and many of us will always root for The Reem.
yes this is true
How do u know he s a wonderful person? He s known to injure training partners in the gym, Andrei Arlovski was one of them and hated his guts
@@austinsavage Maybe he has a crush ahah.
Everyone was on some form of ped sure, but I don't think anyone else was as blatant as he was. You can't tell me you think aerts was taking the same shit.
Nope the next fight between Badr and Alistar badr was also using roids and much bigger then the last fight and he beat Alistars ass.
I love the fact that in most of his fight, he doesn't continue hitting once the opponent is down which is something many MMA fighters do. I guess he knows how dangerous he is...
Because according to rules of kick boxing hitting downed opponent is not allowed
@@WR-NC-ASPL yet others still do it. Shame
@@stevenkapenda4443 .. this is kick boxing competition. In kick boxing competition, you will be disqualified if you hit or kick a downed opponent. That is why Alistair is not hitting downed opponent. But, according to MMA UFC rules, in MMA UFC competitions, you are allowed to hit or kick a downed opponent. But, cannot kick on the head of a downed opponent. Hitting on the head of downed opponent is allowed in MMA UFC. So, in MMA UFC Pride k1 competitions, we can see Alistair is hitting downed opponents.
except he does
it's just against the rules in KB
Other fighters: "It's not about strength, it's about technique." Alistair: "Yeah, you keep telling yourself that."
He has both
@@abaddon4823 excatly, while the other have none, they all were depended on their size and nothing else. it just that others are so bad.
@@syedmurtaza8106 Plenty of them just weren't on as much juice as overeem, whic hgave him insane power.
@@josephbolt6203 excatly, all i see him is using 2 to 5 pattern yet most of them were not able to beat him, they were weak mentally and physically. I tell you, i never liked mma and ofc, they are kinda fake like wrestling, 2 guys in underwear fighting and if even one get a cut the fight is over, the ground is soft and man the street fighters are the real deal according to me, they know how to fight someone stronger, faster, with weapon, or multiple opponents and he know nothing of them, like who could be stronger or immune to pain due to drugs or presistant and even the psychopaths who will go any mean from faking a defeat to take all the beat in order to stab u in one particular area to which will lead to death. This is the reason why these mma ufc fighters army commando's never do street fighting, they all just can fight on equal terms.
I was not aware of Alistair until he fought in UFC. He is definitely a bad man! Thanks for the video.
what a legend ! i was too young to see these fights in K-1 in real time but we can see he was the best in his prime. its nice to see him with the huge trophy, you can feel the pride in his eyes.
yes love it!
Not true! I watch all this in real time and in k1 this guy ain't shit. Believe me!!!
@@milanbelovukovic8252 I wouldn't stretch it as far as "ain't shit" however like I've pointed out he certainly doesn't have much actual "skill" when it comes to striking itself he's pretty garbage 🗑️ there's other aspects of fighting that he is fairly decent with but it's certainly not striking.
And the juice and horse meat flowing through his veins..No pride when you are a cheater!
He wasn't the best in his prime, badir and others were
Thanks a lot, one of my fav champions. Strange this nostalgia of K1 still very strong. Loved his first fight against badr.
they really were the best events!
I met him once in Osaka. He's a gentle giant.
I was at the Stipe fight in Cleveland. That’s probably my favorite fight of his
If he had gotten the UFC belt he could have been one of the combat sport GOATs.
i was really rooting for him this whole time
When Brock met the ubereem's eyes before getting into the cage and then lost his mojo, that was awesome.
Overeem IS one of the combat sport GOATs. Look what he has accomplished
@@rob8528 For sure, him and Jones are the biggest legend killers we've ever seen. No Dagestani blanket even get close
He still is one of combat sports' GOATs. Not THE absolute GOAT obviously, but one of. No other fighter in history has simultaneously held titles in two prestigious MMA promotions (Strikeforce and DREAM) and the top world kickboxing promotion at the time (K-1 World GP) AND been an ADCC European Champion. Not to mention, remain a Top 10 heavyweight contender in UFC for as long as he did. Now he's made a successful return to kickboxing against his arch-rival, who is one of the GOAT HW kickboxing legends? Granted, Badr is way past his prime, but so is Reem! Reem is definitely one of the GOATs in combat sports history.
This was both a funny and awesome tribute
thank you
The horse meat bit made me smile, I could just imagine you tryng to keep a straight face while saying it.
@@zGJungle hahaha
@@zGJungle a stalion eating horse meat is kinda ironic :-)
I find he is one of the coolest looking fighters in MMA. He almost looks like some kind of superhero lol. His face is so recognizable.

