Wouldn't mind seeing him matched up with some guys in the UFC.
Kongo would be a fun fight for Alistair.

Overeem's standup is dirty (good way) and he's got alot of power and potential to be alot of guys in the HW division (even though there's like 5)
The only question is how's his gas tank, and if he there mentally, unlike before.

It would be a Beanbag knee fest. I just wonder who would quit first from the excessive shots to the nuts. |

Overeem is a good fighter and I'd like to see him in the UFC, but I feel that the cage would be a disadvantage for him. I'd bet on Gonzaga and Lesnar to beat him.

Lol, that would be the best! Both guys would get a taste of their own medicine. While they're at it, why not throw Keith Hackney in the cage with then just for the hell of it

Honestly Overeem's submission game is underrated. As long as he's not facing top notch submission guys like he did against Overeem he will do fine at HW.
Especially with the weight he's put on his size gives him a big advantage. 6'5 and 240 is a great size for a HW.

What do you expect, Lesnar had only one pro fight coming into the UFC and i don't think he even had any amateur fights, of course people are going to be upset he gets a title shot so early. Everyone knows how good his wrestling background is, but that doesn't mean he deserves to be where he is right now. I believe the majority of the people on this forum don't care that he was in the WWE. I also don't see why it was asked why so many people are hating on Brock when there was no hate in this thread. Just cause someone thinks he is going to lose a fight doesn't mean they hate him, jeez

This is GREAT news! I am a huge Overeem fan! I can't wait to see him add some depth to hW division.
Overeem vs. Gonzaga or Werdum would be hawt.
