Derrick Lewis is the slight favorite here at 1.86 at Nitrogen, although the lines opened close at almost 50/50.  I wish I made the bet during the opening as this could go to Lewis' favor more as we come close to the day of the event.

And I'd like to see Lewis fight a top 5 HW, specifically Overeem, then go for the title.

Anyway, here are a couple of videos from their past fights.  Enjoy.

I saw a podcast with Mark Hunt as he is pissed with the UFC and his last loss against Overeem he says that the UFC allowed him to use IV before the fight and he says it is cheating as he thinks it is not a level playing field with IV and lets not forget his law suite against Brock lesnar ,if things going with his out side life i doubt whether he will be focused enough to fight Lewis,it will be a good fight and i like to pick Hunt to knock Lewis out.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

It will be a fun fight between two of the toughest heavy weights in the division and both have serious knock out power,there is a bit of a cardio problem for Lewis as i usually see i him fade at a later rounds but i was impressed by the way he defeated Travis Browne even after getting hurt with his kicks he came back and knocked Travis out and against the king of walk out knock outs ,it is going to be fire works.

[gabmen]

Mark hunt's always been fun to watch though i didn't think he'd be a title contender considering the talent at the top of the heavy weight division. This would be entertaining to watch though with two very tough strikers going at it and i think the super samoan would ko lewis early

[bbc.reporter]

@gabmen. Derrick Lewis is on a roll while Mark Hunt's record has some losses in it for the last 2 years. There is no reason for that to change. Derrick will beat Hunt and on he will go to his quest for a chance to fight for the championship.

It's clear that Overeem is not natural, or at least he wasn't for lots of years, he looked like a damn bodybuilder, it's clear he was cheating. Not sure about now. What is IV?

Anyway Mark Hunt is an hero. He's the thorougher guy on the UFC ever.

IV is IntraVenous.

Its what they call the bag full of fluid MMA fighters used to IntraVenously inject through their veins to re-hydrate themselves after cutting weight.

IV's were banned after USADA random testing/out-of-competition testing went into effect as the plastic can be used to mask the deliver of PED's to a limited degree. The plastic bag the IV is made of can be detected via testing. In the past athletes put PED's in IV bags that's the reason USADA objects to it.

Its normal for hospitals/healthcare to use an IV on someone who is severely dehydrated/sick. Overeem using one probably isn't as major an issue as some are making it out to be.

The Black Beast (Lewis) is going to win this by KO in round 3. That's my prediction any way, looking forward to the fight

Have a quick run down of who Hunt lost to: Overeem (via knee), Werdum (via flying knee)(ex-champ), Mitoic (champ), JDS (ex-champ)
Lewis has been doing great, but have a look- he is often tired and totaly gassed, look at the level of people he has been fighting in fighter IQ and in overall MMA skills vs. who Hunt has fought. Think Hunt is done and not moditvated? Not this time, in his back yard.

This is going to be a brawl and who ever lands the first punch will win the fight,it is true that Lewis is having cardio issues and that will be the deciding factor in this battle,i do not see this fight going to a decision either and Hunt fighting in his home town will be motivated to get the win.

To my knowledge, wasn't Overeem caught with testosterone or something? He just didn't look natural. The way he bulked in a few years was too impressive, and too cut. It's not like he was wearing extra fat to make the cut, he was all muscle, like a bodybuilder. That look specially in a tall guy is very hard to achieve naturally.

After his comeback he looks more natural but you never know because steroids are very addictive.

Its tough to know if someone is using steroids by their physical appearance.

James Toney(from boxing) and Josh Barnett aren't cut and both tested positive for steroids in their careers.

Its much easier for professional fighters and athletes to develop good physiques they get paid to lift weights & eat healthy food as their profession.

Overeem did test positive for elevated testosterone. Then I think he quit lifting weights when he moved to train out of greg jackson's gym and has gotten smaller since.

I couldn't say whether Reem or anyone else uses steroids with 100% certainty.

To be honest I don't even know how accurate the testosterone test is, there are natural foods that boost or lower testosterone levels. One example of a food that could lower testosterone is soy sauce.

Examples of foods that might boost testosterone:

• Pomegranate.
• Olive Oil.
• Oysters.
• Coconut.
• Cruciferous Vegetables.
• Whey Protein.
• Garlic.

Etcetera.

The problem remains that it is hard to catch the cheaters,no one would have believed Lance Armstrong was a serial cheater until it was revealed and that was the case with all the athletes involved in the BALCO scandal,one thing is sure that the Reem lost a lot of muscle after the introduction of USADA and the food you mentioned have a level of increase and on testing only drastic change will be noted,which is not normal.
As expected Hunt knocked out Lewis as his weakness of not having a gas tank to last four rounds was evident in the fight.

[Mbokani]

I have seen two matches Derrick Lewis calling out and losing the match,i remember he calling out Matt Mitrione and getting knocked out cold in the first minute or so and now he called out Mark Hunt and getting knocked out in the fourth round,i think he is yet to get to the top five level and his cardio is the issue he has to sort to be successful.

[krach]

What a let down that the kim fight was canceled.

Did Black Beast look a little like DADA 5000 in the 3rd and 4th? 

[DeathAngel]

Hunt wins by TKO, the black beast tired in the 3rd & 4th, he just couldn't continue. Congratulations to Hunt who proved to be a worthy winner, I enjoyed the fight.

Look at Overeem's progression over time:



He doesn't look natural at all on the final pics. Too heavy and too conditioned, can't be both at the same time without steroids. I just can't believe he was natural.

His current physique looks like someone who lifts, but could be free of steroids, but who knows.
