Roy Nelson is a +180 underdog against Overeem

Money to be made? Overeem is -260 btw.

 

I'm picking Alistair, but Roy can land it.
He won't, though.

 

If Econoreem shows up, then no.

 

That's money. One punch and its over. Not to say Overeem can't win.

 

Nelson's only weapon is his right hand. Reem is not exactly known for a high fight iq but he'll circle away from nelson's right. Maybe overeem can crack his chin too.

 

Overeem takes down Roy and subs him

 

Reem is just going to take Nelson down and pound him for an easy decision win.

 

Uberknee to teh gut.

 

Not bad, I'm might take some of that action.

 

Whoever the underdog ends up being in this fight will be a solid bet.

 

Isn't Roy black belt?

 

Definitely. If Roy lands any solid blow, Overeem will go down. There is no faith to be had in that chin anymore. There's also the good possibility of Reem working the TD and getting the TKO with ground strikes, but yes, I think there's some potential money to be made on those odds.

 

Might throw some fantasy money down on that one.

 

Yes, like .... did, and also .... submit Roy in the past. He is so easy to submit.

 

Overeem is going to outclass Roy

 

I see Overeem GSPeeing Nelson. Avoid exchanges, take him down, do a lil' GnP and pull out the decision. For Nelson all it takes is one shot.

 

I don't gamble, but it's tempting to put some money on Roy. I wouldn't bet the farm, but we all know Overeem's chin is questionable and Roy has the power (and the knack!) to KO damn near anyone.

 

You're right, but it's so strange to read this. Considering when Nelson came into the UFC he was known for his BJJ and grappling, now he's known for being a one punch bomb thrower.

 

People forget how sharp Roy's ground game is.
