Yeah, he just has a huge head and limbs. He has gigantism, but had the surgury at a young age to keep him from being 7 feet 3 and dead at 35.

Those weigh ins had such a bootleg UFC feel with the 10 Rockstar Energy Drink whores and fat fuck Scott Coker doing his best Dana White impersonation. At least they aren't doing them in hotel lobbies anymore though.

They also changed the draw rules to sudden death instead of that dumb ass dimwit idea of deferring to a fourth judge basing everything on a half point system. If three judges can fuck up a fight why in the hell would they leave the determining of a close fight up to one? Just another reason why Coker is Dana's latest employee.

I'm actually pretty excited for this card though. KJ Noons should bring it. It's fun watching Cormier work over jobbers even though I think he's too small and pudgy for heavyweight and Chad Griggs sideburns= ratings. Not to mention Barnett and Overeem.

The thing about it was, when he did stand with Reem he had him on the defensive a couple of times and ate some pretty big shots from Reem without going down. I think the Overeem rocket will get pulled back into orbit once he starts facing more legit competition instead of jobbers like Rogers and Duffy.

Pretty much have the same feelings about Overeem as I did before, very good striker, lots of power, but no cardio. Overeem and Werdum were both gassed by the end of the second. I don't see Overeem giving any trouble to Veasquez really, if the fight made it into the second, he would get picked apart, on the feet or on the ground. Now Overeem vs JDS would be more interesting, but I think JDS takes that too.

Overeem, oh what could've been...

I think he blasts el gigante's chin off, then he takes the final convincingly. I just don't see a huge bandwagon after tonight. He'll still have the Japanese, they're more loyal than we are

Werdum got noticeably tired much earlier than Overeem but yeah he doesn't seem to have good cardio as you can hear him breathing hard in the post fight interview.

This dude might very well win. If he can tire out Overeem without tiring himself out then he could probably get a KO. I don't think Barnett can do what he did last night to Rogers, to Silva when they fight.

Yes. Top tier talent will be tougher to handle. But reem was very VERY worried about committing to striking and giving up a takedown where werdum had solid position. I wouldn't rate his striking off last nights performance...let's see jds/reem then compare notes(right after I change my undies)

I don't doubt Overeem's striking abilities at all. It's his well roundedness that I'm wondering about. He's spent the last year and a half training exclusively for K1 and I'm willing to bet that his jiu jitsu and wrestling aren't as honed. Not to mention his cardio.

I think Velasquez would expose him badly. JDS may be more equal, but I think JDS is a better pure boxer. Plus with Overeem, it's his knees that really fuck people up. If JDS avoids those and pushes the pace, it would be a long night for Alistair.

Dude's not invincible either. He's been KOed and you don't suddenly develop a chin overnight or because your concoction of horse beef and special vitamins helped you put on "40 pounds of whoop ass."

He should beat Big Foot Silva though. If Barnett's cardio is up to snuff, his catch wrestling would be a tough match up for Alistair. Kharitonov could go either way since both guys have beaten each other before.

The TDD, and defensive Jiu Jitsu were great last night. I think that Cain/reem would be awesome. While cains wrestling would give reem fits, can velasquez handle an uber knee? And the Uber knee is phenomenal when executed.

Barnett's post-match promo made me cringe.

Werdum shooting at you and Velasquez shooting at you are two different things though. He was never really put in a position to where he had to employ any real defensive jiu jitsu either. He avoided Werdum's guard for most of the fight and only jumped in at the end of the round when Werdum had little time to work. Don't get me wrong, he fought a smart fight, but it's not like Werdum ever had him in any real trouble and he worked his way out.

I'm not really down on the guy. Werdum didn't give him much to work with anyways and styles really do make fights. I just hope all the dick riders on Sherdog and MMA Junkie who had Reem annointed as the chosen one take a chill pill.

And yes, when Ubereem hits that Uberknee it can be good night Irene. Just ask Kaz Fujita.

Have they announced dates for the next round or are we going to have to wait for them to venue shop for another state that will let Barnett fight?

Uh oh! Overeem says he hasn't agreed to fight on September 10th, Zuffa is threatening to cut him from the Grand Prix and he wants to fight Klitschko.

Seems like he's gotten spoiled with Coker bending over and taking it from him. He came out of that fight with Werdum relatively unscathed.

I think it's just posturing on Overeems part, seeing if maybe if he can do a "Nick Diaz".

Overeem's out of the grand prix. Wonder where this leaves him for future bouts.

Well this was Overeems chance to prove his worth, so unless he ends up in the UFC, this does very little to help him, and just adds to people questioning his rank among HW. Especially since he didn't look all that impressive against Werdum.

Well Cormier knocked out Big Foot and Barnett submitted Kharitonov so it's gonna be the alternate 9-0 Olympic wrestler vs the white guy who looks out of shape so he's sitting on people.

If Barnett could somehow slap a submission on Cormier he could win but with Cormier being an Olympic wrestler it looks like it will be a difficult thing for him to do.

Love how this tournament was going to be HUGE and the winner of it was going to be the top heavyweight in the world, but now only 3 1/2 people give a shit even though that last fight card was arguably Strikeforce's best ever and could have gone toe to toe with most UFC cards in terms of exciting finishes.

JERRY counts as 1 1/2 people by the way. He's that damn good.

I just read Rodgers was released from Strikeforce. Fedor was released, Overeem is in UFC, Diaz is in UFC, Jake Shields popped on over also so if SF doesn't hold onto their top talent, soon it will probably merge with UFC.

Ok Dan Henderson and Cung Le are fighting at UFC 139 so I'm guessing once SF's contract with Showtime is over, SF will be assimilated into the UFC.

To be fair, Rodgers was released for being a piece of shit wife beater, Fedor was released because he isn't Fedor anymore and Shields was in the UFC before Zuffa bought Strikeforce.

A merger does make sense though. Why not make the best matches possible instead of having two separate promotions that have the same parent company?

I read Fedor had a contract with Showtime and fought under the SF banner so he wasn't actually released/cut from SF/Zuffa but that his contract ended with Showtime.

Do UFC events air SF promos anymore? I can't recall seeing an ad for a while now. I hope they keep the women's division alive because they can still make some money off of Gina and a few of the other girls once in a while.
