Overeem's takedown is a thing of beauty

[Megatun]

I don't know why he doesn't employ this vs anyone with heavy hands. Straight into GNP and he has a decent shot at the title. #PRIDENEVERDIE

 

[Sapphorous]

Think he wanted to grapple Francis but that got shut down real quick

 

[Sapp]

His takedown attempt against Ngannou was legit pathetic though.

He might of got it if he fought more intelligently, he fought like an idiot running at Francis all the time.

 

[3sumrock]

Overeem is as skilled as you can get in hw.

 

[Poirierfan]

No It's not, lol

Yep, and Stipe executed the game plan against him brilliantly right afterwords

 

[Dark One]

No other top HWs will go down that easy. Even Ngannou was able to defend Stipe's takedowns until he gassed, and Stipe has way better takedowns

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

The way he sets up that take down is beautiful. Fakes going one way to get Struve to react and then uses his momentum against him.

They might if they were expecting a stand-up fight vs Reem.

 

[TDD]

He is so skilled on the feet that he doesnt use his ground game, its a thing that happens with many fighters, especially the ones that have power. Overeem is slick on the ground and he should use it.

 

[aristocrat]

He has the skill but lost his confidence...

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

It's Struve....

Arlovski had more takedowns on Struve in one fight than his ENTIRE MMA career.

 

[scorpipede]

it looks nice but Struve is also quite willing to fight from his back. Props to Overeem here though. That was a whooping.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Yes, he stopped taking "confidence"... he needs to get some "confidence" in his system if he wants to win the title.

 

[HelloJapan]

That's look impressive...against a no TD defense, 8 foot tall, skinny, standing up right, dude.

Lol sure he stopped....

We haven't seen him shoot vs anyone else, so it's hard to say. It sure beats getting clipped and KO'd.

Sure, taking down a 7 ft Dutchman & a D1 wrestler from Cleveland are the same thing.

Who said anything about using this vs Stipe?

You're so salty lol
