Title: UFC 169, Overeem vs Mir
Post by: Cleanest Natural on February 01, 2014, 01:16:14 PM
A few hours away. Both come in after sad showings. Maybe Overeem will lay him out and Redeem himself a little.

Terrible match-up for Frank. He's had difficulties with strong heavyweights before and Alistair has great clinch and knees. I think Reem will pound him out before he gasses.

I agree. I kind of feel bad for Mir.

Mir looked absolutely abysmal against Daniel Cormier. Just horrible to watch.

IMO he needs to drop a little weight and focus on improving his cardio. His striking is beyond telegraphed. It's like he's moving in slow motion.

The two title fights could be interesting, although they more than likely will go the distance. Barao hasn't lost in 8 years. I like Faber, but in their first fight he was outclassed. Barao's Muay Thai is too much for The California Kid.

I hope Overeem has been working on his cardio. He looks like he's in a lot better condition now that the NSAC's testing him and making sure he's not a consumer of Horse Meat™.

Cardio has always been his problem and it always will. He tried to pace himself in bigfoot fight but got tired and knocked out. Last fight against Browne he went for the kill and got tired after 3 minutes.

I think Frank is a safe match becauce Mir will break before Reem does.

Overeem surprised me, finally fighting smart and respecting his opponent, but can't help feel a little disappointed.  Overeem never looked like he was going to go for the KO, he was always just going to point fight.

This was the hard right in the last round, but Overeem just cruised after that, he could have easily swarmed and KO'ed Frank after this IMO.  Overeem just playing it safe.

Post by: dustin on February 01, 2014, 08:45:50 PM
Awesome to see the Reem back! Little action but in hindsight he played it safe, didn't play into his emotions and just swarm a dangerous Frank Mir. I like it. Hopefully he inches closer back to his old killer form.

Reem played it safe, which he should considering the outcome against Bigfoot and Travis Browne.

Straight right that started from Overreem's hip. Not to mention Mir had his chin stuck in there like a jr high-school fight.  Got what he deserved.

Reem has looked hesitant in other fights though, especially in K1. He's just an awkward fighter.

Poor Mir, is he still alive. I guess the knee took a lot out of him... kinda hoped he would win.
On a more positive note he passed the test and survived 3 rounds which takes a lot of willpower.

I think the Overeem vs Mir fight was pure garbage.

Most likely, Dana figured that he needed to groom an opponent for Brock Lesnar, prior to his return. Not to mention that one of these fighters was due to get cut from the UFC (Historically speaking, after 2 loses, a fighter gets cut, unless he can actually provide a great return on investment via high PPV sales).

Overeem is still a "visually" appealing heavyweight with an impressive CV that gets fans interested. What better way to slowly rebuild the Overeem hype, than by putting him up against a tired Mir that is clearly on his way out?

As soon as his current WWe stint is done, Lesnar will come on over for a nice pay day in the UFC and in return will provide Dana and the Fertittas with massive Pay Per View numbers, as WWe fans will buy the UFC event (Lesnar vs Overeem) in support of their "wrasstling" hero.

Are people really gonna pay to watch Lesnar get humiliated again? The guy doesn't belong in MMA.

Self-respecting fans of MMA won't, but the millions of WWe fans will pay that and more.

Not to mention, that there will be a large cohort of MMA fans that will pay the cash just to see Overeem (or whomever they pick to go up against Brock) beat the living shit out of Brock.

The world of MMA is completely controlled by money, as I guess pretty much all things are.
