8 Biggest Body Transformations In UFC
1. Alistair Overeem
For many fans, the years between 2008 and 2011 are known as the ‘Ubereem’ years. This is simply down the sheer size Overeem became across that time. While fighting on Japanese promotion Dream, Overeem gained over 20lbs within the space of 6 fights!
A quick look back through the years, shows a phenomenal change in the The Reem’s body. The most dramatic change in shape can be seen from when he faced Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 in 2011, to his bout against Antonio Silva at UFC 156 in 2013.
Why the two year lay off? Overeem tested positive for elevated testosterone levels before his title bout with Junior Dos Santos and was handed a 9 month suspension. When Overeem returned, there was a clear change to his muscle profile. His traps had all but disappeared and his 6-pack was non existent.
