    Overeem vs Werdum

    Anyone else a little surprised Werdum is such a dog (currently +260) to Overeem?

    I'm a huge Uber-Reem fan but even I don't know that he should be this favored over Werdum. Granted they are both relatively different fighters since the last time they fought I'm still not sure Overeem has fought someone as good as Werdum in quite some time.

    I'm not really surprised... I'm on Ubereem as well at -260. The man has been on an absolute tear since 2007. I agree that Werdum is the toughest comp. he's faced in a long while though... but the only path to victory I can see for him is a sub. Most expect AO to (T)KO Werdum within 1. He will be way too much on the feet and his TDD has been stellar ever since he packed on the muscle. Werdum will probably have to pull guard to win.

    not surprised atall

    i see overeem as an absolute lock

    he will totally destroy werdum

    all you need to know is overeem won k1 and is on a tear in mma, and is now super strong, so werdum is going to have to stand with him. then go and watch werdum vs bigfoot, bigfoot drops him about 3 times, overeem will kill him

    No, I'm not surprised.

    Werdum hits hard, but I don't see him hitting Overeem. My big thought about the fight is this: their fight five years ago featured a 10 minute first round comprised of mostly clinching. Contrast what Overeem used to do in the clinch then, to how brutally he obliterates guys now. If they clinch like that again, Overeem is going to knee Werdum's guts out.

    Also, keep in mind that Werdum's best takedowns are all from the clinch. Just not a good set-up in light of how Overeem's game and physique have evolved.

    Paddy Power? I still have money riding on that line, though I think I got it when it was about +150. Such a steal.

    For some odd reason it seems like Werdum is over-estimating his own abilities in this fight, the interviews hes given almost make him seem cocky which I definitely think hurts him in the long-run. I like 'Reem here just felt like the line should have been a little lower.

    +400 at Paddy. I guess it's not a bad hedge to Overeem by T/KO if you wanted to play it really safe.
