    & why.

    havent seen much of overeem, seems like he has pretty solid striking but can he contend with lesnars wrestling.

    tell me who u got and why.

    Overeem by massacre.

    Hope Lesnar can do it though.

    Overeem all day, so long as he's permitted his roids. His striking is miles ahead of Brock's and he won't be getting overpowered. I think he may well finish it inside a round.

    Well, the default is Overeem by early stoppage.

    The question mark is if Brock can tackle him down to the ground. If he can put Overeem on his back and stay calm, I reckon the fight is Brock's to lose.

    But I haven't seen Overeem fight before, so this is just from reading a bunch of different reports and opinions. :lol:

    Watch Fedor/Rogers and then watch Overeem/Rogers. That should tell you a little something about his strength and power.

    Well, I didn't say that Brock is going to overpower Overeem. I said that if he can take him down and get top control, then Brock is bad times for anybody, Overeem included. :conf

    Iv got reem rnd 1 but you shouldn't be marking his fight with rogers as to how he'll do with Brock!
    Roger = talentless banger > Brock = 1 of the most powerful wrestlers at HW!

    I wasn't really comparing those two. I was just remarking about how easily Overeem rag-dolled a guy that gave Fedor so much trouble with his size and strength.

    That's a GG move. I see Gokan Saki doing that too. Is that a legal move in boxing? :huh

    He's not necessarily good at wrestling or takedown defense per se but he is hard to take down because he is so strong. He does have very good BJJ though, he actually has more wins by submission than by KO. He qualified for the ADCCs a few years back as well.

    I can't see that playing a factor if the fight does go to the ground though, Frank Mir has a much better ground game and look what happened to him.
