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

[I_IZ_BACK]

Miocic by superior cardio, late TKO in the 4th or by outpointing Overeem the get the decision win. Either way, it's gonna be another W for Stipe!

 

[Zvengeance]

Reem by leg kicks and eventually tko.

 

[j18lee]

It's going to be 5 rounds of point fighting. The "new" Reem is too hesitant and will not pull the trigger and Stipe will stand in the center and jab in the air.

Anything is possible, but this fight going five round will be one of the least likely possibilities.

Out of 9 UFC fights that Overeem has been in, 7 were finishes. Last two were finishes.

Miocic's last three fights have all been KO's.

If you truly believe this, place a bet on it, you'll get excellent odds.

Overeem gets the belt easily.

I love random posts. Those shoes are butt ugly though...

Overeem has never beaten an elite fighter at his peak.

Miocic via TKO

Badr Hari?

 

[robjenkins2]

Great fight and hard to predict. Reem is better in the clinch and at long range, Stipe better at boxing range. Reem is the better grappler imo, Stipe better cardio. Coin flip fight really.

 

[Redhawks100]

Badr Hari?

in MMA?

It's going to be really awkward for all the Cleveland fans when this ends up being Cain vs. Overeem for the interim title, or something lol.

You could argue Vitor, Werdum and JDS.

 

[Redhawks100]

You could argue Vitor, Werdum and JDS.

I'd say Werdum has improved since then. JDS is no longer at his peak. So maybe Belfort.

 

[TJC]

I think Stipe gets the TKO midway through round 2.

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

can't believe so many people are picking EconoReem

CHIN His chin is shit

CARDIO He always gasses

WRESTLING not as good as Stipe


I mean he has a chance, but on paper MIocic has all of the advantages

 

[Hanuman Thayarn]

It's going to be 5 rounds of point fighting. The "new" Reem is too hesitant and will not pull the trigger and Stipe will stand in the center and jab in the air.

Right, just like his recent fights vs Struve, JDS and AA.


I am super pumped for this fight, should be a good one!
I think its a matter of who catches the other guy first, both can KO each other. I would have to give a slight edge to Overeem since he is the more technical striker but not an easy one to pick.

 

[JohnWick]

Overeem's time is now.

 

[dc007]

as always i pick against overeem because he will get clipped

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Stipe via KO

ill just be glad to be going to an event close to home.

Stipe isnt a dealbreaker for me to attend.

i wouldnt mind seeing cain too. Haha

 

[neverwas]

i havesaid it before and i will say it again,overeem will win the title,now we know when.

 

[Sasori]

Hoping for Overeem to finally take that belt. Glad they made the fight and it's quick, big up for heavyweight champs that actually will fight and defend more then once a year!

 

[MustangSally]

Mehh, where's the 'the fight won't happen due to injury' option?

It's 4 months away, most heavyweight title fights seem to get cancelled, so I won't get excited until I actually seem them in the cage
