Brett Rogers and Todd Duffee are not world beaters. But the Fedor Overeem fight is now more juicy. I want to see it.

I think Fedor would argue that fighting the Reem has been a really JUICY proposition for a long time now.

Given how thin the HW division is, he probably does deserve to be in the top 10, despite beating sub-par competition. But beating Duffee does not make you top 10

Agreed… Like everyone else, I was pretty certain he wouldn’t have any problems with Duffee… However, he fucking took him apart and made it look really, really easy. I was impressed by his performance.

he just simply manhandled him in 19 seconds. Cain needed at least 2 min to dispatch Jake O’Brian, who is by far a much worse fighter than Duffee. Just enjoy Overeem fights!

No but

make no mistake, Overeem is a BAAAD man. He is hitting his peak right now. Should be interesting. I think Fedor should have fought him 2 years ago. The Reem is way better now than he was then and I would venture a guess that Fedor is not quite what he was 2 years ago. I am a Fedor fan but I don’t think he can beat Overeem.

by crizzy on Dec 31, 2010 1:06 PM EST up reply actions

How does Fedor win that fight? He can’t possibly want to stand with him and good luck taking him down with those throws. It’s a hail mary overhand right’s chance IMO.

Hits him

I don’t expect Fedor to win, but Fedor has an uncanny ability to put guys to sleep when he catches them. Having to defend the takedown, Overeems striking might open up a little bit and give Fedor a window, but Overeem is the clear favorite I think

So happy

Aoki took a nap, after that Starnes crap in the first round. Cheating and running and falling on the mat. I liked Aoki before didn’t necessarily agree with his post fight tactics he did but liked him. But after that first round I change my mind. That went against what Japanese mma fighters are about they go out on they’re shields. Aoki that was a joke.

by Bloodsport on Dec 31, 2010 10:38 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

Aoki got what he deserved

What Aoki did in those first three minutes was flat-out embarrassing. It was just such a fitting end to see Aoki get KO’d like that and also puts the stamp on how ridiculous he was. Starnes ran, but this is just as embarrassing in that Aoki blatantly broke the rules but in such an idiotic looking way. I wonder if this affects Aoki’s rankings in MMA? At least with another fight in Duffee vs Overeem, Duffee came to fight, but he of course got KO’d

I agree, the knee froze him up for a few seconds. His body probably locked up from that more than the punches and his head wasn’t messed up that badly.

by crazybones on Dec 31, 2010 11:19 AM EST up reply actions  

For clarification- I'm in NO way implying Duffee took a dive

It looked obvious after the first TD attempt that he wasn’t going to get AO on his back, and he was helpless in the standup. He ate a couple of huge knees, and it looks to me like he made the decision to just get hit and crumple. That was a dirty left hook, but the motion of Duffee’s body after the KO just doesn’t look normal to me. Or how he slumped over through the ropes. It looks fabricated. It looks like someone who knows he’s rocked who doesn’t want to shoot for a single leg for time to recover.

Worth noting:

This fight got finished almost exactly as I called it in the striking questions fanpost. Short left hook. I don’t find it suspicious that Duffee got knocked out by exactly what he was susceptible to being hit by.

If you watch the hit land, Duffee’s head jostles about in a very unnatural way, I’m not at all surprised it almost put his lights out.

Looks like he takes the brunt of the blow (once his jaw was moved out of the way) right in the neck. Sending a wave of blood up into the brain. Another way to get KTFO and it doesn’t even have to be as hard as that left hook.

Happy with results

Glad that Ishii, Kharitonov, and Zaromskis picked up wins. Lets get that Kharitonov-Overeem rubber match!

Very glad that Thompson got crushed, his personality just always kinda pissed me off, when asked to give thoughts about the Condit-Hardy fight, he said he didn’t care, because he just beat a guy who beat both of them. He also spouted shit about the WEC-UFC merger saying crap like ‘they are celebrating that the WEC failed, how is it getting put into the UFC a good thing? it just means they were a failuer’ or something along those lines.

So yeah, f*ck him.

I am also super glad that Aoki got knocked the f’ck out as well, I’m even happier that he embarassed himself long enough to stall through the K-1 round to actually get knocked out in the MMA round.

Very glad Overeem dumped Duffee so fast as opposed to putting a long grueling beating on him. Kudos to Duffee for taking the fight, and I hope he rebounds successfully and gets a lot of wins under his belt. There was the line of thought that Duffee shouldn’t have been fighting Overeem, and at least Overeem absolutely proved it.

How else do you prove that you are ready to fight the best besides absolutely destroying the guys that aren’t the best?

