Holy shit, this is the kind of fight I would murder a relative to see.

Overeem is gonna put Lesnar out of the UFC
Can't wait for that Strikeforce card this Saturday either, Barnett is my pick to win it all. Kharitonov is no joke though. Neither is Bigfoot.

hoping the UFC signs Werdum & Big Foot. would love to see Fedor in there but its too late...and even if fedor went on a winning streak against some good fighters dana seems to hate fedor.
so i guess winner of this will face the winner of Velasquez vs. Dos Santos.

Does Overeem drop the Strikeforce title now that he's in the UFC?

Does Overeem drop the Strikeforce title now that he's in the UFC?
Strikeforce cut him before this so it has been vacant for a month or 2 now. as is the Light Heavy Weight title & Welterweight. Im pretty certain that Strikeforce is going to be done by the end of next year. i guess whoever wins the grand prix will take the spot. but it seems wrong that Fabricio Werdum isnt in the picture for it as i have him ranked as the #1 heavyweight in Strikeforce but he lost to overeem and has to try again i suppose. but 4 of the top 5 heavyweights are in this tournament so i cant hate.
and ya the card is dope. even some of the prelims are top notch.
Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs. Mike Kyle should be great. there isnt much info on de Lima but i have seen a few of his fights and they were incredible. could def see him being a contender in the future.
Rafael Cavalcante vs. Yoel Romero: Cavalcante is the 2nd best LHW in strikeforce the fact that he isnt even on the main card is amazing.
Alexis Davis vs. Amanda Nunes: 2 great female fighters.
that is 3 preliminary fights that i care about on a strikeforce card....damn.

I hope Strikeforce doesn't go under. Dana seems to have a hard on when it comes to UFC and wouldn't want any other competition even if he was in control of it.

well i understand it. dana wants it to be a serious sport and the NFL doesnt have competition. MLB, NBA, etc.... i would like to see strikeforce alive and use it for womens fighting and flyweights as Dana seem to have no intrest in that. to me a great fighter is a great fighter.
on the flip side i want to see as much good MMA as possible.

Battle of the fucken bulldozers fo sure. I'd favor Overeem since brock has been out of it fo so long and he doesn't like getting hit in the face. Overeems a K1 champ, his whole purpose in life is to hit people in the face.

im gonna be rooting for Brock just to see the MMA internet community fall apart. but I don’t know that he’ll be able to handle Overeem’s world class kickboxing. I especially don’t know if he can avoid that for all of 25 minutes.
