Who do you fancy to win the GP now: Bigfoot, Overeem, Kharitonov or Barnett?

I'm leaning towards Bigfoot. Silva/Barnett final is some good ****

 

yea i hope either bigfoot or sergei win the tourney.

 

I think we will see an Overeem-Barnett final. Barnett is my darkhorse and has been from the beginning my main concern was cage rust from his time off but he seemed to do fine against Rodgers.

 

Wow Kharitonov is underrated. I voted Bigfoot but SK is a dark horse in this thing. He is a tough ******* no doubt.

 

yea bro i agree sergei kharitonov is a ****ing machine.

 

Bigfoot wins. Simple as that. Your talking about a 6'5 280lb man with high caliber Brazilian Jujitsu and quality striking. He's an absolute beast of a man with actual SKILL to match his "Lesnar/Carwin" size. Strong enough to keep Overeem from getting to brave and skilled enough on the ground to take alot of Barnett's advantages away. Don't let the Kyle fight make you misjudge his chin, be took bombs from Fedor and stood firm.

 

I'm not saying he can't win but the hype surrounding Big Foot is ridiculous. Not only is there the Kyle fight but there's also the loss to Werdum and the flat performance against Arlovski. He's by no means a beast.

 

I fancy Overeem (no homo).

 

I actually think Reem might be my 4th choice to win this thing looking at style matchups. Werdum is good on the ground but he cannot force the fight to the ground, he has to lure guys in and pull guard so don't think Reem CANNOT be taken down. He also showed massive holes in Reems defense, an 'elite' striker like Reem getting hit by some of those shots was embarassing. Then there is the cardio issue, all the other three guys will be planning to beat Reem later on in the fight, I mean Reem was gassed from throwing strikes and stuffing td's how the **** will he deal with grappling with Bigfoot/Barnet?

I think Kharitonov beats him on the feet, Barnet will be able to take him down and keep him there from round 2 onwards and Bigfoot grinds out a win using his size to tire him out and his skills to finish him. All fighters left have good chins and much better cardio as they are close to their natural weight, not overly blown up with oxygen eating muscles.

 

It's all in how you look at things, I guess.

Against Kyle, he was caught flush with a fast ball of a right hand. Silva showed great resiliency that fight. Though I do doubt his chances if Overeem tags him with the same kind of shot in the 1st round.

Silva vs Werdum was like Rampage and Machida in reverse. Machida won the 3rd round clearer than Rampage won the first 2, and looked like the better fighter in losing a decision. Silva won the 1st round a lot clearer than Werdum won the next two, looking like the better fighter in a losing performance.

Say what you want about the Arlovski fight, but I feel that out pointing Arlovski in a bout that is mostly stand-up is an accomplishment. Sure, Arlovski is prone to the knock out; but he is often winning the fight when it happens.

 

interesting results...

Big foot = 17
Overeem = 15
Barnett = 15

 

Agreed. BUT way too many underestimated Silva. That dude is a beast in EVERY sense of the word. He has a sound chin. Canned hams for fists. And an excellent ground game. O yeah and did i tell you he's 300lbs? You best believe Overeem Barnett whomever have their hands full with this guy.

 

I'm going with Sergei Kharitonov vs Bigfoot in the final and the winner being Bigfoot.
