Wow, I wasn't expecting Roy to be the underdog considering his iron chin and powerful hands.
If Econoreem shows up, then no.
Overeem could actually outgrapple Nelson so Nelson has nothing but a big right hand in this fight.
To me this is Roys fight to lose.
Let's look at Overeem's last 8 opponents
WIN Stefan Struve- 28% KOs
LOSS(KO) Rothwell- 59% KOs
WIN Frank Mir- 19% KOs
LOSS(KO) Travis Browne- 79% KOs
LOSS(KO) Bigfoot- 72% KOs
WIN Brock- 40% KOs
WIN Werdum- 32% KOs
??? Roy Nelson- 65% KOs
It seems there's a trend that when he fights 50%+KOs fighter, he gets knocked out but is a great fighter against grapplers.
I'm a fan of the Reem but he's at the part of his career and enough of a draw to pick out better matchups for himself.

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.

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