HAHA All you Overeem HATERS!
Would you look at that, he showed up and made it look about as easy as it ever could have.
one big win a the fans and shrines are lining up. i don't mind it this time b/c i want
overeem to ktfo’d of fedor if he takes the fight. (meaning fedor takes the fight or fights somebody he could beat. lol.)

Lol @ every1 who really thinks he’s guna take fedor =D
by d*locc on May 16, 2010 1:28 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
nah im not jumping on his nuts, he just handles things in a manner that i can respect, we all said he was a roider and he came into america and defended his title, hes not being a dick about it either. and he has more balls then fedor or M-1 or whoever controls things with him..

Didn't reem weigh in at 265 ?
I never said they fought the same way. They’re both bout 6’4 6’5 , they’re both rocked as shit, & they both have a silly ass hair cut.

Alistair is both taller and more fit. Brock isn’t really anywhere close to being as fit and ripped as Alistair is.
someone else's success brings pain.
being ripped has no bearing on being fitter than someone else
i guarantee brock is fitter than overoids
why?
You guys fluently hang out at both their camps? Alistair had what 12 fights last 12 mos? Lol. I’d say he’s probs pretty fit. And year round I’d guess as well.

Brock is an athletic monster, I doubt Overeem is more fit
His fights are mostly very short.
Lesnar > [Carwin] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS]
watch the fight with lenar vs herring. they replayed it on the night of may 15th
he just smothered herring all fight long and just did damage to that guys body. i bet (herring)he could not even get out of bed for three or four days after that beating. i wonder if herring thinks fedor is better or lesnar is better?

i never hated Alistair and i respect him as a good fighter
But i just didnt like the fact that he looks like he juices. But he passed a US drug test so im going to lay off him. He wont be guilty in my book until he fails a test.
Open up the Shit Gates and where the Hell was Marv?
90% of hate is because of his meteoric rise from LHW to GIGANTIC heavyweight.
did he juice? of fucking course.
Has he been caught, ever? nope, INNOCENT until proven guilty.

loved him at dynamite, even though he wasnt a strong opponent, the knee to fujita was epic

i was so surprised
…at Fujita’s head after. I thought it exploded but he barely marked him. If that were me, he’d probs have had my brain in his hands after.

Cycling off is such a great thing. Ive never disliked him. I really want to see fedor vs werdum as i feel the way tobeet fedor is with submissions rather than attempting to trade w him, letting him get your timing down n throw that murderous lunging fedor right.

i think Overeem is a step backwards for Fedor
He needs to fight in UFC & fight some top heavyweights instead of fuckin around fighting second rate fighters
I don't know evil I think reem can give any HW in the ufc a run for their money!
He’s way better fighter than he was back in the day. He’s a beast & I wouldn’t count him out of any fight.

I am not saying I dislike him...
But Reem’s confident manner of speaking reminds me of Mir.
The Ultimate Warrior - Jesus Christ
by TapedUpPair on May 16, 2010 2:59 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Difference here being.....
Reem backs his confidence up in a convincing manner.
" Its a good thing you look good in that suit, cos that's all you're gonna be doing - wearing a suit."
So Far
Reem looks good so far, but I will go out on a limb (preparing for an assault)… Reem is definately strong, and I like his use of leg kicks, but as far as fine motor skills, I think Brock and 2Santos are at another level.
The Ultimate Warrior - Jesus Christ
Brock...........Are you for real, the dude is barely in the fight game, a few fights compared to Reems 40+.....
And no where fucking near Reem in any skill besides wrestling, gtfo with that shit.
"I just can't wait to hit Chuck with my balls!" ~Tito Ortiz.
open minded, ay?
IMO Brock changes levels quicker and showed that he can use his hands against Randy, Heath and Frank. I think, from an unemotional point of view, that Reem is so strong, intimidating, and is versatile enough with his strength that he looks more skilled than he is. Although Brock has only four professional fights, I dont feel the same. Sometimes you dont need 40 fights to assess talent or, more specifically, fine motor skills.
The Ultimate Warrior - Jesus Christ
Dude , The Reem beat Hari for fucks sake, if that doesn't require skill I don't know what does!
"I just can't wait to hit Chuck with my balls!" ~Tito Ortiz.
all the guys brock beaten hav more experience then does..
For what profit is it to man if he gains the world , and loses his own soul?
- Matthew 16:26
I'd bet Reem would kick all there asses (All of Brocs W's).....
Love him or hate him the guy is a skilled fighter, with tonnes of strenght and experience, both in MMA and K-1.
"I just can't wait to hit Chuck with my balls!" ~Tito Ortiz.
maybe, but im not ready to act like hes 100% proven just because one win, as far as im concerned hes 1-0..
For what profit is it to man if he gains the world , and loses his own soul?
- Matthew 16:26
Has Skill - Just Not as Much as Others
Reem is talented – I am just saying he doesnt move like some of the other top fighters. When you can take a punch and are strong as hell, sometimes you movement doesnt need to be as refined??? Brock seems to possess both strength and fluidity of motion – so does 2santos.

