Overeem is a bad matchup for Stipe and should probably be a favorite to beat him, and then in classic fashion will lose the belt immediately to Ben rothwell or whomever

Also remember in the days before the ascension of the c.uck meme when people on here would make weird posts like "Overeem kicks rear end and you would HAVE to let him gently caress your girlfriend!" and then Overeem entered the UFC and ruined their fantasy by losing to Travis Browne, Bigfoot Silva, Ben rothwell -- a murderer';s row of guys that you would not get pleasure out of watching gently caress your girlfriend

i think the outcome will hinge on stipe's ability to complete a takedown. i think nothing would precipitate a classic reem wilting better than a few minutes on his back

That muscle idiot comes off as pretty articulate and well spoken in a language that is not his first - something to keep in mind.

Overeem lived in England till he was 6, so English actually is his first language. Although he may also come off as articulate and well spoken in Dutch; I wouldn't know

Also, he is going to smash Stipe so bad he'll look like he doesn't even belong in the ring with him, and then get KOed by Ben Rothwell again, because that is how the heavyweight division works.

I like overeem for his skills and his flaws. If he could win a ufc title and defend it one time successfully I think there would be a serious argument to be made for him as the best hw

there's been so many repeated highs, lows, weird twists, and funny stories in overeem's career that he's probably been the single best guy to be a fan of

overeem's new style is working out fantastically for him but i really don't like the several minutes of nothing before the eyebrow raising conclusion

the HW Prophecy aside , i think stipes got the tools to KO overeem early or late, cuz hes got some juice in his hands, a lot of cardio, and I think his wrestling should be able to keep overeem off him at least

purely in terms of skillset and physical attributes overeem is probably the best heavyweight to ever live and yet i was 100% convinced he was going to lose to todd duffee. that's special in a way that no accolades or championships will ever convey.

The Miller fight was after his loss to Hughes; a lot of people already had him pegged as the Next Big Thing at welterweight at that point. Even in a loss, him outwrestling Hughes was A Big Deal.

the hughes gsp fights and everything in between were so amazing. Hughes arm barring gsp, bullying him on tuf and asking if he wanted to practise arm bar defence through to gsp destroying hughes in the second fight then making hughes tap verbally to an armbar after hump loving hughes to break his grip while mounted was so cathartic.

If you correctly count the fight against Matt Mitrione as a loss due to Disqualification (Being exceptionally Travis Browne), Browne has lost four of his last five fights.

A true renaissance man


Overeem is going to get injured, and then they'll offer the title shot to Werdum, who will turn it down because of Brazillian reasons, and then they'll get Travis Browne to take the fight on 6 days notice and he's going to win.
