Welcome to Cain's era.

I like Overeem I just don't see what he brings to the table that is better than JDS? Maybe more diverse striking but nothing on the ground.

Why do you dislike bigfoot?

His big advantage IMO is his strength and technique in the clinch and his kicks/knees.

In the JDS fight, Cain was shooting wildly and wading in slowly to clinch. That's fine against JDS because he's a boxer who always plants his feet, so Cain only had to worry about two fists.

Against Reem, he's going to have to worry about catching a knee coming in. He's not safe on the outside and he's taking a huge risk when he tries to close the distance.

If there is an overeem era does that not tell u how shit it is?? The guy is a bigtime juicer who did nothing in pride! (he should be banned for life!) Velasquez is the MMA equivalent of chris arreola.

Long live Pride:

I like cain and jds both. I never really saw them as a threat to overeem. I think overeem is the definition of evolving mma. People can accuse him of peds but is there anybody more committed to physical combat than this guy? He has gone through mma organization and took titles away. Ufc is his next stop. I think only bjj could stop overeem but in todays heavyweight era, bjj is a lot less effective in the division.
