I like the footage u added, kept me watching. Good one 👍

I thought the interview was after the fight 😂

[@AJwiththeAK]

Is this the most the reem has ever spoken in an interview?

[@ElderGrimm1994]

I hadn't even heard him speak before this, so it's new to me. Lol

[@crome1115]

lol no he did one years ago with Michael Shivelo where he talked about eating horse meat lol

[@THEFLAWEDCASUAL]

he did an interview with whitaker and his coach(at the time) that was relatively long

[@HadrienATF]

there is a "The Reem" video serie somexhere if you're interested

Great interview! Reem sounds like such a down to earth and humble guy. Imagine having a drink with that guy, the stories he's gotta have.

[@Max-is4qu]

People like Connor, Colby, Ferguson etc. who like to trash talk and showoff are generally seen in a very negative way in the Netherlands. The Dutch are a pragmatic people and we know that you can only proof your worth by showing your skills instead of trashtalking. One of our most common sayings is "act normal, then you are already crazy enough". Humbleness is the norm here, instead of the boastfullness and overconfident behavior often seen in some Anglo or Latin countries. Guess its because of our Calvinist roots. And while Overeem is half Jamaican you can trully see that his Dutch mother raised him the Dutch way.

[@ernokirnyan9984]

@@Max-is4qu Then check his way of attitude, comments and behaviour towards Big Foot Silva, k1 opponents from 2009-2010 or crocop. Hardly sportmanship rather full arrogancy. Please do check.

[@mikebarrett3982]

Holy shit, this is so cool! Thanks for this awesome video, I love your content, but this is a special treat.

[@sashkinsportix]

holy macarony You got Reem, nice intervew

Man he is a legend I was sad about what happened but he achieved everything I hope the best for him

[@nobodysfavourite6953]

That was freaking amazing

[@erickuniverse97]

what a good interview +1 and sub. I thought that at some point was going to name Cain Velasquez, I was always curious that it had happened in a fight between the two.. demons like Bigfoot Silva achieved that damn combination in the third round.

[@harlemdeni]

Love this dude. I feel that EVERYBODY wanted the win for him. But it is what it is. Still A BEAST!

[@jamesduby7031]

Great interview, loved hearing alistar talk, he’s such a a nice guy !
