The Reem takes a piss on all other MMA personality/docu type endeavors

I’m talkin specifically about "In the Moment"

by Robust23 on Mar 31, 2011 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions

I actually like Dana's vlogs...

they’re different formats. Thr Reem is like a flawless film and Dana’s is guilty pleasure reality t.v. When compared with other fighters’ vlogs, there’s really no comparison.

by John Danaher's Hair on Mar 31, 2011 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions

terrible comparison

Another flawless episode

If anyone is curious, the epic orchestral music playing during the lineup and Valentijn’s fight is from the Gears of War 2 soundtrack.

I love this documentary. The soundtrack, editing, everything is awesome.

This is great way for Overeem to build a strong fanbase, and I’m sure it’s working as a good piece of promotion for any of the events he fights at.

It seems like the voice has weird sort of bromance going on with a lot of guys… Not that there’s anything wrong with that

Love the REEM documentary series, I look forward to each new episode. I also can’t wait for this monster to destroy that tournament and take the UFC belt.
