UFC legend Alistair Overeem is by no means a small guy considering that he fought in the heavyweight division his entire career. Measuring up to 6 feet 4 inches and weighing almost 250 pounds, he is believed by many to be one of the elite strikers in combat sports. So it came as quite a surprise when another non-combat individual towered over the 42-year-old former Strikeforce champion in a photo that was posted on Instagram. The individual here is Dutch personality Olivier Richters, who fittingly goes by the name of ‘Dutch Giant’ amongst his fans.

The image which was posted by ‘MMA Pack’ on Instagram left fans a bit stunned to see their favorite kickboxer getting overshadowed by another individual. The comments left on the post clearly reflected the shock, while some wondered if Overeem could beat Richters in a fight.

Fans react to the massive difference in size between Alistair Overeem and Olivier Richters

The photo by ‘MMA Pack’ pointed out how many thought Overeem is a massive fighter by mentioning his weight and height to make the point. However, he seemed quite small next to Richters.

While some of the comments displayed the shock that fans felt, Alistair Overeem fans clearly did not have any second thoughts on how a fight between the two would go.

One of the first reactions was an obvious shock.

“Holy f*ck and Alistar is huge dude that fact that dude makes alistar look small is crazy.”

“Guy looks photoshopped.”

Many of the Dutch kickboxer’s fans completely disregarded the size difference.

“Alistar can destroy this man in about One minute.”

“Prime Ubereem would slap him up though.”

“Overeem would still f*ck him up.”

Someone also felt that the size would be a hindrance when it came to fighting.

“Yeah but the 7’2 guy would probably get owned, they are just way too slow.”

Someone also made a controversial reference to Overeem’s last test results.

“Damn he makes overroids look small”

There was clearly no lack of people who found being a giant quite problematic.

“Good luck finding a Bed , clothes, door frames , chairs . Fak being that big, you might go live in Pandora.”

One of the best suggestions was made by a fan who had an unusual request for the UFC

“We need a super heavyweight division in the ufc for monsters like this.”

It clearly wouldn’t have been complete without a WWE reference being made.

“‘This big a*s dude should be in the WWE. Big Show 3.0.”

More about Olivier Richters

Richters is a 33-year-old Dutch bodybuilder and actor. Although many would consider him a physical specimen by looking at his obvious features, what really makes him stand out is his acting capabilities. He has been a part of major production houses like Marvel Studios and, most recently, was working on an upcoming Indiana Jones movie. Along with his acting duties, Richters also runs his online supermarket ‘Muscle Meat’ serving as the CEO of the company.

Judging from the size difference, it’s natural for fans to look at the photo and wonder how a fight would go down between the two. Looking at Richter, maybe a superheavyweight division doesn’t sound like a bad idea for the UFC at all.
