I guess Fabricio might get the title shot after all (if he beats Nog).
Overeem fought stupid. He probably could have put Silva away in the first two, but he wanted to showboat. This is what happens. I ain't even mad, because now we'll get JDS vs. Overeem, which I've wanted.
I mean come on.... Bigfoot is not that good of a fighter, but any heavy weight should know not to stand in front of him with their hands down. Doing so is a good way to go to sleep early in the night!
He fought a one armed saki and was losing til they stopped it for a bullshit injury reason, he beat spong by decision and he beat ben edwards who is a can and aerts who was just in a semi final war with schilt in the final
Overeem had a different game plan. He was looking for openings, but couldn't find it in BF's air tight defense. So he clinched wore em out, then 2nd round took em down.
Third round BF went for broke. Everybody knows The Reem's chin isn't the best, but he took a helluve more shots than Travis Brown. The Reem needed to take him more seriously and try to hurt BF in the 2nd round. He won both rounds, but he didn't hurt em.
Before this fight began it reminded me of Gonzaga vs Crocop where things just didn't go quite the way it could of or should have went.
Well, now the division is going to be a bit of a mess. JDS and Cain wrecks everybody.
BF vs Frank Mir unless Cormier faces em, in that case it could very well be BF vs JDS. There's no way JDS loses against BF.
The Reem can pretty much beat everybody else...this fight was his tonight. A lil fluky, but good for Big Foot to sticking to his guns. I'd say The Reem vs Roy Nelson for kicks or Cheick Kongo for a confidence booster. Oh shiet...
The Reem vs Mark Hunt anyone!!!
Well, suppose it was time. Everytime he gets KOed he actually gets mentally stronger. As stated in my previous posts...he's been KOed plenty before. So that's why he adopted the one strike pattern and uses his shoulders to roll and block. Make no mistake Overeem was thoroughly winning both rounds. He simply did not take advantage of the second round to do damage and with his disdain for BF's striking he allowed em right back in. When you see the kill...you have to EXECUTE. This is what makes Anderson who he is. There's no second chance.
Good fight though!
