Overeem vs Rothwell? Should be Big Country vs Rothwell

[Crushasaurus]

I know Nelson has another fight lined up, but he should definitely get a crack at Rothwell to avenge that loss.

Overeem went from Mir to Rothwell? I'm trying to figure out how this makes sense. Well i guess both were busted for PEDs? Will anyone think better of Overeem if delivers anything but a first round knockout? This doesn't seem to do much for overeem except pad the record and easy money. And what about Rothwell?

Well.... Roy is fighing Hunt which is the fight that WE ALL WANT TO SEE.

And lets not pretend that Rothwell would not walk through Mir right now. Big Ben is a solid fighter. Mir was just a gimme fight.

Big country is fighting mark hunt right now which is one of the few fights the UFC can make that gets the people really excited. Much more so than Nelson vs Rothwell.

No way man! Hunt vs Nelson is the fight we all wanna see.

Reem is too inconsistent for me to consider Rothwell a gimme fight for him. That said, I fully expect Reem to take this. 1st round finish or not, I would consider big Ben a solid win.

glad u follow MMA so much

They did fought in the IFL. I think if they fight again today, Roy by KO/TKO or even submission. I think Ben will gas after the first round and Roy will take over from there.

I think that with Greg Jackson as his coach the Reem will be better strategically. He will maybe have a better understanding of his opponents' strengths and weaknesses. Rothwell comes forward aggressively looking for the KO in almost all of his fights. I think AO will be aware of this and be prepared with some counters. I could see him catching Ben coming in too aggressively and winning by a mercy stoppage TKO after dazing him and following up on the ground.

100% this

Hunt vs Nelson is a dream fight

 

[The Clamburglar]

Hunt VS Nelson is the only fight I am looking forward too. It is a dream come true.

Strange pick. They want to give Overeem an easy opponent. If Ben is one point he will throw those cinderblocks like there is no tomorrow.
