The Reem’s videos have good production value. The guy behind the camera and the editor of the video do a decent job.

Big john still the best
Comic Book Guy: The Internet King? I wonder if he could provide faster nudity…
Homer: Oh, so they have Internet on computers now!
Strikeforce fans are crazy weeeeeeiird
Plus: John McCarthy is a stone cold G and truly the ONLY mma ref that confidently and decisively oversees fights in the proper manner.

Bull.
Herb Dean is just as good and guys like Josh Rosenthal, Yves Lavigne, and Mario Yamasaki aren’t far off.
Mauro manages to be annoying in this also.

That's an understatement...
Was he trying to rap or something? Christ that was fucking retarded
The stuff with Big John was interesting.
Some of those shots on the ground looked liked they were landing on the back of the head.
I personally thought he was clipping the side of the head and making a direct effort not to hit the back of the head
Though I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had gotten warned.
Not afraid to nitpick
Overeem is a very polarizing character
He seems smart, so incredibly confident, and he just has that “it” factor. I’ve really became a big fan of him lately. The documentaries are great.
Love these Docs...
Hope he keeps up with it… I have always been a fan of the Demo Man and it pained me about all the hate AO received prior to the Rogers fight, but i am very glad that people are warming up to AO b/c he truly is a great guy and the negativity he received was quite harsh and undeserved.
If Overeem keeps doing these..
he will have a huge fanbase, not to mention some great negotiating power when the UFC comes calling. All he needs to do is point to his YouTube views.

Most of the traffic is going straight to TheReem.com, which is hosted on Vimeo.

Not true.
Some of the traffic is going through the vimeo site, but most of it is on youtube.
Episode 1 had 33K views on youtube and only 14K views on vimeo.
Episode 2 had 36K views on youtube and only 3K views on vimeo.
Episode 3 has 306 views on youtube and only 258 views on vimeo.
Wow
Youtube caught up fast. Episode 3 is up to 15k on Youtube now.

To be fair, it is still early for episode 3.
Episode 2 had 35,594 views and episode 1 had 32,740 views.
That said, those viewership numbers are still small potatoes. Kimbo Slice’s UFC 113 open workout drew 300K+ views. Joe Rogan versus ppilled bag of icve drew 165K+ viewers. Dana White video blogs regularly draw 100K+ viewers. Joe Stevenson’s Australia blog drew 58K+ viewers. Todd Duffee’s “a day in the life” video got 40K+ views.
Net, in the grand scheme of things, “the REEM” is a step below guys like Stevenson & Duffee in terms of Youtube viewership, and nowhere near the kind of viewership that would give him leverage in contract negotiations. He’d need to draw millions and millions of views to gain that kind of leverage. The only guy in MMA who has those kind of Youtube numbers is Kimbo.
Loving these documentaries. They are certainly a lot better than many of the boring vid blogs that the ufc fighters are all coming out with nowadays.
Production values are GREAT!
Best personal videos by far from a fighter.

Strikeforce & Moosin beware!
“The Reem” documentary is back and has single-handedly stole the thunder from last nights MMA Events!
