This past weekend, I eagerly watched Marloes Coenen walking into the cage on a choppy web-stream while the fire alarm in my apartment building went off. Every part of me wanted to ignore it until I looked out the window and saw a dozen emergency vehicles closed the entire street. Even then, I wanted to stay in my apartment and finish watching the fights before evacuating a burning building, but FDNY didn’t give me that option when they pounded on my door because the hallway was filled with smoke. I pleaded to the them in the lobby to go back and grab my laptop, but they explained that surviving this ordeal would be a more fruitful option than watching the main event of Invicta FC. They clearly have different priorities than I do. If Marloes is reading this right now, I hope she understands that I was willing to burn to death watching her fight this weekend, but the New York Fire Department didn’t allow me to; and for that, I’m sorry.

The remainder of my night was a lot like the videos below, except there weren’t any cameras to document it, and our beverages were far less exciting while being considerably more expensive. Also, Dana White and Ed O’Neill weren’t there. Props to Zombie Prophet for the rip.

I like him, but in this video he says some really stupid shit like Overeem isn't a good striker.

Dana's really throwing Overeem under the bus now.
I believe he was cheating but he wasn't suspended. He wasn't even under license in LV. He was denied a license and he can't reapply for 9 months. And bringing up him being KO'd by Liddell and being "skinny" at 205. He was 228 pounds fighting Werdum at openweight in 06.

I absolutely hate when people bring up the Overeem size/timeline thing, like a professional athlete can't gain ~40lbs naturally in 6+ damn years. Of course he was way smaller in 2003, he was just a 23 year old kid at the time. At that age I gained 20lbs of muscle in under ONE year, while working 40 hours a week, and the only things I took were Creatine, Protein, and Glutamine. You saying a guy that literally just eats and trains for a living can't put on another 20 more lbs in 6 more years???

Keep in mind Mir gained almost the same amount of weight as Overeem did over the course of 5-6 years in just a few months, and he didn't spark a huge controversy.

Look at people like Jon Jones(currently the same age as Overeem was in 2003) in 6 years and see how he looks compared to the chicken legged scrawny young 205'er we see fighting today...I promise you he will be 250+ lbs and shredded if he is still fighting in 5 or 6 years.

Wait, didn't he win some kind of kickboxing tournament? Oh that's right, he was ranked as the no. 1 HW kickboxer in the world in 2010
