SaintPeter5858 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Chuck Lidell is already retired. But just like Couture, he can always come back siguro Quote Link to comment
StaticJess Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Correct me if needed but I recall JDS' takedown percentage is the highest amongst the UFC. From his championship bout, Cain tried to shoot twice or three times and got stuffed, was discouraged and decided to trade which the outcome didn't turn to favor him. Though Mir is more versed on the ground over JDS, Santos' right is ridiculous. He's also got a tough chin never to have been stunned so that works for him as well. We all know Mir is NOT going to try and trade with Dos Santos. I can't wait... I agree with you, I think Mir's chances of winning are greater when the fight is taken in the ground than standing with JDS. This is a blockbuster fight and I can't wait to watch it but wikipedia and UFC news states: "Mir is expected to face Cain Velasquez on May 26, 2012 at UFC 146 in a number 1 contender's match for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. However on 4 April, 2012 Alistair Overeem tested positive in a pre fight drug test and though Mir was thought to be considered to replace Overeem, Dana White stated publicly that the Mir-Velasquez fight is still happening despite Overeem likely being dropped from his fight with JDS. " The JDS vs Reem fight is way better than JDS vs Mir but nevertheless I enjoy each and every match-up in that heavyweight card. Can't wait! I wonder who will replace Reem? Or are they gonna pull-out JDS instead? Quote Link to comment

SaintPeter5858 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Inaabangan ko pa naman ang Dos Santos vs. Overeem For me, Junior has an advantage based on paper Quote Link to comment
SaintPeter5858 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 At 12-2, I;m still hoping that Mark Munoz can have a title fight soon Quote Link to comment
StaticJess Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) For me, Junior has an advantage based on paper 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. Edited April 11, 2012 by StaticJess Quote Link to comment
