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 think overeem will destroy him. Goin to bed now and wake up for the fights at 1am here on tv

dustin · « **Reply #8 on:** February 01, 2014, 02:02:04 PM »

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™.

That Barao looks like he's been training at Auschwitz.

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.

Mir will break his leg.

Possible, but not likely.

Be an early bedtime for Frank tonight.

Shitty heavyweight fight.. One guy well past his prime and the other struggling for form after some lacklustre performances

Overeem TKO 1st Round, ALDO submission in 2nd, Barao in barnburner, split decision

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.

Schnauzer · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2014, 08:38:46 PM »

Damn, I really wanted Mir to pull off the win somehow

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.

dustin · « **Reply #24 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.
