I'm conflicted. Brock came off as a real asshole on TUF and I honestly just don't like him. But all my friends drool over Overeem like he's the God of MMA and I just can't bring myself to not root against him.

Gotta turn chicken shit into chicken salad, brah

 

[parrotbeak]

When did UFC turn into a camp-fest. It used to be amazing, sumo vs kick boxer, gracie vs all the sand. Now it's just guys with breasts.

Man, I thought Brock came off as pretty likable on TUF. His team was almost completely untalented outside of Ferguson yet filled to the brim with arrogance. Brock ended up coaching them pretty well and somehow got guys like Clay Harvison and Chris Cope signed to UFC contracts.

I don't know if Brock has it in him to survive another beatdown, this time by a bigger guy.

I predict Brock will dance capoeira.

 

[alr1ght]

It all depends on if Reem stuffs Brock's first shot or not. That will tell the tale.

Round 1:
* Brock's goes for the takedown *
* He gets it *
* Reem guillotine's him *

Stuffed with a knee.

 

[parrotbeak]

Round 1:
* Brock's goes for the takedown *
* He gets it *
* Reem guillotine's him *

*Reem realizes Brock has no neck
*Gets tko'ed.

Alternate version:

* Brock goes for takedown
* gets kneed in face
* Capoeira time!
* Reem chases
* Brock fakes a capoeira kick and throws up a desperation flying inverted triangle
* Brock's intestines explode, killing everyone cage side

That's my bet on where the fight will head. If Brockzilla doesn't bust out his patented capoeira I will be sorely disappointed.

LMAO MMA has only gotten better.

this era was fun tho

Ok, here is my real prediction.

Both come out very tentative. Brock fakes takedown attempts and throws some right hands. Reem jabs and circles. Crowd starts to boo. Goldie takes a "bathroom" break to do some more lines so he can shout for 25 minutes. Rogan talks about Reem's underrated ground game and his K1 experience, but that Brock is a huge viking and if he gets a hold of him it could be all over. Round 1 ends.

Round 2, continue to throw jabs and circle. Getting sleepy. Crowd booing. Brock goes for takedown, Reem sprawls and holds him off at first but finally goes down. Holds him tight and gets stood up. More jabs. Rd 2 ends.

Round 3, future is too sleepy to see clearly.

 

[dream]

I'm expecting a lot of wall and stall.

 

[Chamber]

Obligatory

 

[alr1ght]

Ok, here is my real prediction.

5 ROUNDS

they'll both gas out in round 2.5

That's as bleak as they come. Wouldn't that be something though... Dana keeps telling us IT'S THE FIGHT OF THE YEAR!!!! FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS OF BLAH BLAH BLAH and it's the most boring fight in MMA history.

Of all the divisions, heavyweight is the one that doesn't hesitate to let me down, though. Wouldn't put it past these two, especially after Overeem's last fight.

There's no way I will make it through 5 rounds.

 

[Diprosalic]

i don't know how i always get hyped for HW fights even though they suck.

I don't think Brock is going to flop around and try to pull guard. Just a hunch.

Come back in a couple weeks for the real striker vs. wrestler match up.

Seriously, it depresses me that Aldo/Mendes will do 200k on ppv. Not even Brittney can save that PPV. ):

 

[parrotbeak]

Ok now everyone's expectations are low, the fight will be the best hw fight ever.

This ass could save any pay-per-view.

It's kinda Aldo's fault for being so fucking underwhelming.

lol

Wouldn't matter if he was still knocking out people Cub Swanson style. He's a featherweight who doesn't speak English against a wrestler with no personality. Plus the non USA and Canada PPV's always do horrible numbers.

142 is doomed unless Brittney and Arianny do a live striptease in the cage.

If by some freak accident Brock wins you better make my avatar so stupid that I laugh every time I post.

Yeah, he was pretty freaking awesome when he was fighting lesser men, but now his shit's more *gasp* technical. I have enjoyed the past few fights, but since we don't have FLYING DOUBLE KNEE TKO's anymore I understand where you are coming from. It's all downhill from that, since you can't top that shit. Ever.

I would post a good Youtube but the only one I found was shit quality.

I didn't watch that one but I watched his interview with Cerrone and he had nothing bad to say about the brothers.

I wonder what sports he played.

Well he was talking about MMA. So I guess we have another member in the MMA threads Athlete section.

Yeah, Aldo/Hominick might have been my FOTY up until Shogun/Hendo and I thought Aldo/Florian was pretty good too. But you're right, it's nothing but downhill once you've ko'd someone via Tiger Destruction.

War Overeem. Those knees are glorious.

all you wrestling fans just don't want to see no damn fights.

Show me a Diaz interview that isn't hard to listen to. Actually.... don't.

cute coming from a GSP fan.

i've been saying all along that brock is going to tko reem and bounce his head like a basketball with his canned hams.

gotta admire Nate's situational awareness. who knows when you might get jumped in the middle of an interview.

 

[ShaneB]

He's constantly checking around, lol. I think he's nervous the cops are gonna bust in the place and take him down and book him.

Jesus he rambles on, I'm surprised I got through the whole interview.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Maybe its drug induced paranoia. I think I am having some at the moment, being aware of it is kinda cool though.

 

[Phat Michael]

I guess we will find out if Brock is over his fear of getting hit yet. My guess is no

This. Also, overeem hits harder than anyone in the HW division, yes even Carwin(I never got where that myth came from).

Although you can never discount Brock - i think Reem takes this and grabs his 4th belt.

If brock gets the bullrush single or double,then overeem better have a decent sprawl or he could be in trouble.

However if brock rushes in and gets taken out with a knee or a guillotine...then hes done for.

Probably the most exciting fight of the year to close it out - i cant wait. Although the sherdog forums are going to blow up after this fight more than the fedor/werdum fight.

I completely agree. I wasn't sure what to expect with that season, but both Brock and Dos Santos came off as great guys---almost made it hard to root against either.
