I really hope we get to see this fight before both guys retire. Both guys former K-1 and Pride stars that are still in the top 10. The first fight ended pretty quickly but I think a rematch would go differently. Overeem has more tools but I would lean towards Hunt finding his chin and flattening him. What are your thoughts?
 
I'd pick hunt bc he's taking it seriously this time but I also thought JDS was going 5o destroy reem so what do I know
 
I pick Reem, much taller with more diverse striking and better grappling. Also Hunt's chin isn't unbreakable anymore and Reem is half a decade younger.
 
Reem by KO....

It's funny how ppl have this irrational hate for the reem.
 
The only reasonable response is "It's Heavyweight, so who the fucks knows what will happen"

Overeem has the skills to beat any heavyweight, and has the chin to lose against one single blow from anyone who can line up and get in that perfect attack.
 
Would love to see this fight happen. Pullin for Hunt but I could see it going either way.
 
Hunt walk off Ko in the first sixty seconds.

Well... either fighter can win any fight, for me predictions are just about who is favored.
 
Id pick Hunt.
 
Overeem by decision would be the most likely outcome. Hunt has slowed down at age 41 and Alistair has gotten less aggressive/reckless. I think AO could move and pick Hunt apart with his length while avoiding the big KO punch. 5 rounds would favor Hunt though IMO. Reem could slow down enough in rounds 4-5 to maybe get caught.