Overeem is on another level. Guys like Rogers and Duffee were undefeated, stopping all of their opponents, their first losses were far from poor performances, with Rogers giving Fedor a very tough first round and Duffee absolutely dominating Russow for 2.5 rounds before getting caught. Rogers didn’t have anything for Overeem, and got mauled for nearly 4 minutes, Duffee couldn’t last 20 seconds without getting his clock cleaned.

StrikeForce, set up Overeem vs Werdum for March…set up all of your heavyweights to fight eachother. You don’t even have to do a tournament in a traditional setting, just make the winners fight winners of other fights. With the UFC’s heavyweight division on stall, StrikeForce seriously needs to activate their own and make things happen if they want to shake up the rankings and take the full 7 weight class dominance away from Zuffa…the heavyweight division is really the only division they have a hope of doing so in.

by MarcoDos on Dec 31, 2010 1:25 PM EST reply actions  

In my opinion, Overeem continues to make his case for being one of the top HW’s in the world right now. I mean, look at what he’s doing. He fought seven times in 2010 and went 7-0, and that’s a lot more than most “top heavyweights” can say. When you look at the HW picture, most of the fighters have been largely inactive, whether because of contractual issues or injury. People can continue to say that he doesn’t deserve to be in the top 10, stating that the top heavyweights in the UFC would beat him handily. But as of now, that’s mere speculation and many of those fighters are on the shelf for the foreseeable future. I hate to sound like I’m saddling The Reem’s gargantuan nuts, but I feel like a lot of the discord comes from people who accept Dana’s comments blindly as truth (because after all, he’s DFW) without taking the time to watch Overeem’s fights and the quality of his training at Golden Glory (check out his documentary “The Reem” if you haven’t already). After all, as CaptnAmerica said above, he handled Duffee just like you would expect a top fighter to.

It depends – does Duffee come in with that same strategy of just James Thompsoning until he gets KO’d? In that case I would expect a ton of guys to do that to him.

Early on in the fight, Zaromskis was clearly more on point and was moving in and out with punches. The announcers said Sakuraba was cut somewhere, and they briefly stopped to look at his caulifour ear which was cut open. After letting the fight continue for a little longer, it was clear that Sakuraba was getting outpointed, and his ear kept spewing blood. After the fight was called, the announcers kept saying that part of his ear was ripped away from his head, but his head was wrapped in a full bandage before any more of it could be seen. It was pretty disgusting to say the least, and I couldn’t help but feel bad for him when he addressed the crowd afterwards in that condition.

You can see his ear hanging off here for a second.


Very poor quality though. Few seconds before that, before Sakuraba comes back into the corner, and just after he gets up to his feet, you can kind of see his ear flapping back and forth for a second or so too.

it’s funny how often conversations about fights devolves into org comparisons. the amazing thing about Overeem this year is how self-directed and confident he’s been as a fighter, in and outside of the ring. I doubt he would be the same fighter in the UFC.

rather than wishing Overeem in the UFC i’d prefer to wish more fighters had the kind of initiative and drive to fight at a consistently high level outside the UFC.

huh, interesting comment. And yes I sort of do too. I’d love to see Reem go up against JDS. I think Reem would destroy him within 2 rounds.

Unlike every other division the best HW’s on a whole are outside the UFC. The exposing of Brock did a bunch. It also exposed Frank Mir.

Yest somehow Werdum didn’t expose Fedor, and the bunch of people he’s beaten.

Fedor didn't get exposed

I think rational fight fans see that he had a lapse in judgement or underestimated Werdum’s submissions. Did a lapse in judgement cause Brock to not be able to handle getting jabbed in the face? Mir on the other hand evidentally had a lapse in judgement three times when it comes to fighters that are stronger then him. Nice try

Just for some stats

19 minutes and 21 seconds is how long it took Overeem to defeat his last 9 opponents(Cro Cop was a no contest, so I didn’t count him)

That’s an average of 2 minutes and 9 seconds per opponent.

Also, he has finished 33 of his 34 victories

That is a 97% finish rate.

Sakuraba's Ear

is some nasty stuff. Shame the fight had to end like that.

I watched the the fights live on HDnet this morning and Jienotsu’s KO of Aoki caused me to jump out of my seat and spill beer on my carpet.

Also, Bob Sapp did not fight on the card because he, and I quote, “Lost the will to fight.”
Fool me once…

UFC Belt is Next...

This will make him the undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world.

He has to actually fight in the UFC first

I just don’t see him giving up the freedom to fight who and where he wants for as much money as he can get for 3 fights a year “against the best” when he already thinks he is the best.

He may care about his legacy and all that more than Fedor does but I don’t think he sees the UFC as something he has to do to be an all time great, he wants to continue fighting K-1, he wants to continue being a god in Japan and he seems to only come state side when the payday fits.

I truly have a hard time seeing anyone compete with him outside of Cain.
