He look lean. Maybe 235 range but not 210.

Maybe he's cool with it because Reem is clean and lean now.

Something tells me the Vitor hate is more than just PED controversy. Vitor's biggest sin was being on TRT and actually winning. These other guys were all still losing while on TRT. But because Vitor was winning and thanking Jesus for it, people had some extra hate for him.
if he really is 210 I reallllllllllly hope he moves to 205 (the only reason for him to be 210 is if he's planning on it anyways)
at 205 all of a sudden his chin isn't as much of a problem and what you're left with is a DANGERRRRRROUS striker

His chin issues wouldn't get any better at that weight. He's getting older and has been shut off a lot. At 205 he's still fighting guys who are 220ish or more on fight day. If his defense isn't tight and he gets hit, he'll still go night night. The best thing for Reem is it's been a full year since his last KO loss. Hopefully he hasn't stupidly been KO'd in training since then and allowed his brain to heal.
His issues (I thought) were much more mental than physical. The moment a fighter stands his ground with him and doesn't cave in to a few kicks or well placed strikes...and actually ya know, puts up a fight? Overeem mentally checks out. You can almost see the off switch in some of his fights.
*edit: I'd much rather see JDS drop to 205 and take the belt. The dude deserves UFC gold around his waist.
I hope his finger slipped while tweeting, and he meant to say 240, because if he's 210, and fighting Ben Rothwell, then he's in for a long night.
210 is smaller than Brandon Vera! 210 is smaller than RUMBLE JOHNSON! THAT'S NUTS!
I want Reem to put on some more weight.
One of the advantages Reem had at HW was that even though he was huge, he still had a speed advantage when he struck.
(Even with his plodding style, his hand speed, kicks and knees were VERY fast for a guy his size.)
If he moves to 205 his speed advantage will evaporate, and guys at 205 are still throwing with big power, if those guys go off on him first, he is going to sleep.
I would want Reem to be 235.

A lot of people just don't like Vitor for any number of reasons. Even before the TRT thing. Look at all the brazilians for example. It's common place to see Minotauro, Anderson, Wandy, Junior, Aldo, Glover, Lyoto, Shogun etc. together. You never see Vitor with any of those guys.

He used to fight at 205 and still got KTFO all the time too. Going to 205 would be a good move if he really is 210, but it would not solve his chin problems.
I doubt that he is really 210 right now. He looks lean, but still very big I would guess around 220-230.

So belts should be awarded to those who deserve it and not earn it?
