What I mean is whenever he fights someone who's known for a specific part of their game like Mark Hunt-Striking, Brock Lesnar-Wrestling, Fabricio Werdum-Grappling, he usually just trains for that aspect of their game while not worrying about what else they might have to offer.
Mark Hunt - Idk what his gameplan for this fight was obviously, but you can tell he hadn't really trained for TDD for this fight.
Fabricio Werdum - The gameplan was clear as day even before the fight started. Avoid the ground and for the most part he did. But you could see that hadn't really prepared for Werdum having any offense in the striking department. Overeem should've easily outstruck Werdum but towards the end of the fight, Werdum was actually starting to get the best of Overeem in the striking exchanges.
Brock Lesnar - Same gameplan for Werdum, still didn't prepare for any type of striking offense from Lesnar, ever more so as he had his hands down(probably to make avoiding TDs easier but so what). Brock was actually able to cut Overeem above his right eyebrow though because of this though
So really no point to this thread, but I was wondering if you guys might think this is a positive or negative tendancy by Overeem?
