GDT: UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Arlovski

[ck26]

Struve is the only guy in the division both slower than Bigfoot and also not really a knockout artist. Struve doesn't have anything for Bigfoot on the ground ... no idea why Struve is the favorite in that one.

Wow ... so ... yeah. Misread that one

watched Horiguchi vs Seery fight. holy s***, how did Seery survive that fight? his body shut out on him like 4 times

I know that Arlovski has been fairly decent in his UFC run, but Jesus... every time he gets punched in the face, I think he's going to sleep.

Arlovski is a big friggin' dude. He's always lean and he came in heavier than Reem. Amazing how much size that guy has lost. Well over 20 pounds of muscle. Unfortunately I missed the fight, but I've had my fill of Cain fighting the same people. I'd far prefer to see Reem get the next title shot (assuming Miocic wins).

Bigfoot responding to the critics with a pretty funny post...

Reem looked incredibly out of shape in that fight, though.

Well done, Antonio. I don't know why fighting brings out the ****tiest fans, but it does, and fighting fans on the internet will say the worst, most hateful, most ridiculous things sometimes. Few hockey fans say these things when Sidney Crosby or Joe Thornton gets knocked out of the playoffs. I'm betting none of the people who are calling Silva a ***** and a loser on the internet show up at ATT to tell him that in person.

He did have a bit of a gut showing on exhales. I think he's coming back down to earth. He's also north of 35 now.

Yeah, I thought it was well stated by Bigfoot. Summed it up perfectly. These guys train incredibly hard and put their heart and soul into it. Getting KO'd early is not what they had in mind, and then on top of taking a loss, they have to catch **** from anonymous people who've never even tried. Sucks, but it's not surprising.

I'm interested what the UFC does next with Bigfoot. I've always hated how the UFC will give these guys on bad runs a long string of tough fights when they should be giving them a tuneup fight. If they lose the tuneup fight then that's another thing, but give these guys a chance to bounce back.

People say his chin is shot, but I think it's less that, and more Andrei freaking out when he starts getting tagged. He does not handle taking punches very well and almost always starts backing straight up while he gets teed off on.
