    There is a very real chance that Arlovski would KO Reem. That fight would depend entirely on who landed first.

    My money would be on Reem, though. I think he'd bully AA in the clinch and eventually land something hard enough to put him away.

    Where did all off this ''Hendricks will out wrestle GSP'' malarky come from lately. Was it something Rogan said in commentary.

    Not doubting Johnny's talent or am credentials, on paper they are both very good. But suddenly he's the guy to out wrestle then kod Georges...

    Would not be surprised if he landed a left and finished GSP. But if you look at the two fights where he stepped up into the top of the division, Kos & Condit, his wrestling was not impressive at all and his power was almost null and void. And GSP handled both easier than Johnny did...

    Would love to hear your opinions gents

    Agree man....

    But it's always the same thing, people get hyped with nothing.

    He has a puncher chance, but other then that he can't UD GSP

    He has a very good punchers chance. And truth be told a Hendricks win would breath some life into the division

    I dont think Georges could take some of those short inside hooks as well as Carlos did. But in terms of MMA grappling credentials, GSP should be the clear favorite imo

    Why the bloody hell is Papy Abedi still on the roster?

    I agree. I don't think Allistair is as much chinny as he has bad cardio. It's isn't granite by any means, but I think Overeem takes Arlovski's shot way better than Arlovski can take Overeem's.

    Because he walks out with a cigar and a cool hat plus he has impressive musculature.

    His striking was DECENT, I suppose. But nothing that can't be easily replaced.

    Tho maybe the biggest factor is he has a following in Sweden and ppl here tune in to watch him even tho he isnt one of the biggest stars but his name brings asses to seats

    This is true. And who doesn't love asses, especially when they're in seats.
