[NunyaBidness]

[JuicedUp]

[Vaughany]

Ubereem

[ghost kid]

Line is out. -115 either side.

[Vaughany]

Line out wer?

[ghost kid]

Bodog

[Nick The Greek]

Lesnar -115.

POUND IT! POUND IT! POUND IT!

[Vaughany]

Really?

[Vaughany]

I thought Lesnar would end up as dog if anything

[ghost kid]

Pound it. You guys are hilarious. Relax. December 30th is months away. I'm sure this fight will have two way action. Why would you hit it now at limits? It's not going to change much right now.

Personally. this is definitely a fight I would want to see a weigh-in for. Lots to examine here.

[NunyaBidness]

Lesnar -115.

POUND IT! POUND IT! POUND IT!

Yes, please pound it. Let me know when you're done though.

[Vaughany]

hahah

[Nick The Greek]

You guys actually like Overeem in this fight after that performance he had against Werdum?

[Vaughany]

I think it was more Werdum that made Overeem look bad by constantly falling to his back. I find it hard to back Lesnar after all the illnesses and long lay-off

You make a fair point that there is uncertainty about what kind of Lesnar will show up. But I believe if he's even half of what he used to be, he'll crush Overeem.

Overeem has zero cardio and a questionable chin. Even with all those roids in his body, he's still the same guy that got KO'd by Chuck, Shogun 2X, Lil Nog, Sergei, etc...

Once Lesnar hits him the wheels are gonna fall off.

I prefer the book to watching the movie.

[Chairib]

Overeem? Meh.

[Ladle]

Favour Overeem, but I wouldn't exactly be surprised if he threw in the towel after getting mauled a bit on the ground.

I think it's a fragile kind of match-up given both guys' offensive abilities and inability to deal with damage. Might only take one punch to spark the beginning of the end for Lesnar; might only take one takedown to spark the beginning of the end for Overeem.

[Educ8d Degener8]

I'll just play the "fight does not go distance prop" at -2,000,000,000 or whatever it's at...

[rocky mattioli]

is it a 5 rounder or a 3?...aren`t all main events 5`ers after a certain point in time?....

that makes it a little itchy because if overeem doesn`t get brock out early,not sure about his heart or staying power...

then,you have the lay-off and health issues regarding lesnar....

personally,right off the top(a bad way to wager)i think that overeem finishes lesnar early.....

[Beelzebubzy]

5 Rounder

[sweepem]

LOL @ 5 Rounder. The fight won't even last a full 1 round.

[rocky mattioli]

well,if it doesn`t end quickly(anything can happen and does),that would be very bad for overeem imo.....the younger,pre-roid overeem was known for starting fast and fizzling(like vs liddell)......

hard to believe this hulk ever fought liddell at 205....

[sirchadwick1]

I think I'll be playing Ubereem in rd 1 when the props come out.
This is a hard fight to call though.... Reem better finish it quickly or Lesnar will grind him.

[sportsfanatic]

i expect maybe the greatest number of ppvs yet

[Squareguy]

I think EVERY fight is a 5 round fight at this point. This is going to be a stacked card I'm guessing...I am curious as to why they are doing it on Friday the 30th instead of New Years Eve. Either way I would imagine they are getting 2 million + PPV buys on this one.

They will most liely get more buys with it not being on New Years Eve. I am assuming that is a major out of home saturday night

[Vaughany]

Lesnar -115.

POUND IT! POUND IT! POUND IT!

Down at -105 now, as I thought he'll end up plus underdog

Good thing I haven't begun to pound it yet.

[Chairib]

Overeem's wrestling is practically non-existent. What happens when Brock takes him down? He doesn't have much experience with wrestlers.

[Ladle]

Well, I'd actually say that Overeem's wrestling from the clinch is one of the most serially overlooked skills of any high-level fighter. He's fantastic with double unders. That said, I'm dubious of whether he can stop Lesnar's double leg, and Lesnar might only need to get on top one time. It's not as if Overeem's transformation as a heavyweight has addressed his lack of physical durability.

Well, we know what happens when Brock gets hit.

Arm triangle choke.
