I think Rogers will win, as he still fresh and young to the game. As others have said Overeem is better on a techincal stand point but other areas matter such as mental makeup and will to win. For some reason i favour Rogers to do it.
Overeem by sub in round 1 (or Ko) But who knows...anything can happen. (he proved it against arlovski)
Well this is a dangerous fight for Overeem as Rogers is naturally a very strong and heavy handed fighter. Although his standup should be better, I think it would be best for Overeem to take him down and submit him to avoid and risks.
I think Rogers makes it easy for Reem to MT clinch him and mash knees off his face if he bumrushes at the outset. Rogers has to try to land a big shot in the middle of exchanges to win this fight, Reem has the advantage EVEYWHERE else. Overeem KO end of the 1st.
I've been thinking Overeem is a big dude with power. If he gets thrown around it's because Rogers is immense.
Übereem is a beast. I feel there's a distinct possibility that Rogers has been overrated off the Fedor loss. "Styles make fights" - it's as true in any other combat sport as it is in boxing. Rogers may have just exposed some slight stylistic vulnerability in Fedor, as opposed to being a world-beater and 2nd best in the division as some have since touted him. This should be a good scrap, in any event. The judges may well have an easy night's pay.
true, overeem is a kickboxer and is a better striker than fedor imo. I expect this fight to be a stand up war that's why i think overeem wins this fight by TKO-KO.
Overeem's isn't iron but he also has devastating power. He's sort of like a kickboxing/MMA version of Herbie Hide or Tommy Morrison.
