Overreem's BJJ isn't in the same league as Mir, and Brock's wrestling completely negated Mir's BJJ in the 2nd match.I Wear Pants;1030042 wrote:Overreem has some pretty good bjj is what I meant.
I hate to admit it, as I will be rooting for Overreem, but if this goes to the ground Overreem will be screwed. He NEEDS to keep this fight standing.

Agreed with the BJJ of Mir. But Mir isn't nearly as big or strong as Overreem which caused him problems against Brock.jmog;1030191 wrote:Overreem's BJJ isn't in the same league as Mir, and Brock's wrestling completely negated Mir's BJJ in the 2nd match.

That said obviously Alistair needs to try to keep this standing as that's where he will likely find the most success.

Idk about that one. Barnett is a much more complete fighter than Cormier.Fab1b;1030267 wrote:Barnett will lose to Cormier!

Cormier is intriguing to me because he's got one of the better wrestling resumes in the division being an Olympian so he should be able to control where the bout is fought. But Barnett is much more experienced.

You may have a point with strength, but Mir is actually heavier than Overeem. 256 vs 260I Wear Pants;1030327 wrote:Agreed with the BJJ of Mir. But Mir isn't nearly as big or strong as Overreem which caused him problems against Brock.

Brock's demeanor the past couple days have been strange compared to his other fights. He seriously looks focused to beat the shit out of Overeem. Other times he's been the guy to do interviews and what not but not this time, he just wants to get in there and beat Overeem. I don't get the same feel from Overeem though. He seems way, way to calm right now and he's very cocky atm as well. I personally think he's underestimating Brock right now. But that's just me lol.

I feel the same way, I think once he gets in there with Brock he will quickly realize the animal he is dealing with. He better catch him early or he is going to have his debut spoiled in a big way.The_Crosby_Show;1030877 wrote:Brock's demeanor the past couple days have been strange compared to his other fights.

I honestly don't know what to expect.
I do know I wouldn't want to be on either's bad side lol..
Overeem looks like a fucking freak of nature.

Yep. Brock with another long lay-off. I'm intrigued as to how conditioned he will be, especially if Overeem gets early leverage.robj55;1030977 wrote:There are so many unknowns going into this fight, on both sides.

I've never questioned Brocks work ethic, from everything I have read he is a savage during training. More worried that Overeem will be the one to gas, he had a lot of distractions during camp. Leaving Golden Glory because of management, his mother's illness causing him to leave the US and go back to Holland, and the crazy amount of drug testing he had to go through. Not sure how he could focus solely on training with all of that going on.hoops23;1030979 wrote:Yep. Brock with another long lay-off.

I have a feeling Brock is going to get caught standing with Overeem. Brock HAS to get the fight on the ground if he's going to win.
I am going to find a way to watch this fight. I have to. I hope we don't stay at a hog roast all night long. This is a fight I do not and cannot miss.

So he put on some more weight since his last fight, either way he isn't really bigger than Mir. Stronger yes, but not bigger.I Wear Pants;1030599 wrote:Reem weighed in at 263.
