@@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.

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.

@@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.

[@AlexHellene]

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.

[@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812]

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.

[@Josh77600]

@@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.

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.

[@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812]

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

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!
