UFC FN 149: Overeem vs Oleinik Prediction and Info Thread

[kenzawak]

Overeem is just the shadow of the fighter he used to be. He is so slow !

There is a belief, that Overeem was quick only on drugs. Before testing positive before ufc 146 (may 2012) he destroyed almost everything in mma and k1. After positive test, take a look on his career. He started to lose more often.

I do agree with that, he was very impressive at a time and then poof... nothing.
Bigger, stronger, faster they say...

I didn't placed a bet this time. The odds were good, but I was reluctant because Oleinik was having the fight in his home country. On top of that age is catching up with Overeem. But in the end, Overeem proved that he was one of the best fighters out there, irrespective of the age.

Can't say i expected much from this fight anyway. Yeah overeem won but i don't consider these two as top tier in the heavyweight division. Overeem has seen better days even if his physique still looks awesome. And even during his prime, he didn't have what it takes to dominate a division the way jds, brock and even cain did during their times.

His fight history is not as impressive like other heavyweight champion who dominated the division. Overeem was a contender but someone always pushes him behind the line of contenders to the championship belt. However, props to his striking accuracy which is 70%, I have never seen anyone in the heavyweight division to have such striking accuracy.

Yeah me too because its hard to predict who will win this fight and i might also lose money if I place a wrong bet. They both have good records, and age is doesn’t matter on this fight. But since Oleinik are more physically fit, i think he has the big chance to win.
