Media Overeem: one last run for the belt

I'd love to see him get there but I'm not sure he can beat the Stipe's and Ngannou's of the division

That being said I felt the same about Bisping and Jan so who knows
 
The biggest roadblocks being the inevitable stand up battle with ngannou, or the inevitable ground battle with blaydes
He's showing more grappling and ground and pound recently, I doubt he wants to stand and trade with Ngannou again. He will use a different game plan if they ever fight again.
 
Can't not love Overeem. Most skilled HW ever IMO. That chin though, at this age, of course is a liability. He's capable of beating Stipe but just can't bet on it. And he needs to avoid rematching Ngannou at all costs.
 
He’s beaten 5 UFC HW champs.. but he already got his title shot against Stipe and it was done in less 5 minutes. His peak was long ago when he was Ubereem.
40 year old Overeem has no chance beating Stipe, Francis or even Jon Jones.
 
His list of titles is impressive, if you consider all of MMA AND kickboxing.

He only really lacks the UFC belt, and the only man Fedor ever ran and hid from(in strikeforce))

Overem hasn't done shit in kickboxing. That was Ubereem. Probably was on so much horsemeat even his DNAs were different. Doesn't even look like a same human being.
