i wasnt that impressed with overeem when he fought lesnar, Junior should pound him in
That was also Overeem's first fight in the cage. Hardly anyone does well their first time. I think it'll be a great fight...and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm actually picking Overeem.
Who has Jr. fought that's better?
He's fought several UFC fighters....just not IN the UFC ;)
And, Jr hasn't really fought a lot of TOP guys. Cain, sure...but other than that, what top guy has he fought? Carwin doesn't count haha
I doubt Overeem will have trouble with Junior...I like Junior but I think Overeem is just better overall and the size is a definite factor.

Records are great for hyping up a fight...they are used to make the fighters both seem very close so it drives sales...you have to look a bit deeper than that.

Even looking at the records, Overeem has still faced the tougher guys.
Overeem has lost a few.Something to be considered is that Overeem understands that dope tests are for real in the UFC.Expect to see a softer version.
