So Brock is going to KO a striker first round Aaron?
I have a lot of respect for Brock- His mentality, strength and his training. Will he win? We will see. But, I hope he does because there is a lot of pressure on both sides. I do think you guys are cutting him short. Brock is a very powerful man and he can throw punches too. Brock has been off for some time recuperating from x health issue. I do think he will be more cautious and I do think he will capitalize with his striking and make each punch count. If Brock gets ontop of AAlistair I wish him best of luck crawling out from Brock's massive body. I still say Brock for the win. If I am wrong, that is ok. If you havnt seen Brock's biography on youtube I highly recommend it.
Brock has to take him down quick. Overeem is taller than him and a better striker. Very dangerous with his knees as well as his hands. Brock has a much better chance on the ground but it still won't be easy. These guys are about the same size and they are both strong to boot.
Brock seems to improve with time. He might have a chance, but it's unlikely.
I agree with you...in part. If Brock gets him down, it'll be hard for Overeem to get up. That's Brock's only real chance though. If it stays standing - even though Brock has shown a lot of improvement in his striking - Overeem is WAY too experienced for him. Yeah, Brock can throw punches but, he can't really take getting hit. As soon as someone gives him a good pop, he turns his face away from them.Quote:

I am rooting for Brock. So many Brock haters because he moved to the top so quickly. Plus he had the WWE attitude but has changed a lot. At least he doesn't fake his injuries plus he's a beast while he trains. He just hates getting punched and his coaches need to make him get used to get punched.
Are you mocking GSP or Silva?
