Lesnar vs Overeem Nov. 30th!

Guida vs Bendo i'm hoping is for the no.1 contender spot because Guida deserves that chance. I'm going with with Guida he is a badass!

Ufc 135 Sanchez out with an injury Koscheck in against Hughes.

Yea, agree, Clay deserves a crack after his dominant showing against Pettis.

Gutted for Diego, just read a piece about him yesterday being ripped off by a so called mate, and him going off the rails after the BJ defeat.
Seems to have got himself back together, going back to Greg Jacksons camp, shame, was looking forward to that match. Hope Hughes smashes Josh, the lad's a complete tool !

I see Overeem/Lesnar going pretty much like JDS/Lesnar. Overeem may not have JDS's boxing but he is a much more accomplished striker. The Guida/Bendo fight should be dynamite. Other than Cruz I can think of two fighters that are more active in the octagon.

Too bad we didn't see JDS vs Brock otherwise we would have abetter idea of how the fight will got.

Your right...I meant JDS vs Carwin

I thought so, i don't think you can compare Carwins wrestling with Brock's because he doesn't really use it whereas Brock does when things aren't going his way on the feet so Overeem is going to need his takedown defence to be very good to keep it on the feet. I mean in the JDS fight Carwin didn't really want to get it down to the ground and wasn't persistant to get it there but i think Brock would just keep going at it to get it down.

While Brock's wrestling is top notch I just haven't seen him incorporate it very well into MMA. His wins have come largely from overwhelming people with his physicality (Couture, Herring, Mir 2). He did have some good takedowns the first time with Mir but for having the wrestling pedigree he has he has not used it like say Sonnen. Lastly between Carwin and Cain the guy is very hittable. With his lack of true mixed martial arts and standup defense I just don't see him being able to beat a solid veteran like Overeem. If he can get the fight down he can dish out some serious punishment so he has a shot. Maybe Overeem will gas like Carwin

I agree with that and no was is Overeem getting gassed! He can do the three rounds easy I mean watch him training...
