    N'Gannou vs Reem is such an intriguing fight.

    Reem has the better IQ, but Francis is a legit beast. Either Reem ends him quick or gents ended quick.

    No way this is a war of attrition with that much power and skill in once cage!

    I've been cutting back on the drinking last couple of months. Definitely going to buy a few beers for this one.

    I think Overeem will end the hypetrain tonight, Ngannou is just too green and untested. Best win on his ledger is an Arlovski who was on a bad skid and even there he was winging wide telegraphed hooks, not something you want to do vs Overeem.

    Maybe. But N'Gannou is fearless. He's well round and he has a point to prove.

    Reem, IMHO, Hasn't been a killer since his Ubereem days. Tis also time for the new breed to step up at HW.

    One things for sure, if he makes a single mistake he's toast.

    Absolutely.

    That chin & N'Gannou's power is not a healthy combination!

    This is another good card. Think I'll go with Aldo bringing his leg kick and regaining his title.

    Ngannou is still raw. Overeem is the better striker and grappler, but Ngannou has the style to break Overeem. I'm guessing Overeem tries to bring his sweep game and get this fight to the ground.

    Alvarez probably isn't the best choice for Gaethje's fight plan. The best choice for Gaethje that is. It should be great for us. Alvarez by spectacular tko.

    Reem seemed extremely relaxed, pre-fight.
    Needs to keep it technical, protect his chalk-head, and leg kick early.

    I see Reem winning by KO

    Reem should win by KO. But if Reem won all of the fights he should have done he would only have lost to Miocic.

    Reem has all of the tools required to be an ATG, but he has a god awful chin.

    He's probably still a top ten ATG, but he could have been more.

    I'm not buying the hype either. But it's completely possible for him to KO Overeem and not be an elite fighter.

    Another **** stoppage from Herb Dean. Most overrated ref in the business. Lame.
