Stipe-Overeem better than Werdum-Overeem 3

[Repsac]

Glad we're getting this match-up.

Hope Overeem becomes champ.

 

[McSpikes]

Overeem gets koed easily. Cain grapple Fucks Stipe. Dana gets his little Mexican champ back

Because we were all begging for this:

 

[the can]

reem heavyweight champ for sure!!!

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Stipe vs Overeem will be a good fight next. Stipe will win by later rounds TKO

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Overeem getting a title shot would be sweet. Watch Stipe KO the Reem with a jab.

 

[Lightfoot]

I think Stipe is going to have his hands full with Reem.

Obviously, Reem is susceptible to upsets, but he's beaten far better boxers than Stipe in his career. If he's firing on all cylinders like he was for JDS and AA, I think he makes Stipe look bad.

HAH! Overeem hasn't even fought any better boxers than Stipe, let alone beat one. Junior is the only case that can be made and Stipe avenges that loss eventually, too.

Stipe is division I, too, and way bigger. Cain gets owned standing even worse than he did against Werdum. Mid to Late TKO win for Stipe

Werdum got lucky the 1st time with Cain and actually with Hunt too...Reem/Cain/and both Stipe and JDS Knock out Werdum again ,its over as far as i can see for Werdum who didnt even defend the belt .Stipe vs Reem is definitely the fight to make and i will give Reem slight edge now,healthy Cain i would favor over either .

Reem handled Junior while taking almost zero damage. He also smashed Struve who boxed up Stipe on the feet. And he's fought people with far more dangerous hands in K-1, ie Hari. Stipe -could- catch him with something, there's always that chance, but he brings nothing to the table Alistair hasn't seen before.

Have you seen Overeems K1 fights? Not to start into an argument but Overeem has fought a killers row of stand up fighters. There literally is nothing new Stipe can bring to the table. Sure Stipe can win, he has the power but Overeem seems to be the clear favourite with a much more diverse attack arsenal. The JDS fights can be a good indicator. Battle with Stipe and one sided loss against Overeem. Mostly pure boxers like Stipe play right into Overeems advantages.

If this fight happens Stipe is a huge underdog in my opinion.

Advantages:
Clinch: Overeem +++
distance: Overeem with a wider arsenal of kicks and punches
ground: Overeem has the better ground game +
half distance: both are dangerous but even here Overeem has more weapons to launch from flying knee to a kick to counter hook.

Will be a great fight and should be the first european HW clash for the belt in the UFC.
