Alistair Overeem VS Brock Lesnar

[cog]

Tough talk from from you guys.They were powerful blows from a big man that knows how to use his knees.

[tex]

^^ I agree...i boxed amature for a bit in heavyweight class (200+)......a good connecting shot from a 250+, trained striker will hurt you.....

Watch the replay and Lesnars ace and eyes even in the pre fight show on sportsnet..he didn't want to fight that guy and had his mind made up about retirement and he took a few shots and said "**** this" and fell down and covered to wait for fight to be stopped..no effort to get up or defend..then just gets up without issues after stopped and tells corner hes fine..mentally he was never in it nor did he want to be in it. Took the fight for the cheque and bailed right away....never once do I doubt that knees and kicks hurt but watch it again closely from the walk out to the end...no game period

[cog]

He was likely scared....in any event powerful shots to the solar plexus can stop anybody....Overeem showed his striking abilities very well and he was just getting warmed up.I think Dos Santos must be concerned.

I agree with ya re, he's not an MMA fighter and it shows in every match

He really wasn't much of anything really. He was a good collegiate wrestler but that was it.

Failed at football
Failed at mma - anyone who says he actually succeed is a moron

He'll go back to WWE most likely just in time for wrestlemania... At least he won't have to worry about being punched lol


The *only* reason he got a shot in football or mma is A) his entertainment factor; and B) his size. Sadly both didnt matter one bit when it comes to sports requiring real athletic ability.

He was champion for awhile.Not a failure.

true true, hes just a big loud mouth imo

Overeem feels that Brock accomplished a lot in a short span of time.He made some good bucks and a lot of fighters are making much better money now.I would bet a lot of other fighters besides Overeem don't want to see him go.Given his relative lack of experience he did quite well.
