Crocop '04 Age: 30 Height: 6ft 2in Weight: 235lbs Reach: 73in Form: KO of Aleks Emelianenko, sub of Kevin Randleman, technical win over Josh Barnett vs Overeem '11 Age: 31 Height: 6ft 5in Weight: 263lbs Reach: 81.5in Form: TKO of Brock Lesnar, decision over Fabricio Werdum Who you got and how? :bbb
I got Mirko via being much to quick for Reem. He'd circle, move in, leg kick. Back out, circle, straight left. Reem tries to clinch and gets pushed off . Mirko comes foward, body kick. Then BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. LHK. Night, night.
I had a comparatively long post typed out about the difference in weight (30lbs) and reach (8.5" :shock: ) being too much for Crocop to overcome, but I honestly just can't envision Overeem, even on his best night, beating a prime Crocop. Crocop, KO, lhk, late in the fight after Overeems shoulders pump up so much he can't keep his hands near his head.
The only way Reem would win is if he bullied Mirko in the clinch early, and or took him down. If he did that, then he could get in Mirko's head and beat him up.
I wish Reem had went to HW much earlier in his career. But considering how he got booked in Pride, they would've probably gave him Mirko, Fedor, and Big Nog all in a row. LOL
