Why Couldn't Brock beat Overeem?

[Dont Frye]

Too much Pride?

Hopefully Brock takes DC downtown for Ground N Pound.

That was 16:1 ubereem. Thats HW GOAT.

 

[My2Cents]

He doesn’t like uberknees in the gut

 

[Gabe]

Reem kneed him right in his diverticulitis.

He got kicked in his surgically repaired stomach.........

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Ubereem was fully leveled up. He could not be stopped.

 

[Ancient Warrior]

Maybe he’s not that good?

 

[Bboy]

He was coming off this whole diverticulosis thing I believe. Plus he’s never been a good striker

 

[Frankie Baby!]

It was Prime Horse Meat Ubereem, no one beats that fucker.

 

[Taric]

Brock is 5-4.

 

[TRUS8888]

Brock was just cashing out. He knew he was fucked and seriously handicapped with his gut disease.

But posters of a jacked white dude vs a jacked black dude sell and I'm sure he was well paid for the beating he took.

you don't '

you don't "come off" diverticulitis, its disables you for life. If Cormier doesn't start laying body shots into Brock in round 1 then it is fixed.

 

[MusclesMarinara]

He had like half an intestine at the time.

If Werdum had 5 rounds and didn't flop so much early in the fight, he could have beaten Overeem in their second matchup (right in the middle of the period when Overeem was at peak doping). Overeem didn't look all that convincing that night.

Well, the point is that he was far from invincible. He also got stopped by sub-elite fighters before USADA even started. Overeem was never invincible despite how much he was doping.

 

[WARinsertname]

Reem could do it all and was the first imposing figure Brock met in action. Brock saw that his one and only shot at winning got taken away from him with double underhooks and stiff knee.

Immediately lost all heart and hope of winning. You could see it in his face. Cocky all the way in, then THAT happened and you could see the "Awe fuck!" look on his mug.

The thing is, if Brock had swung at that chin he might have had a 50/50 chance of winning that fight.

The answer is that Overeem had solid takedown defense and had a ton of firepower on the feet. That's more than enough to beat Lesnar.

Brock cant beat anyone that is as big as him and he cant bully around. He tried to take Overeem down and couldnt. Dont think he woulda beat Randy if he was bigger either.

Brawk isn't some elite striker, stuff his take downs and keep up the pressure and he breaks.
