nick names

Very popular nicknames for the Reem are "The Reem" "ubereem" and "supereem". If you want sources ask brew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubereem (talk • contribs) 13:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Steroid Speculation

I see a comment about his suspicious super-bulking has been added. While I do agree that fan suspicion has grown so fevered that it probably should be mentioned somewhere, I don't think in the headline paragraph is the best place for it. I vote for a short section of a sentence or two, near/at the bottom.

I'll wait a week or so to see if there's any discussion before attempting any changes. Senor Vergara (talk) 02:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that speculation regarding the use of banned performance enhancers -- coupled with his failure to do the drugs-testing necessary to defend the Strikeforce title in the U.S. -- merits mention in this article. MisterJayEm (talk) 17:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridiculous. Mere speculation has no place in a Wikipedia article. Until Overeem fails a drug test he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty of using performance enhancing drugs. The last time he fought in the USA at Heavyweight he passed the test and while he's gotten alot bigger since then that is not evidence that he is doping. He has never refused to defend his Strikeforce Heavyweight title and there have been understandable circumstances such as injuries and participation in the K-1 World GP that have kept him from defending his title.

Champion

The claim that he is no longer Strikeforce HW champ was unsourced and is contradicted by numerous recent web articles and the Strikeforce website. I removed it. Senor Vergara (talk) 02:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UFC link

I removed the link to the UFC in the see also section, because Overeem has never actually fought in the UFC. Revert if you disagree with me.Alex Klotz 22:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Americana NOt armbar!

Why is it edited back to an armbar win over Mark Hunt. It was not an armbar! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.186.65.47 (talk) 16:32, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I edited his win over Mark Hunt -it was a rather unconvential americana, not an armbar! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.1.96.133 (talk) 17:26, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
