Inaabangan ko pa naman ang Dos Santos vs. Overeem

 

For me, Junior has an advantage based on paper

[SaintPeter5858]

At 12-2, I;m still hoping that Mark Munoz can have a title fight soon

Not criticizing your pick but I think Overeem has the upper hand here. JDS main weapon is his elite mma boxing and his takedown defense. He has skills in BJJ, Wrestling and shows good technique in the clinch but he prefers the stand up game and by letting his hands go. On the other hand he hasn't fought a guy who is so good in the distance game and uses both his arms and legs excellently and accurately. Remember kicking distance needs more distance than arm distance. Reems kicks will reach JDS before his punches reach Reems. I feel Overeem has the better experience and technique on the stand-up than JDS.

 

I think the only person that has a chance to beat Reem is the guy who has quick and powerful greco/freestyle wrestling/judo takedown techniques and has an excellent submission game. He's on top of his striking game right now.

Very nice opinion Bro. Overeem is of course a highly rated fighter that's why he was chosen to battle it out against Dos Santos

In the featherweight division, Jose Aldo is truly amazing!

[kuya willie]

He is the current champion of that division.

Just in case, Dominck Cruz and GSP will have the best record in UFC soon.

[BrightestStar]

Who will be GSP's next opponent?

Who will be GSP's next opponent?

 

Carlos "Pitty-Pat Hitter" Condit. I would have loved the Diaz fight through. GSP has a lot more tools to win than Condit. I'm picking GSP by decision.

Gustafsson over Thiago Silva later. Have nothing against Thiago, but thinking that the ring rust is going to play a factor for sure this time.

 

Stann over Sakara. More tools to pull off a win.

[MVP3]

Go Brandon Vera! Can you still fight?

This is an excellent card. I think the main event is a pick em fight. both fighters have tremendous power. I want Thiago to win this one. He's got experience and power in his arsenal. Just can't get over with his performance in the Evans and Vera fights where he hurt them both badly. When he gets in the cage and starts banging he can knock anyone out in the division.

 

I think Stann can pull it off too. Sakara's ring rust might be a factor in this one.

Thiago looked rusty. Ditto Sakara. Siyar (still can't say or spell his last name, give me about another week) the Afghan fighter looked good against Paulo Thiago. Great addition to '70 and hope he can sustain a run and challenge for the title eventually.

Gustafsson has a wrestling background but you are right, it hasn't been showcased all that much. Thinking that if Bones gets past Rashad, one more win by Gustafsson against a contender would allow him to challenge for the belt.

Yeah man, but man Silva a tough S.O.B.! Gustafsson had the right gameplan which is to stick and move.

 

@nick fury

I think still too early for Gustafsson for a title shot but the big problem is that this division has been almost wiped clean by BONES man!

He's beaten Machida, Bader, Rua and Rampage. I think he's gonna stomp Evans as well. After Evans (if Jones wins?) I think Gustafsson can be included in the list of people Jones hasn't fought yet like Hendo, Lil Nog, Griffin (If he beats Ortiz) and Phil Davis.
