This guy Ali.. Over .. what? thinks he can handle someone who did that is crazy maybe I'll believe it when he fights some more creditable fighters with the exception of a going down hill cro-cop. He has lost to everyone who has been in UFC. Except Buentello but who doesnt beat him. Brock just beat the greatest man alive RANDY COUTURE! This guy Ali..

They only naturally grow big in the United States, and everyone else has to cheat to get that size and speed. Its odd that sports in the US have issues with steroid abuse (Baseball, Football, etc....), but other nations don't have those problems. Yet when it comes to MMA everyone outside of the states is juicing because no way could they be just as capable of adding and dropping weight as fighters from America. Uneducated fight fans who spread conjecture One of my Top 5 favorite dumb statements in threads:

Overeem dominated Cro Cop and cut him while utilizing brutal ground and pound before landing a couple questionable knees in the clinch that caused the Croatian to decide he was no longer able to continue. 2. In the pairs previous meeting Overeem managed to take the Croatian to the canvas with relative ease. While in the top position, Overeem was able to dish out plenty of damage in the form of short punches and hammerfists that caused a nasty cut above Cro Cop’s eye. Cro Cop looked to be nearing the end in his bout with Overeem before he was struck with a questionably low knee that caused him to feel as if he could not continue. I think in an article less than 500 words, one re-cap is good. And spelling mirko right. I can proof read if you need.

I mean seriously.... And of course Overeem is going to say he would beat Lesnar. What is he going to say? "Oh yeah, the guy is faster and more powerful than I am, and a better wrestler...oh sure, I'd lose." The outcome of any fight is up in the air until the fight actually happens. And there is no man who cannot be beaten, period. However, if Alistair wants to prove himself, just don't talk about it, come to the UFC and prove it. I seriously think that even if Brock Lesnar was to KO Fedor there would be the whiners who would cry "He didn't deserve a shot, he's just a WWE wrestler". Pitiful.

He's a quality fighter with a big future, but dammnit why spout off shit like this? He clearly hit Mirko with 2 huge low blows, how can anyone expect a fighter to continue after that... “I’m 100% sure I would have finished him if the fight wasn’t called off,” said Overeem. “I think he knew he was losing and took the easy way out.”

It wasn't my intention to make it appear as if Cro Cop had quit in his match Overeem. I think the phrasing of the sentence could make it seem as if I believe Cro Cop took the easy way out but nowhere in my article do I say that and that is not my personal opinion. Overeem says "I think he knew he was losing and took the easy way out" which paints the entire article in a certain light and it is my job to tell his story whether I agree with it or not.