This guy is a beast! However, the best thing about him is that he doesn't throw that extra punch ....he does just enough to win and then stops.....that's respect and principles. Gotta love this guy! I wish I had a friend like him back in the day when we used to get into fights with skinheads...:D
Perfect …. That fight vs Tyrone showed me something I cannot describe in words thanks to you. Thank you.

Overeem's 2009-2011 reign of terror is my favorite time in mma history. i was there watching history being made and really don't think that it will be duplicated any time soon. this is a great video and you're a real G for making it
Whether it will be repeated depends largely on how Steroids will be handled in UFC going forward...

He has fought professionally for more than HALF his life. Absolute legend, the best who never got the UFC Championship, wish he could have added it to his collection
Yeah it's a shame the ufc tests for banned substances. Smh
He is dutch, just like that dutch national football team.. It's a tradition. being the best one that never won one..

He had to Tren more. Anavar give up!

I would have loved to see Fedor vs Brock and Fedor vs Ubereem back in their respective peaks.
I would've given Overeem vs Fedor to Fedor in that case, but I don't think it would have been all that easy, though Fedor's grappling was and is in a higher dimension than Alistair.
Now we need to bring Ngannou to K1 and rematch the Reem and fight any kickboxer who wants a piece of him.
@@jovanleon7 ubereem easily kills ngannou in a kickboxing match, mma prob too but idk ngannous power is different in mma
woulve been great!
@@craigborth8047 lmao my child. Ngannou already sent the Reem to the shadow realm once you ignorant boy.
I found something from his personality is - he is honest in profession and not dangerous not harmfull like others . He performed honesty even after winning or ever after loosing
Very definition of the term "Glass Cannon"
I Started to laugh when you said bonjaski has balls of steel and then showed that pick . Nice work
He started kickboxong at Carbin gym in Holland. If you see his early fights he is even wearing kickboxing shorts. He is a kickboxer who transfered to mma.
ah joh wat weten die buitelanders nou
what kind of "kickboxer" has 2-2 record with 40+ mma fights?
@@LawrenceKenshin It would be like saying Bas Rutten isn't a boxer, kickboxer, or any other sport he participated in. How do you even categorize these things? only on professional fights?
@@mauritsvanoranje6725 this guy gets it Mixed Martial Arts. I mean it's kind of in the name isn't it? of course now-a-days you can go to a gym and train "mma" but back when Alistair first started training there was no such thing. he started training and fighting kickboxing and from there he went into MMA. saying he wasn't a kickboxer at the time just because he was focusing on MMA matches is kind of silly. IMO he's just both but I guess if you wanna be real technical about it he was a kickboxer first. (as in that's what he started to train and compete in)
Alistair Overeem has a specific game plan in his Kickboxing fights that works. He walks forward most of the fight with a high, tight guard, putting pressure on, and tires out his more skilled Kickboxing opponents, and than lands hard shots to put them down. The latest Badr Hari fight was a perfect example. Also past fights like the Spong or Ben Edwards fights are perfect examples. Hari and Spong were outstriking Overeem the first 2 rounds, and than eventually began tiring as Overeem kept pressing forwarding, while blocking their punches with his high guard, and than picked his spots to get his power shots through the wanning defense of his tiring opponents. He also benefits very well from the padding boxing gloves for his high guard as he walks forward.
Well that and the 30 inch arms are pretty useful for covering up with lol. I personally still think his actual striking technique etc is utter garbage 🗑️ but he's obviously very strong, got good defense for a big guy and can take some real good hits.
@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812 His arms are big but not even 20 inch. I think his striking could be a problem against Rico for example, who has more stamina. Overeem cannot keep striking for 5 rounds straight.
High guard is seriously underrated Look at how it was used even in boxing to help defeat Canelo
@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812 how is his striking garbage? Personally i think he used his reach, size and experience well, but otherwise TBH his striking is nothing special either in K-1 or MMA except for his knees and occasional speedy right cross. U cant win so many belts being a ‘garbage striker’ though
@@austinsavage as a heavyweight you will because they are all garbage skill wise when it comes to striking. That's just biology and physics lol
That Mortal Kombat left hook Francis Ngannou caught him with is LEGENDARY!
Scary how such a huge guy can be at the same time so agile and mobile. OVEReem ! 🐴
he was actually super technical
@@LawrenceKenshin and gay
That s coz he was a lightheavyweight fighter who beefed up to heavyweight; took his agility and skill to a heavier weight class but not the chin unfortunately
OVERgay ! 🐎
@@LawrenceKenshin Not even remotely so. He relies on strength and to overpower his opponents exactly because he isn't technical and he was notoriously known for his glass chin. That's why his team changed his kickboxing style to more simple but powerful combinations, so he doesn't get caught in a counter attack. Bas Rutten had a perfect dissection of his style and mistakes.

