Basically 20lbs down on when he fought Brock and 10lbs from when he lost to Travis. Looks a lot leaner. Hopefully his cardio has gone through the roof and his punching speed too.

Well damn. I kind of saw it coming though. Overeem seems to leave himself wide open a lot of the time when he strikes, particularly with the knees. Doesn't feint or combo, just throws big single shots which aren't even setup with anything. Leaves his head completely open to counterstrikes. Very little defense. Soon as I saw that I knew he could be going down, especially considering his questionable chin and the power of Rothwell. Kind of a shame but I think he's pretty much done now. Should probably retire.

Not sure what Reem is doing. He seems to be going into fights way too confident and not bothering to defend. Maybe he's just getting too old, but I'd really love to see on form Reem again. Whether or not it can happen I really don't know. One thing is for sure though, Rothwell ate everything Reem threw at him with no issue at all.
Don't know why they keep insisting on giving us this muppet. Quite like the other guy though.. Luke Something?
He has been covering MMA for years.
Used to have a great podcast a couple of years ago.
heh :/ since the Bones vs Sonnen series for me - and even then the interest was primarily because of the coaches (well, Sonnen!
)The only series worth a watch was the very first one imo - reality TV (which I ordinarily hate!) is only interesting if people do what they are not supposed to do and since the UFC are trying like crazy to become a socially acceptable sport, they simply can't have guys hooning around, fighting and getting drunk because it reflects badly on the sport as a whole!
Difficult situation to promote TUF imo!
Indeed.
I thought Arlovski may suffer with his dodgy chin, but Bigfoot was so so slow, he went down like several bags of spuds

Mother of god...dat ass.
Was going to be rooting for Tate but I think Nakai has won me over now.
Hunt vs Nelson has the potential to be epic. Two heavy hitters with iron chins.
Glad this is starting at 9:30pm on BT sport so I don't have to stay up all night.

Indeed, doesn't need to wind up as much as the his opponent too.
Never thought I'd see the day of that out come given the amount of punishment we've seen him absorb before.
