UFC 203 – Saturday, September 10th – Stipe Miocic vs. Alistair Overeem (Poll)

[johncola]

Overeem either outstrikes him or gets caught at some point. His chin will always be a liability. I'll go with Overeem by body kick KO

Cain lost to Werdum in Mexico.
Werdum lost to Stipe in Brazil.
So will Stipe lose to Overeem in Cleveland?

Nice effort. I guess it kind of makes sense, but I'm usually last to catch on. My mom says I'm retarded.

 

[melvinj0]

I think Miocic takes its, really looking forward to this.

Reem's chin won't hold up against Stipe's power.

 

[Yung Dilla]

Reem is the better striker but as usual it's his chin that's the question not his skill set.

 

[Kinger85]

It's the UFC Heavyweight Title.

Hot Potato.

Alistair.

 

[aali14]

It's always unpredictable with Reem now, the guy has the skills to beat anyone but his chin won't hold up. It depends if Stipe can land a clean shot or not.

 

[Diggem]

Overeem will run right over Stipe. Overeem wins by TKO,KO or SUB in the first round or early second round. Overeem will be the most decorated HW MMA and GOAT if he wins and defends the belt twice.

I want Overeem to win but voted Stipe! Home town crowd (albeit Cleveland) and the fact that he's got great boxing and wrestling. I'd love for JacksonReem to pick him apart and maybe stop him late but I think Stipe will use the pressure JDS should've used and will hit that chin

 

[Huligani]

50/50 fight

 

[Hanz_Blitz]

Overeem will run right over Stipe. Overeem wins by TKO,KO or SUB in the first round or early second round. Overeem will be the most decorated HW MMA and GOAT if he wins and defends the belt twice.

Three times just to solidify that

I love Reem, but it's hard to be that confident when one knock on the chin can do him in. Always at the edge of my seat with Reem fights.

Well, I totally understand the fact that it's unable to make it all the way to UFC 205. We all do agree that Miocic is a great figher but his popularity isn't big enough to headline one of the most upcoming event in the history of UFC. Unlike years ago where HW used to stand in the spotlight zone, I'm still remember the time where both Cain vs Dos Santos was what Dana refer as the best they are able to deliver on that time.

Anyway, let's get into business: Who will has the higher chance to walk out as the HW champion?

Just a simple breakdown between these two great fighters:
Striking : Overeem
Chin : Miocic
Octagon control : I would say Overeem
Grappling : Overeem
Cardio : Should be equal

If Overeem stay alert all the time by avoiding all those heavy strike from Miocic while constantly deliver hard punch towards him, he might find himself at the crack of Miocic by either late of R2 or early R3.

Prediction : Overeem by TKO at late R2.

Reem deserves it.
Slight edge to Overeem for me,but Miocic can KO him too.

 

[Cooliox]

Stipe definitely has the ability to stop The Reem with the first good punch he lands. I think Overeem starts out strong and cautious but gets countered with a 1-2 and goes to sleep.

 

[Redhawks100]

Overeem has never beaten an elite fighter at his peak.

Miocic via TKO

A funny fact for this fight:

Both of them finished off AA in a dominant fashion..............
I don't seen AA as the gatekeeper, but it's just way too coincidence, haha.

 

[Inverse]

Hard fight to pick.