The good Ole dayz of learning about all kinds of fighting across the world.
Alas, no fighter is invincible. Alistair Overeem lost against Alexander Volkov at UFC Vegas #18 in Feb. 2021, and was cut from the UFC. But he was also 41 years old by that time, which was probably a big factor in both.
Ubereem you need had to be there this make me wanna go back and watch his fights when he fought in Dream K1 and Strikeforce right before he got to the UF
such great times
He is a kickboxer from the beginning, not an MMA fighter becoming a kickboxer. Great fighter.
Omg THE Übereem is back! Good times :)
he was on the Costa juice back in the day lets be real lol still an absolute legend
He's back on it in Glory.
everyone was allowed trt back then
“Lock up your horses, the Reem is in the house.”
hahaha
Broo I thought u made this up and then I heard the fkn COMMENTATOR said this and I lost my shit hahaha
0:37 "He's so jacked that his own left hook sends himself flying." lol
A bodybuilder in the ring that can actually fight. He reminded me of Biscuit Oliva in Baki.
That face kick was FKN LEGENDARY 😆😆
Always had trouble with technical strikers that weren't years past their prime. Or even sometimes some that were. Bonjasky could counterstrike and it turned their fight into a snooze fest in which Reem resorted to throws out of frustration because he was getting picked apart coming in. He's always been top tier, but never quite "the guy", because his chin and inability to adapt have held him back.
I first sae him against lesnar and this was already late. I was blasted by his style and physique.
He is not only the Reem he is an indestructable machine who is a legend and achieved his dream
He is a Dutch Viking!
The most technical heavyweight striker without a doubt!
Not anymore
Ngnaanou has fucked him
Well that's a disappointment lol. He's got pretty good defense but as far as his technique and skill, those are pretty garbage honestly. Now yes he's alot more talented than he should be at his size, butt that's really not saying a whole lot tbh. Big guys aren't known for skill lol
And not nearly as technical as Mike Tyson js(and I'm not even a big Tyson fan btw) I like him alot personally for who he is, but was never really a "fan" of his career. But one thing about Tyson most overlook is that his actual skill and technique far outweighs his massive size . Most just talk about him being big and strong, which of course he is, but he was a very technical fighter, certainly the most technical heavyweight in combat sports
Ever heard of and watched any of Ciryl Gane's fights?
Well we all must admit he is a legend! And he has his place between legends already WON! 👏!
That Overeem's stare at 3:42... you're literally facing a true lethal human weapon
did not shit my self,but i farted 😁🤣
In his prime ... a true monster.
agreed
He was full of P.e.ds
Also full of roids
@@matthieusaade3616 Like many of his opponents
@@xftbllplyr2091 Yeah but Overeem took it to the extreme. There are great pictures documenting how big he got and how fast it happen. And the decline in his physique when USADA started testing people in the UFC.
Hands down, Lawrence Kenshin does the best striking "breakdowns" in the business. Your history of non-biased "good reads" is phenomenal and refreshing! I've listened for decades disgusted as ringside commentary clings hopefully for the wrong warrior, total lack of respect, even calling brilliant strategy as "just got lucky". Poor sportsmanship inside and outside the ring... cheap and low brow! Look how many times Overeem pulled or stopped blows knowing the fight was over even before the referee reacted... a true champion and gentlemen!
thanks so much for the support!
It doesn't bother you that he keeps calling random left hooks, superman punches?
He was a real beast of MMA before.. but the UFC is so stacked with younger and talented fighters.
The size put on by the Badr guy really surprised the fuck outta me when he popped on the screen again XD
I wish we could have Uberreem back because seeing his technical striking decline so badly in his last few years in the UFC was depressing
what's depressing is his grappling ability gave him much bigger gap over most ufc fighters than his striking did. Unfortunatelly just like George Gurgel he pushed with his striking and that's not a good idea all the time.
@@hagestad Yeah, his striking was fine, but in his later years his chin wasn't. He got a glass chin his last couple of years of fighting and shoulda just grappled
Makes u wonder why the those 5 bouncers he just hospitalized even tried to fight him? 😱

