Dan still looking raw but better than 90% of the HW division He ia still behind Cain/JDS/Reem on that showing so far
So annoying watching Cain and Cormier spend so much time on top and not even work for subs when they are there.
I wouldn't be surprised if Overeem doesn't make it past Bigfoot. I think he's still being overrated. His performance against Werdum was horrible and I thought he lost the striking battle with the jiujjitsu fighter.
Javier Mendes is an ex kickboxer so it's only natural that they have such a strong emphasis on striking. Works for them so far - but I agree that it is a weakness for both. They pass so many opportunities for submissions every time out.
I hear you Shuges, but if Reem connects just once against anyone then he is the Cha,p. Just thing Cain, and to a lesser degree Dan are a good match up for Alistair They are just too open and not as relentless and durable as they need to be in my opinon. Classic 50/50 striker grappler match fpr me
