    both guys coming off a lost. Overeem should take this. If he loses. he should just call it quits because 3 strike and you out.

    Two glass jawed jokes. Glass is going to be shattered in this fight. That much is certain. I'll be surprised if this fight leaves the 1st round.

    Mir needs to fight like Bigfoot did. Fight safety first early, let Overroid tire then shatter glass.

    How the **** is he gonna do that?:lol:

    He'll be asleep before the middle of the 1st.

    Reem only loses this if he allows himself to.

    Overeem has no heart and a glass jaw, mir has a glass jaw too so this one really is a toss up... reem should win but don't be surprised if mir pulls the upset. I wouldn't bet on this fight

    I assume Dana White is doing this so he can let go the loser from their contract.

    It is a must win for either guy.

    Roid seems to allow himself to be brutally KTFO a lot lately. Mir does have the power to KO him in one shot as well. Last 3 minutes and Roid is huffing and puffing for the next 2 minutes of round one, and vulnerable to get his glass chin shattered.

    The problem is, that this also seems to be Mir's problem to.

    Seems as though he's LAZY. Riding a bike or running down the road at 6am is boring. IMO, makes him a bum not worth the purse he receives. And I was a HUGE fan before UFC (well, as huge as could be with limited exposure to him).

    looks like the obvious case of no erm.....special protien powders, even against lesnar which he won if lesnar survived that initial onslaught overeem would have gassed, his fights are the same in the ufc, will come out swinging and by the 3rd min of round one if his opponent is still there he's gassed out and then its lights out for him

    Anabolics dont help your endurance. He just probably does have any desire to train properly when he's off. Can't get motivated to run

    I see Mir fighting very carefully behind a Winky Wright guard until Overeem gets tired enough for Mir to take him down. I think Mir thinks that he can sub him from a dominant position, and he's probably right. The question is if Mir can make it that far.