Peace Bro
I liked what I saw last night. I would love to see Carwin v Reem. Have a great night – off to the GYM – Reem has me feeling pretty small!

Ok dog, peace out...and btw...
Reem vs Carwin would be a great fight.

The Reem looked awesome, throwing Rogers around like a rag doll....
Boy I’m excited about Fedor vs Overeem….that would be the edge of your seat shit right there.
"I just can't wait to hit Chuck with my balls!" ~Tito Ortiz.

I now can’t decide between Fedor/Overeem and Borck/Carwin for what HW fight I would pick if I was only able to see one. Never ever see footage of the other. What would you pick?!?!

by daniel worby on May 16, 2010 6:16 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Brock/Carwin of course
Nothing to see in the other one, Fedor by sub first round.
Lesnar > [Carwin] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS]
Yep. Nothing to see here.
Brock/Carwin is going to be THE Fight to watch.
your name is borckrocks
So that’s kinda an obvious answer for you. And I’m not nearly as 100% as you guys. Fedor is my fave 3 with GSP, and Spider so if it weren’t for the fact Borck’s my most hated with Kos (who’s Mtl speech was hilarious) and Vera, then it’d be Fedors fight by a landslide.

You just get that sucker to the designated place at the designated time, and I will gladly designate his ass... for DISMEMBERMENT!
good show
i also like how alistar used his leg kicks and how he stayed relaxed throghout the fight. not jumping on the wagon yet but fedor is the only interesting fight. if it doesnt happen then whats the point… ufc is must.

Reem Coming Around
In the reverse of GSP’s statement: I was impressed by his performance. I didn’t think much of Overeem and was reluctant to put him in the top ten, but after he disposed of Rogers with ease, he has to be there, probably around #8.
You could say that Rogers was a question mark coming into the bout, but his loss to Fedor showed that he wasn’t a push over. Then Reem pushed him over.
All in all, it is good, because like some of the above people, I’ve been seeing him in interviews lately and think he comes off well. Now I really do want to see him fight Fedor. The Werdum fight is kinda of filler. Werdum is good, but not the kind of guy to really threaten Fedor.
i have to share this...
MMABay.co.uk poll asks “has alistar overeem done enough to deserve a fight against fedor next” ….yes or no..
my comment on their site:
this is the dumbest question i have ever heard asked..
has he done enough?? he is the damn champ for god sakes!!!
fedor deserves to fight the champ
are you guys stupid???
l'm not afraid of anybody. Especially not Nick Diaz. -GSP
The real question is why were you on that crap site to begin with?
"Kimbo Slice sucks like I've been saying for the last few months, this fucking guy can't fight and he got knocked out in 13 seconds" (Dana White)
"The one thing we know about Kimbo Slice, this guy is a fighter, this guy will come to fight" (Dana White)
i gotta say...
that site often does provide some quality MMA information before any other site has it….
but it is run by a bunch of grade A idiots
l'm not afraid of anybody. Especially not Nick Diaz. -GSP
Gimme the test results
And then we’ll talk.
Anderson Silva will fall via brutal Republican dry-humping.
That's what I am waiting for before saying anything on that topic...
Strikeforce said they are doing their own tests right after the weigh ins. In addition to that the athletic commission is doing random testing, which is most likely to test Overeem because it was a championship fight.
Lesnar > [Carwin] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS]
I don't think Fador will fight The Reem..
Fador has spent the last 3 years avoiding top talent in order to keep his record in tack. If it happens it’ll be amazing but the MMA game has moved on since Fador was so dominant and he hasn’t moved with it and he and his management know it hence the avoidance of the top level of today’s MMA elite (which some believe Fador still belongs to) . Rogers had Fador troubled in round 1 for God sake, Rogers was man handled by Overeem I believe M1 and Fador noticed this and will not take this fight, Overeem has already said Fador did not want to take this fight and that’s why Rogers stood up. Mark my words there will be some bullshit contract wrangling to stop this fight happening and Fador will carry on his unbeaten streak fighting today’s weaker opposition. We have seen the changing of the guard in the last few years from the Pride fighters to the current crop of fighters, the pride fighters are fading, it’s the natural cycle of things but Fador is running scared, scared of losing his mystique and legacy. Lets not forget that Overeem was well beaten TWICE by Shogun who in my mind is a naturally gifted fighter and amazingly well rounded and by The Iceman (when he was icy) ………………Sorry for the length it’s my first post and had a lot on my chest Hee Hee
Ummm....Are you intentionally mis-spelling Fedor's name?
Fedor is not a Fad. He’s an ice-cream man.
Clive Barnes
your statement is dead on… fedor will retire before he fights any legitimate fighter and he should be remembered for being a fight dodger…… not some great record that he does have……. please people dont start naming X ufc champs that he has beat,,,, the guy doesn’t fight the top contenders
its spelled fador because he is fading out of my memory by fighting losers
by canadastrong on May 16, 2010 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions
ya you guys! don't use legit reasons why fedor is #1
Cause Canadastrong and Clive aren’t listening. Don’t make up a reason for the guys spelling error. He’s weighing in on the topic without knowing enough to spell his 5 letter name right. No wonder you guys question his legitimacy, do you guys question Nog’s? Crocops? Nope. Up until 6 mos ago Nog was in title talk. Crocop was going to ‘be huge’ for the UFC. So cause they aren’t panning out and Fedor has beat both (Nog 2x) he is now non legit? Weird.
The real reason you guys think he’s ducked competition is because you haven’t watched long enough to know how legit guys like Crocop and Nog are/were. You just have heard how good they were and seen a couple highlights. If you knew you wouldn’t say what you’re saying.
Wow, so I proved that without bringing up the X champs list didn’t I? Weird.

