    Thinking of betting Bigfoot Silva by KO when the props come out...
    Overeem is tough, but may turtle if Silva can get at him similar to how Mr. Lesnar used to be... Depends how good the odds are..

    Any thoughtsÉ

    Obviously the UFC wants Mr. Overeem to win this fight...

      This prop is likely to have a TON of "value".

      Just like Vlad's line had a TON of "value".

        I don't think Bigfoot has significant power standing, his gnp is relatively good though. He never hurt Arlovski, who is pretty easy to hurt, but clearly outboxed him.

        I'm aware Overeem turned and ran from Karitonov, and after he ditched Golden Glory Bas Rutten said Overeem used to turn away from punches until it was trained out of him. I don't think he'll turtle in this instance, since all that was a while ago.

        I think Bigfoot is live in this provided he uses movement, since Overeem has an almost stationary fighting style. Rather than bet Bigfoot by KO I would rather bet Bigfoot by decision. I will probably be betting fight goes distance, since I don't know if Bigfoot can win fighting off the back foot, and also Overeem may still win the exchanges even if Bigfoot avoids being stopped.

          Would be very surprised if this fight goes the distance!

              I wouldn't play it, but bigfoot has to be the most underrated HW of all time. He is the first one that actually SMASHED Fedor after all.

                That may be the outcome, but I think the line will probably be off. There's huge variables like Bigfoot's glass jaw, and also Overeem may set up something with kicks. But in terms of pure striking I think Overeem is a more favourable match up than Cormier or even Mike Kyle. Bigfoot has usually done well when he can box at range.

                  Just give me the money...this is the worst bet ever. Overeem is gonna school him so bad it won't even be funny.

                        That's Alistair Overeem in Pride nearly a decade ago, not Ubereem...and that's after he gassed....Two different people. Get your facts straight...and he hit him in the back of the head....do you want me to show footage of Mike Kyle dropping Bigfoot to prove a point? Or Cormier? Or Cain dropping Silva 3 seconds into the fight? Your confidence in Bigfoot is insulting to anyone who knows anything about MMA. I'll bet you ALL MY betpoints on this fight....oh nevermind, you don't have any because you probably lost it all on another MMA fight.
                        this is your last warning...bet on Antonio Silva and you will be throwing your money away. This is the word of God.

                            stfu newb. that is from k-1 heros. When reem already went to heavyweight.

                            this fa-g knows nothing about mma. looked at reems record on sherdog. Didn't know he fought Sergei twice.

                            F-ck outta here kid.

                              f-cking 0wned yourself talking about a k-1 heros fight at HEAVYWEIGHT. Time to log off and get a new username. Jiggy got another one.

                                    Never been a fan of Reem.

                                    But Bigfoot has little chance. Bigfoot can't take him down. And Bigfoot's striking isn't half of Reems. Reem is probably going to brutally send this guy to the hospital.

                                    Bigfoot gets sent to the wolves. Cain, Cormier, Reem.

                                      Look at the size disadvantage there. I thought Fedor beats him, but Bigfoots size was too much. He mounted him and Fedor couldn't get up. Other than that Bigfoot has beat very few good fighters. Bigfoot isn't terrible, but the matchup isn't too favorable.

                                      His last fight vs. Browne he was a decent sized Dog. He got lucky because 260lb Browne thinks he is Dominick Cruz and hurt himself jumping around. Bigfoot KO'd a guy with 1 leg. Bigfoot has limited standing punching power especially for such a big dude.

                                        True on all points. Like said, I wouldn't go betting on Silva with this one.

                                        Still, it's kind of funny how underrated he is. I honestly was shocked when he beat Fedor, and Arlovski too. That said, I'm counting on Overeem to win but if Silva somehow manages to win this fight, it isn't exactly the upset of the year either. Silva doesn't generally get the respect he deserves. Perhaps it's because he's a goofy looking mofo and his movement kind of reminds me of watching handicapped people during foreplay.

                                        (Speaking of favourable matchups, that's one of the reasons I think Rashad is a really good pick for this event. I'd assume the Evans-Diet Nog fight will be kind of like Bader-Diet Nog with the added bonus that everything Bader does, Rashad does better)

                                            I don't see Bigfoot winning, but if he does, it almost has to be by some luck ass KO.

                                            I might throw a little on it myself, nothing ridiculous though.

                                              I'm just not a fan of betting top 10 level HWs. Or any HWs really. Too much can change with 1 punch at this weight.

                                                    Oh no! I've also been exposed by the guy who doesn't even post plays anymore and then loses every event, but then somehow he changes his bets throughout the events and posts his secret arbs that no one knew about after the fights are over, which all are somehow fortunate winners....I've been exposed by that guy! what am I to do?!! My life is over!!!
