Ring rust is real, but cardio that can't last 2 round is a joke. Thing is Mayhem went 5 rounds against Shields and didn't gas this bad.

He is much better than he showed in this fight, but seems Dana isn't even sure he will give him another shot from some of the things he has been saying.

Good performance from Bisping, would have liked to see him get a proper finish though. He should have been able to the state Mayhem was in.

On a different note Dodson looked awesome! The lil dude has some serious power!
 
Dana should just give him a straight up title contendership fight against one of the top dogs in the division and see if he rises to the occasion. He's had what, 14 or so fights in the UFC and still nowhere near a title shot. Either Dana wants to save his best British fighter, or they don't think he can compete at the top.

He has lost to any big name he has been given Evans, Silva and Henderson. Don't get me wrong there is no shame losing to any of them they have all held belts at some point.

I don't like him, but he is a talented fighter but I don't think he will ever hold the belt at MW or any other weight actually. An middleweight is the weakest division.
 
We wont know untill we see it. Even then it would take 2-3 matches to see what would really happen as anything can happen in mma. Guess that makes the sport so exciting

Would probable just end up in a hugging match on the ground if they can get him down. Bisping has great takedown defence and is very strong.

Oh yes, Chael and Munoz well known for hugging people on the ground :/
 
Yeah I saw that, yet Evans said something about rape to Davis regarding the college he went to and he just got a fine.

Forrest did the same and got a telling off.

Joe Rogan told another rape joke and nothing.

My picks.

Bones
Mir
Nog
 
Bones will have to move up to HW at some point, he has said this himself he is still growing and as he fills out he won't make 205.

He still has reach on all the heavyweights, but I don't see him being as successful at that weight, as his size advantage is diminished.

I think the only way someone at 205 will beat him is if they are a better wrestler than he is, if they can take him down and control him, his huge standup advantage due to his length is negated.

Is there anyone at 205 who can currently do this? I don't know. Rashad seems to think he used to hold him down during sparring, and Phil Davis has a good shout at being a better at least on paper wrestler than Jones.
 
I'm not really sold on Brock's amazing wrestling personally, he out wrestled Mir, but Mir has never shown any hint of any wrestling.

Struggled taking down a tiny (in comparison) Couture, who at one point even took him down.

Cain was taken down, but got straight up again.

I'm sure Overeem is working hard on his wrestling for this fight.

I actually think Brock might KO him on the feet, he has big power and Reem hasn't the best chin in the world, and if you watch his fights does get hit often too.

That being said, I'll still take Reem by TKO.
 
I watched the weigh in this morning and noticed this at the time, luckily someone got a pic of it.


I have work tomorrow morning at 6am :/
Going to have my dinner goto bed and try and get some sleep, hop over to my sisters for 2 watch the fight and then in work for 6 haha. Some coffee will most definitely be needed, luckily I can be done work by about 12.

*edit*

Regards to Brock not being so calm, in the press conf the other day he came across a complete ass tbh.
Overeem has said himself though this is like his 60th fight or something stupid so he has been there, seen it, done it all it's not new to him anymore where as really this is brocks 6th fight? Probably why Reem looks incredibly more relaxed and laid back.

Make that 3AM, they have moved the time back to where it used to be.
 
I think Reem is going to underestimate JDS and get knocked out.

That's my opinion, JDS has serious power and a big speed advantage. His all around striking isn't as good as he mostly just boxes, but his hands to me look way better than Reems.
 
It's the way Reem defends that worries me, watch some of his fights both MMA and K1, he uses a peekaboo guard which works in k1 due to the size of the gloves but not so much in MMA.

He may now be Ubereem, but his chin hasn't put on muscle.

For the record I don't mind who wins, I like both Reem and JDS.