Overeem didnt even break a sweat!
just watched the fight video and Rogers didnt seem to put any effort Into the fight.He seemed too conservative and not his aggressive self like he was In the Fedor fight.Maybe the KO by Fedor was still In the back of his mind and maybe thats what hurt him besides Overeem pounding on him.Looked like If I were fighting a pre-school kid.LOL

I am waiting for the test results to come back before I write a fanpost about the situation. Obviously he showed up, much respect.
Lesnar > [Carwin] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS]
overeem just got a boatload of new nut-swingers this weekend
tho, it is deserved, he has made lots of improvements since his pride days…though i cant imagine ANY fighter that doesnt feel at least SOME pressure to win..i mean, career success is all about wins(unless you are clay guida). And perhaps im just being pessimistic, but im not holding my breath for fedor/overeem..not as long as he is with m1, anyway
You just get that sucker to the designated place at the designated time, and I will gladly designate his ass... for DISMEMBERMENT!
still tho..there is no shame in losing to fedor, then overeem in your 11th and 12th fight….or 2nd and 3rd fight vs elite opponents ( or 1st and 2nd for all those that dont consider arlov elite anymore)….is this post overly confusing with all the #’s? haha
You just get that sucker to the designated place at the designated time, and I will gladly designate his ass... for DISMEMBERMENT!
cool
cool will be waiting for that….. respect to you too!!
Rankings...
Do you guys realize that with:
–Alistair beating Rogers (#9 and a #8 ranked fighters)
–With Alistair holding a major title (you guys seem to think titles mean quality)
–With the # 2 and the #3 ranked fighters fighting each other and therefore one will lose forcing thier rankings will drop
…that Alistair will probably be ranked # 5 in the world by the time he fights Fedor. Therefore if that fight happens Fedor would have fought 3 out of his last 4 against against top 5 ranked fighters and agreed to fight a 4th top 5 ranked fighter (Barnett). Also the non top 5 ranked fighter that Fedor did fight (and beat) was ranked all the way down to …#8?
Sorry boys but with the emergence of Alistair, Fedor’s legacy will be in tact for years. He’ll have 5 more fights in order face another top 5 ranked fighter and he will still be ahead on the industry standard of fighting #5 competition (industry average is that 2 out of every 5 fights by a top 5 ranked opponent is against another top 5 ranked opponent).
Sorry haters, back to hoping, praying, and wishing that Brock doesn’t go 3-2 (an amazing record) next month.
It’s like a nightmare isn’t it.
Thats if the Overeem fight ever happens Werdum proves nothing in that regard.
The only one I see hating is you striker, becasue some don’t think he’s the #1 doesn’t mean they are hating they just believe someone’s better. You talk like the ranking are facts when talking about Fedor but when talking about Brock they are BS if you don’t like the rankings striker don’t use them in Fedors defence and against it makes you sound hypocrtical. The fact is what current top five fighter has he faced I think AA proved he was never a top five fighter as any fan with any common sense could see that LOL.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
LMFAO
" The only one I see hating is you striker, becasue some don’t think he’s the #1 doesn’t mean they are hating they just believe someone’s better."
lMFAO. Yeah, nobody on this site is a Fedor hater..nobody. They all see him for what he has done and what he has continued to do.
Yeah, nobody doubts Fedor here. He would have to beat Carwin, Cain, and JDS to earn the respect that Brock gets…even though Brock hasn’t beaten them ever. He’s just the “champ”. LOL.
As far as the rankings go, I have said before, I don’t always agree with them but unlike many posters here don’t understand, if you don’t agree with something, it doesn’t mean it goes away. The rankings do exist, so I look at them. Sorry if the evidence (provable facts) supports one fighter being ranked one way and the only thing that supports other fighters rankings is the so called “common sense”. Sorry but on these boards common sense, isn’t so common.
