    I'm more thinking about how Overeem basically man handled a 250+ pound man, and threw him around like he was a rag doll. How crazy Overeem's mount is, like from the side mount I don't see any heavy short of Fedor being able to handle Overeem. He has a very unique side mount attack, you know what I'm talking about.

    I look at Lesnar, and I see how he virtually wilted in the Corner, and was able to have more durability than Carwin had gas.. I look at Overeem's more measured approach, of steady pressure, and I think its a very difficult thing to overcome.

    When I consider what he's shown me, I see him being able to finish just about anyone. What it ends up being is, who gets the takedown first, or does Overeem get a chance to stand up.. The thing about Overeem is his ability to finish standing and from the mount.

    Lesnar only can finish from the mount.

    The only guy I see who is legitimately dangerous from every position is Fedor.

    Mir I worry about his takedown ability, he is good from his back if his opponent is sloppy. He is good from the mount as well. His striking is either over- rated or under-rated. I think its mediocre.
