Should Overeem retire if Pavlovich finishes him?

[Me&MrJones]

I find it hard to watch Overeem (38 years, 6 months) for about 4-5 years now due to the possibility of his chin not holding up.

Should he retire if Pavlovich finishes him?

 

[dethmanrulz]

yes.

 

[chitoortiz]

Yes.

 

[Slatersan]

Yeah. Dude needs to just open up his own gym.

 

[clumseygenius]

Nope. Go to Bellator.

 

[Local Plata]

Nah, I like seeing him get his ass beat.

That would be 3 straight ko losses. After ngannou took his head off he pretty much removed himself from getting another title fight, ever. Him and Werdum especially after getting suspended are in that boat now.

 

[Andre Xiong]

A one hit wonder like Lewis getting title shot probably gives a lot of HWs hope

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Dudes been brutalized too many times in the ring. I have no interest in seeing a longtime vet like Reem like this.

He’s got the presence, look, and personality to move on to better things. I’m sure he has a bright future ahead of MMA should he apply himself. If a can like Schaub could, I’m sure Reem would excell as an MMA personality.

Need to get out from under USADA pronto.

Otherwise fight out his contract and retire.

His chin retired in 2013.
6 losses- 6 knockouts

 

[Mammothman]

I hope he goes to Rizin and get juiced so he can fight cro cop in a rematch and who knows maybe one more title run with Rizin

 

[Szwok]

sadly yes

 

[PIИKBLIИK]

100% yes.

 

[Space Dog]

Overeem is a really underrated grappler. In 60 fights he has only been submitted one time and it was fabricio werdum. I think he could do well in some grappling competitions, for sure not any full contact fighting.

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Overeem when a jab touches his chin

 

[Skarsgard]

Even if he starches him faster than he did Duffee, he needs to retire.

 

[Cpt Migraine]

It's impossible to tell with hw.. he probably should retire and would probably do well in other areas of life but he could also hold the belt in 3 years.. look at arlovski..

 

[Me&MrJones]

His chin retired in 2013.
6 losses- 6 knockouts

15 KO losses including kickboxing, it's a hard knock life. But he gets $800k per fight so it's hard to walk away.

 

[TITS]

These current HW bookings are dumb. They should have booked Overeem vs Taivusa, JDS vs Blaydes, and fed this Pavlovich guy to Ngannou.
