Who Wins: Rogers/Overeem

Who wins between Brett Rogers and Alistar Overeem?

I'm going with Rogers, although it's pretty much a toss up to me.

Kind of reminds me of the AA fight. Overeem is the overall better striker but has such a weak chin. I am not of fan of Overeem but i think he wins.

Overeem is a bad matchup for Rogers

I got roid boy but wouldnt mind if Rogers deflated him

Rogers by KO in the first.

For some reason I have a sneaking feeling that Alistair won't look as sharp and will under perform stamina wise and athletically.

Now that I think about this fight, it's a crap shoot between two overrated HWs

On paper...this is a terrible matchup for Rogers. So i have to go with Overeem.

Overeem first round KO.

Overeem will likely look to use his speed to hopefully tire Rogers out by dancing around and trying to mix up the strikes to work the legs of Rogers. Stylistically Rogers is at a HUGE disadvantage because he's primarily a boxer whereas Overeem will be using a variety of strikes. Rogers has the size and power advantage though if he can land a clean shot Overeem could get finished real quick.

I don't think Overeem will come in unprepared given what Rogers showed us in the fight with Fedor. Even if he never fought Fedor everyone would still be saying he's dangerous to anyone he fights simply because he can land the parting shot any time he throws a punch. But yeah Rogers is either going to shock nobody and knock Overeem out, or get picked apart and nobody will be shocked anyway.

I think they're actually about the same size now

That's questionable

Holy fuck. I never saw that he got THAT big. Alright maybe I was wrong about the size advantage...

I'll bet rRogers still outweighs him, but that's not to say he's stronger. Overeem should win this with superior striking, but I hope he doesn't.

Both are 6-5, Reem is 260 and Rogers 265, but Reem is ripped at 260

Anybody have that picture of Overeem at the DREAM 11 weigh in's wearing a shirt that says "Spinach...the more you eat, the stronger you get".

I thought it was funny because it was almost like he was saying "haha, fuck ya'll"

Underoids won't be this big in a sanctioned US fight.

Overeem via TKO after working the legs, using speed, and putting knees in Rogers face

I'm going with Rogers. I think he's the real deal. I think he's Shane Carwin with a better resume. JMO

I think rogers goes in for the kill and wont hold back and come up with the ko and rogers will be the one every one is talking about again

It's basically and win over AA vs. a win over Gonzo. Rogers fought a bunch of nobodies before that.
