UFC 203 Miocic vs. Overeem

[lemipawa]

This was recently announced and fight will be held at Cleveland Ohio on September 10.
Stipe Miocic just came out from a very convincing win over Fabricio Werdum while Alistair Overeem came from a win as well with Andre Arlovski.
Both fighters shows last loss was way back 2014 but Alistair Overeem's record shows he is on a 4 winning streak.

While I am convinced with how Stipe Miocic handled Fabricio Werdum but I cant see that coming when he faced Alistair Overeem .

This will be an easy task for Stipe Miocic, TKO in round 2. Actually I would like to watch CM Punk's debut battle on MMA against Mickey Gal, some people might think this is a just a circus but this will be a good match for sure. I watched some Punk's training and sparring videos, I should say not bad though even he lose, it's a stepping stone career for him to strive harder in the MMA world.

Joe Rogan has a pretty nice preview that was put up on Youtube recently

definitely worth a watch if your interested in Punk or considering betting on the
fight.

[lemipawa]

Miocic have an impressive performance on his last fight with Werdum at UFC 198. Miocic is ahead in odd with Overeem withjust a few points but I'm quite positive that Miocic will beat Overeem on this fight. After watching Fight Night with Arlovski vs Barnett on the main card, looking forward for Barnett Vs Miocic in months to come.

- Ben Rothwell was expected to face former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum at this event. However on August 11, Rothwell pulled out due to injury. A team representative said he may have suffered a torn meniscus and could have an ACL injury. He was replaced by Travis Browne. This will be a rematch as Werdum defeated Browne via unanimous decision at UFC on Fox: Werdum vs. Browne in 2014.

- A lightweight bout between Erik Koch and Drew Dober was originally booked for UFC 195, but Koch pulled out due to an injury and the bout was scrapped. The fight was later rescheduled for this event, until Koch pulled out again due to injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Jason Gonzalez.

- Mairbek Taisumov was expected to face Nik Lentz at the event. However, Taisumov was removed from the fight on September 1 due to visa issues and was replaced by promotional newcomer Michael McBride on 9 days notice.

This could have been a great match between Ben Rothwel and Fabricio Werdum, too bad Ben Rothwel suffered an injury. Cant say who is better between Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne. Looking at Travis Browne fight history, hes got a win and lose record but he suffered a lost with Cain Velasquez only last UFC 200 via TKO.

Miocic VS Overeem is very interest UFC match, but I sure Overeem will be win in this match. Miocic is very good in stand fight but Overeem is good for stand and wrestling, Overeem also more power than Miocic. I predict this match not more 3 rounds and Overeem will be winner.

Yeah.  But I would have loved to see Junior dos Santos take the spot instead of Browne.  It might make for a better fight and match up.

Anyway here are a couple of videos in anticipation of the event.  Enjoy!

Thanks tokeweed for posting the details of UFC 203, searching yesterday if you already posted this thread. By the way my predictions for the upcoming matches.

Stipe Miocic (15-2) vs.  Alistair Overeem (41-14) (Heavyweight Championship) - Stipe Miocic by TKO (punch) round two
Fabricio Werdum (20-6-1) vs.  Travis Browne (18-4-1) (Heavyweight) - Fabricio Werdum a unanimous decision again (Maybe Browne will get his revenge/TKO round 2)
CM Punk (0-0) vs.  Mickey Gall (2-0) (Welterweight) - it's a hard call for this one but I'll go for CM Punk by submission
Urijah Faber (33-9) vs.  Jimmie Rivera (19-1) (Bantamweight) -  Urijah Faber by unanimous decision

[eaLiTy]

Miocic vs. Overeem is purely a Striker Vs Striker match,Alister Overeem is a well rounded striker in that ,who is an accomplished kick boxer too,where as Miocic is purely a boxer and very good at it,Miocic doesnt use his feet much to do the kicks,so this is really an interesting match up ,if Alister Overeem could fight the same game plan he used against junior dos santos he could very well win this match.

I am also looking for the match up against CM punk and Mickey Gall,every one is writing off CM punk here, but i am going to bet for him as i do think he could win this match and in the big stage experience does favor punk here as he has performed for big crowds in his career in WWE.

[lemipawa]

Yeah.  But I would have loved to see Junior dos Santos take the spot instead of Browne.  It might make for a better fight and match up.

Junior dos Santos Vs Fabricio Werdum 2 could be a great rematch. They last squared off way back 2008 and Junior dos Santos knocked out Fabricio Werdum. That is something to look forward since it looks like Werdum needs to show that Junior dos Santos just got lucky on his debut with UFC although looking at how Fabricio Werdum performed with his match with Miocic, Junior dos Santos will knock him out again.

Junior Dos Santos was one of the talented fighters in the heavyweight division period,but the wars he had with Cain Velasquez definitely had an impact in his body,he took almost a year off after the fights and even the last fight he lost to Alistair Overeem he was coming back after a one year lay off,he just fought three fights from 2013 to 2016, mean time he had surgeries and recently he had a surgery in his hand,so the problem is how healthy he is,if he is in the best of shape,he will be the heavyweight champ in no time,i am sure about that as he has already defeated Stipe Miocic and Werdum .Werdum is an different animal at the moment,his fighting style has changed and his striking has improved than in 2008.

[maku]

It is hard to predict. In general bookmakers are giving the upper hand to Miocic but the difference in odds is not that significant - 1.71 v 2.0.
These 2 fighters both have potential to win this fight. I will personally pass this event and won't bet on any of them - for me it is 55/45 on Miocic.

What do you guys think about the Gall vs CM Punk match up?  Do you think Gall is ready for the sleeper hold, cobra clutch, boston crab, clothes line, elbow drop or pile driver? 

[Rubberduckie]

lmao I think he should go to the camel clutch hahah.

I don't really want these mouth breathing wrestling fans watching my
favorite sport (UFC) I'm hoping these wrestlers get punked and go back
to their fake garbage and nascar fans.

CM Punk will taste a real punch on his face soon, hopefully he can manage to escape from the very minutes of first round. In my opinion there's still a for him to win over his opponent just keep his distance and when a hit landed on his, adrenaline rush will be triggered then he will use his finishing move, GTS Go To Sleep.

Hahaha and then finish off with the Superfly Splash.



Anyway I'm just dropping by to post another video.

[pereira4]

This one will be epic, I always enjoy the huge heavyweight fights. I think Overeem will win, he can become dominant again. I think the steroids scandal fucked his mind up for a long time, but he is recovering now. Let's just hope he doesnt get caught again and ends up like Jon Bones Jones.

Not a fan of CM Punk even when he is still at WWE and for me UFC is very far or way too far to be compared to the performers of WWE. Just take a look at Brock Lesnar, he is just huge but other than that he is nothing. Dana White had a hard time selling UFC 200. Now with CM Punk what do we expect out from this guy? Dont be surprissed if theres an early stopage due to KO or submission.
