Its so insane how up and down Overeems career has been. He has peerless cage experience, also plied his trade in many rings, having held kickboxing titles while also being a MMA champion.

In 2011 he had this fighting vlog called "The Reem" that followed him during fight week etc, he was at the height of his powers and fame.( was on a 11 fight winning streak)

Then all the sudden he was brutally knocked out like 5 or 6 fucking times over a 3 year span and plummeted. (although to be fair he did go on a 4 fight winning streak during that time and all of his opponents were high quality)

After he had his face rearranged by Rozenstruik and his lip exploded, I thought he was done and should retire. I thought for sure Dana would cut him. But, the UFC showed why it knows what's its doing and renewed him. He went on to once again redeem himself, and not only recover but excel. He is one of the most active fighters on the roster, nevermind at HW.

47 wins with 42 finishes! (also has been knocked out 14 times, only submitted once though--by the greatest BJJ HW practitioner of all time Werdum-- in his entire career)

“In the second round, I was hit with a knee that dislocated two of my ribs. When he took me down, he hit me with an elbow that broke two more. So I was without four ribs, so to speak. That got in the way a lot. I could not defend takedowns. I could not show my jiu-jitsu. I could not defend myself very well. Kudos to him.”

with DC out of the rankings, Reem is back to 5th, he said he wants to fight Lewis next, or rematch Rozenstruik
Blaydes already called out Lewis last month.
Lewis said he is up to fight Blaydes, Francis or Reem.
sorta crazy with 1 more win, he could be back in the top3

looks like UFC is going to pay Rodriguez win money after the ref stopped the fight and Herman put on A level acting class. was still amazing that Ed got the arm at the end.
wonder if it will be changed to a NC?

Herman addressed the pause in action in his postfight interview.

"I don't know where I got hit, but I know I was hurt and I went down," he said. "I don't know if it was the groin or the body. All I know is I went down. I'd have to watch the tape and see how bad it was."

lol there isn't a man alive who doesn't know if he's been hit in the balls or not.

At the main event I was just thinking, "Why is this the main eve-" when they suddenly boasted, "This is the first female jogger to ever mainline a UFC card..." Ah, BLM...

A dude from Providence RI, which is only 30 miles away from where I live, made it to Dana White Contender series last night, Dinis "Sweetbread" Paiva. He fought in a shit tier promotion in NE called CES, but he fought a couple former UFC veterans and other regionally ranked fighters, so he isnt a complete scrub. His record was 13-7, with 7 first round finishes, he won 6 fights in a row up until last night. Sadly he only won the 3rd round and lost a decision to Kyle Driscoll.

Everyone around here was bummed afterward but he showed heart and toughness, he has ever been stopped. I dont know if Dana will give him another look though. Kind of sucks you fight your whole life to make it to that point, a trip to Vegas, a chance of a lifetime. Now its back to the drawing board fighting cans in lower Providence.

Dude is 13-7 in bush leagues, he isn't going back to fight cans, he's going back to get recycled.
