drat Reem really took some shots that seemed just as hard as the ones that have wiped him out before. Reminded me of the JDS/Nelson fight a lot.

Why not? Overeem was consistently outlanding him, dropping him once in the last 30 seconds shouldnt win him the round

30-27 is perfectly reasonable, but the margin by which overeem won the second and third rounds was close enough that the magic power of the judges could have made for a hilarious call right there

i am sad that the judges are not comedy fans

Yeah. Actually 30-27 easily. This isn't boxing where a knockdown equals the round no matter what else happens.

To be fair, after the JDS and Hunt fights it's impressive that Roy can speak in complete sentences and identify basic shapes; making smart decisions in a fight is asking a lot

I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....
Reem is the agony and ecstasy of MMA man you gotta hate the guy and thedn he does something like puts a permanent red tattoo on Roy Nelsons gut and almost knees his head clean off like a rock n sock en robot. But the guy gets knocked out by Ben Rothwell and an amazing Ben ROthwell dance is seen by all and then knocks out Struve and now Roy Nelson gives the shittiest post fight interview stating how he can fight werdum or Cain.

I would love to see Cain vs Overeem just because I love to see Overeem get knocked out. I dont think he belongs in that discussion though like others have said he needs another fight JDS or Arlovski he has been ducking JDS for years (not really but I want to see JDS punch him)

Considering Overeem's answer to getting out of trouble when he gets rocked used to be dropping his hands and starring deeply into opponents eyes, I'd say it's a small step up in improving his defense. Baby steps, man.
