2 badass Dutch kickboxers (which means they are hard as coffin nails).

Both are very good submission guys as well.

Who takes it and how?

Overeem is light years better than Bas, but Bas was tough as shit and would likely hang in there long enough for Overeem to either gas, fold mentally, or lapse defensively. It would look something like Overeem/Liddell or, for a more recent example, Overeem/Rothwell.
 
Both fail the pre-fight test, and fight is scrapped.

Yeah I think Bas's chin was a lot better than Reems, so like you said it could end up looking like Chuck/Reem. Bas kicks like a fucking mule, though, so he could take Reem out early on. I would be interested to see those 2 grapple as well.
 
Bas's speed and fight IQ would be too much for Reem.
 
Overeem would crush him. Prime Bas wasn't that big. Can't have been more that 220lbs.
 
well Bas did fail the last time he fought

Are you sure? I don't remember that at all. I know Kimo was his original opponent, and Kimo failed. But Bas? I don't think so (I could be wrong though).




edit: I just looked it up. Bas did fail for pain killers. Not exactly like taking steroids, but illegal substances are illegal substances. Oh well.

So basically you are saying Overeem is not light years better than Bas.

Yeah unperscribed painkillers not PEDs but he did fail.

You should get banned for posting bullshit. His original opponent Kimo failed and was pulled from the fight. You are a fucking idiot.
 
I see bas getting the T(KO) but not without having to receive a beating at first. Bas via better cardio and accuracy.
 
some of the best fight IQ at HW ever.

too bad his knees turned to jelly.

His neck is what really kept him retired, also he always said his tendons just werent strong enough for the muscle he would pack on to be competitive.
