I'm huge Overeem fan. But I'm worried about him. He had lot of brutal KO losses in his career, he's 40 years old and he looked much slower in his last 2 fights despite KO wins.
Jairzinho is undefeated fighter with scary KO power and world class striking skills. He's relatively young for heavyweight division. My prediction is Rozenstruik knock him out early, but I hope I'm wrong.
If Overeem will try to exchange his looping punches especially hooks like he did against Rothwell or Ngannou then Jairzinho probably knocks him out. Overeem should be patient, wait for the counter and bait him in there.
Double or single leg takedowns attempts are bad idea as well just like being over aggressive. Rozenstruik have speed advantage and he can counter him.
Overeem have size advantage, strength advantage and he's more well rounded. Clinch is the perfect idea because he can use his knees, elbows and take him down from there. Rozenstruik is a striker so Reem is probably superior grappler and his gnp is nasty.
But every fight starts on the feet. So Overeem should avoid wild exchanges with him and dont become stationary target next to the fence like he does sometimes.
Reem have the highest strikes accuracy so he should use his kicks and switch stances like he did against JDS.
If Overeem wins this one he will (and he should) call out Ngannou because only this victory will guarantee him title shot. I know its even more dangerous fight than Jairzinho however if he wants title shot its the only opportunity.
