The fact that he kept flopping to his back cost him the fight. I thought he actually did more damage on the feet and half the fight was played in his guard. However, he never really threatened.

I don't know, Sherdog hasn't updated the third round yet to show me who won...oh..
Anyways, I'm betting on him meeting Barnett in the finals. Hope Barnett is the dog.Comment -
Overeem controlled the fight and did the most damage.Comment -
If Werdum wants the fight on the ground he can learn to do a takedown.Comment -
Werdum was resting up during the fight because he thought it started at a later time? It looked like he wanted to take a nap out there. How many times did he take himself down and lay there? Then he took forever to get up. If the judges rewarded him tonight do you realize how many rule changes would need to take place? Imagine if every fight ended like that. That was pathetic.Comment -
overeem was exposed...werdum punched him around the ring like he was a haeavy bag.....he`s so musclebound and slow it`s scary....
i always thought that k-1 was a tad overrated....now i know it for certain...
i shudder to think what dos santos would do to overeem....
looping right hands...one at a time....wide....
this is the great striker?...his hand speed was nil....Comment -
No. Ubereem did just enough to win it with the few takedowns, overall control, and the bigger shots.
But to me it came across as a mutual deal by both guys to cash in on a decision bet.
Not saying it happened... but neither fighter impressed.
AO's stock drops after this showing and I'll happily bet against him in his next fights given the right line.Comment -
I would cut Werdum after that performance, it was embarrassing. I cannot believe what i just saw. I hope people dont hate on Reem, its kind of hard to finish someone when they just lay on the ground and refuse to fight.Comment -
overeeem looked worse than werdum...if he wasn`t so roided up and super strong,he`d have nothing except knees....
he can`t throw a combination....he`s got a suspect gastank....
in short,he got beaten on the feet by a guy that was totally gassed...he loses a 5 round fight...
if this is the great overeeem,we`ve all been hoodwinked...Comment -
I agree cain or JDS would most likely win, but let's be fair to overeem. At least he wanted to fight. Werdum was just taking advantage of the clock trying to survive out there. He wanted no part of reem once he realized he couldn't get top control or even a take down. Reem looked slow and reminded me of that bob sapp guy from years ago. did anyone else think of Bob sapp when u saw this fight tonight?Comment -
Him being so big is what made me hedge my big play on Overeem by TKO/decision. When u are that muscular the chances of gassing are always going to be higher. Also, I was concerned about if he did end up on his back it would be harder for him to butt-scoot or just get up in general due to his huge frame! Finally, your right, his combinations aren't that great for a K1 fighter, think he is perhaps head-hunting nowadays due to the power he possesses.Comment -
Didn't think Werdum won it, but I was worried that the judges might somehow think he won it. Thankfully they didn't and my Overeem-Barnett parlay came through big.Comment -
I thought Werdum won the 3rd round. Very uninspiring fight by Overeem, I think Werdum threw him off his game by pulling guard over and over.Comment -
I thought Werdum definitely won the third. I think he hurt his knee in the 2nd after he landed a nice series of punches and Reem looked like he was a bit hurt, Werdum went down akwardly and after that he seemed to have a hard time getting up. I took Werdum live betting at +2000 in third thinking there was actually a chance he took the first as well. I'd have to see the numbers, but I think that Werdum outstruck Overeem in every round. The ground was a wash. It was just Werdums pathelic attempts to pull guard forn the majority of the fight that made him look like shit out there.Comment -
29-28 Reem.
First two rounds Alistair, last round Werdum.
Can't award Werdum for the behavior in the first two rounds. It was 2 to zero going into the third.Comment -
Well I believe if Werdum wasn't laying down half the fight then Overeem would have gotten the knockout. Werdum did what he had to do to survive I guessComment -
Werdum's baiting tactic pissed me off. BJJ guys really need to work on their wrestling and secure takedowns if they want to stay relevant. The Brazilian arrogance that one style can trump all is simply not true anymore.Comment -
nah reem!Comment -
seeing as overeem scored about 15 takedowns (are you saying those wouldn't be counted as takedowns in wrestling? if it's adcc rules, it still counts as -1 point for werdum), pretty sure it was a clear overeem win.Comment -
looked from here like werdum easily got the best of pretty much every striking exchange.....and there were more than a few...overeem looked like he was fighting under water...he`s slow....and ponderous...
has anybody checked this unbeatable monster`s recent winning streak?....
todd duffee/brett rogers/fujita/james thompson/tony sylvester/gary goodridge/a no contest with mirko/mark hunt/tae hyun lee/paul buentello.....
and people make fun of fedor`s record?.....
if not for the flopping,overeem very easily loses....
now we know why this guy needs pharmacological help........he had real trouble beating the top dogs at 205 in pride....
exposed....he should stay the hell away from the ufc(certainly as far away from velasquez and dos santos as possible)......Comment -
If Werdum would have kept it standing the whole fight it was a matter of time before he would have been knocked out, and he knew it. He was surviving.Comment -
Werdum landed some shots. I thought it was kind of funny when they asked overeem if he got hurt by any of them and it it took him like 8 breaths to say "no"....Comment