“He’s so jacked his own left hook sends him flying” 😂 what a weird take on swinging wildly, missing badly and being off balance 😂
Alistair was possibly the reason K-1 actually banned clinch strikes, that says a lot about his power
They was banned before he fought in k1. Could only place your hands on side of head but not hold. Was a bit blurry but officially in k1 no clinching

was buakaw mate

You shouldn't
@@Ashina12393 correct, he should'nt "feel" one way or another about facts =/
Overeem is mainly seen as this monster striker (which he is), but many forget that he's actually a true MMA fighter having besides 25 KOs also 17 submission wins. When he locked up that guillotine, it was basically a wrap (probably has more guillotine wins than anyone from Team Alpha Male). He's way more well-rounded than most of MMA's HWs.
yes he was definitely an mma fighter. the term kickboxer for him only came about after his historic win in k-1
I almost thought he was going to robbed in that fight. That ref was despicable in the Badr fight this weekend.
I didn't time it but the first count was started way too late it seems.
it was a good fight brotha
Quelle athlète 😮❤
I am a big fan of Overeem. I am always amazed at how well he could just move in on fighters to deliver strikes while avoiding being hit himself. I really loved his fight against Brock Lesnar and watch it a few times per year. I was really disappointed when he did not obtain the UFC title, but he is still a great one.
You should meet him! So arrogant and rude! Thinks he’s all that
Well we all know the hatred of horse meat in the UFC. Pure food related specism.
as a child, I was surprised at what strength Overim has! He's already a k-1 legend
super strength
As an adult, you now know steroids are a thing... ^^
@@mcbrite steroids? what are steroids? the Ubereem only eats raw horse meat man, don't be spreading fake news XD
Slowly with accuracy this guy went for the kill every time
Want to see the sauced up modern kickboxing Overeem vs Ngannou
The best heavyweight that never won a UFC title.
its true..
I love that he won his last fight against Badr Hari. It was a win for MMA in a way.
100% right
Seriously 😂
It surprised me that Bad Badr did not find another excuse not to fight and showed up :-)
Alistair is a noble and brave fighter, one who doesn't take advantage of a downed opponent. My favourite fight was the one where he defeated Badr.
This is one dude you wanted on the gear. His fights back in the day were awesome to see.... Well for me anyway.. not necessarily his opponents.
3:04 This right here is the coldest hit I've seen in a very long time,he made direct eye contact instantly paralysing his opponent who probably was anticipating a left or right hand . The victim awaited punch but failed to see the lethal kick rising from the deepest darkest parts of hell and just like that with no punch thrown,he gave him a taste of his foot,literally....that is savage!
