Bring back soccer kicks and knees to a ground opponent. I miss the days of huge heavy weights like Mark Kerr and Goodridge weighing in at 250s all muscle. Now all we get are tons of light weights and "gentleman's agreements" before fights (i.e. Davis vs Lytle, Frank Sham vs. Lee) or even more bs like Ken Sham vs. Kimbo. My point? Oh yah, so what is Overeem shoots up. Many fighters especially in light hvy weight and up do. I just wonder how he will do with the cage and no knee to grounded opponent. Lets hope he is roiding up.

He should face one of the top 4 HW's. Big nog is perfect, then maybe Loser of Mir/Lesnar, then the champ................. Hilarious fanboyism…….

the guy is Strikeforce HW Champ
Pride Veteran

Easily. But as impressive as his win over Hari was, I cant be the only one who expected it. I predicted he would win on decision though. With that in mind, I'm looking forward to seeing him face Remy (my fave K-1 fighter). Badr Hari is good, but he isnt as cerebral as Remy - watch the K-1 GP 2008 final - so Overeem would likely have a tougher fight. Either way, in both K-1 and UFC, I can see him putting a lot of favoured guys on their behinds. I like Overeem, I rate him as a top 5 MMA fighter in the world right now. Easily.

I don't think it's far fetched that he put in the other 20-30 lbs in muscle. His frame definitely supports HW much more then him being shriveled up at 205...

You don't get to the level of fighting in both K-1 and MMA by being scared of your opponents. Absolutely ridiculous. Cro Cop was at no point “scared” against Overeem .

How about Overeem vs. Big Nog in his debut? I still cant get over the sight of him completely dominating Cro Cop. Cro Cop looked scared and wanted nothing to do with a rematch .

Is that even naturally possible? Either way, Overeem is a complete beast and he would be a handful for ANYONE in the UFC. How does anybody pack on 40 pounds of muscle in just two years???

I would love to see him fight in north america so we would be able to see him more. and id love to see how he would stack up to guys like Fedor, Mir(who im still not really sold on but looked good last time out) an Brock lesnar who I see as the benchmark for the progression of the Hw division. if he signs with the ufc id like to see him first fight up and commer Cain Valasquez to gauge exactly what lvl he is at in MMA then it off to a Chamionship match for the winner of that fight. but regardless how it goes ill be watching overeem fight for years to come.