“The fact is what current top five fighter has he faced I think AA proved he was never a top five fighter as any fan with any common sense could see that LOL.”
At the time he fought AA, AA was ranked #2,
At the time he fought Sylvia, Sylvia was ranked #5
At the time he signed to fight Barnett, Barnett was ranked #2
At the time he fought Rogers, Rogers was # 8
At the time he fights Werdum, werdum will be ranked ???
If he fights Overeem, AO will likely be > top 6.
Fedor can’t keep the guys that he beats ranked high, he can only fight them when they are in front of him. When they are in front of him they are all ranked higher than any group any other fighter has faced in the last two years. If they lose after he fights them, it’s not his fault.
Puck, I know you will have a hard time understanding that I am not hypocritical on this subject. you are just not believing in the provable facts. If a list comes out and says 1+2=3, and 2+2=4, and so on. But then this list has 3+2=6. Then, I don’t agree with that list of equations. Parts of it are right, just not all. That’s how I feel about the MMA rankings. I don’t agree with it as a whole list, but since I have facts to back up Fedor’s rankings, that part seems to be accurate.
“The only one I see hating is you striker”
Classic mania response. The logic is there on poster X’s statement but since it doesn’t agree with you, you turn the argument towards them instead of their logical statement. It’s hilarious watching you drown in logic, Puck.
Jsut casue you type a lot doesn't prove anything
Time has proven AA and Sylvia were ranked too high and thats the truth striker. They were good HW’s for a period but but never top five even when they had a belt. You can go on and on about how they were ranked as this and taht but as time went on and it’s it’s not that long ago these fighter proved they were ranked too high at the time and makes your MMA math less accurate.
Now let me say this I think Fedor is the greatest HW ever and right now deserves the #1 ranking but I feel there is fighters that have a good shot at beating him that doesn’t make me or anyone else that feels he would lose to X fighter a hater. Many fighters that I like I have pick their oppoents to win.
By your same math Brock beating two number three ranked fighters in a row with a #11ish ranked fighter in the middle and Barnett following out of the #2 spot. Now by your math you should not be complaining about Brocks ranking it’s that simple. Like I stated above Fedor deserves the #1 spot not by his latest performances but his entire history including his latest fights witch has much more depth than any top five HWbesides NOG if he’s on there.
Overeem should be in the top 8 for sure and I would enjoy watching that fight thats for sure as I stated the best fighter I think Fedor has faced since Pride in my opinion is Rogers and Overeem made Rogers look bad.
And Yes Striker I think Brock could beat both those guys as I do Carwin but thats just my opinion and until it ever happens thats all it’s going to be is an opinion regardless of how they are ranked now. I’m a fan and I will admit I’m not always right but really who is? I’m a fan of Rogers and thought he would beat Overeem but I was wrong big time and I think that goes for putting to much credit on Rogers in the AA fight as AA proved he is not a top ten fighter so his number 2 status was proven to be BS like many thought when it was.

No
"Time has proven AA and Sylvia were ranked too high and thats the truth striker"
No, time has proved that they couldn’t stay ranked that high. The truth is that they were ranked that high when they fought Fedor.
Is Crocop still in the Top 3? Or has history proven that he was never really in the top three because of what his doing now. No on both. Sorry dude, rankings change over time, not because they were wrong, but because the fighters age and their abilities change.
Good try on rewriting history.
Thanks Overeem
for exposing the pretender that is Brett Rogers. Thanks for the low key comments prior to the fight knowing your cage game would speak volumes. Thanks for coming into the fight in what appeared to be good shape. Thanks for having a pretty well rounded game. And thanks for dominating a guy who really didn’t belong in there with you.
