I said this in the lead up. Overeem is Schroedinger's fighter. Even in great runs, there are terrible performances where he looks like an idiot, well back in Pride. He'd brutalise Sergei right after gassing out and losing to Shogun, or end a twelve fight win streak by running away from Chuck. He's all over the loving shop, and that's why he's fun/tragic. He's like if a Coen Bros movie was a fighter.

No way that's the co-main for Cormier/Volkan, right? Heavyweight championship goes on last I assume

Cormier / Volkan is co-main, which I think is fair, Ngannou is way more hot right now then Volkan is, so better as a headliner.

He managed to lay atop Josh Barnett to no ill effect, but that was thousands of rounds of AKA sparring ago, which I believe is just Crazy Bob Cook trying to run people over with his truck. So I think DC would get his head caved in at this point.

The funny thing about UFC 220 being Miocic v Ngannou, Cormier v Volkan is that the most likely way for both champs to lose is to basically put to sleep with one punch from hell. It'd be a fucker if both the main and co-main ended inside a couple of minutes.

I'm all alone on the Volkan Oezdemir bandwagon. It's not so bad. Lots of leg room.

Short distance power is awesome.

I'm not sure if I'm on the bandwagon, but I think it'd be funny as gently caress if he wins. The only thing that would be better is if he and junior babby are champs at the same time - the weirdly frumpy white guys on top of their divisions.

"Short distance power" is a good way to put it too. The more I think about it, DC has a tendency to put himself in positions to get cracked by that poo poo - live underdog.

A lot of people wrote off any chance of Volkan winning when the discussion was had quite a while ago before it was confirmed but the guy can crack and Cormier can get hit, even though he has an obscene ability to get back up and shrug it off like nothing happened. We've seen with Mark Hunt that eventually, the ability to get up from kill shots like nothing even happened goes away and goes hard.

It's way different from the Silva and Rumble fights, too. DC will have to go to this position to get the fight to where he has a clear advantage:



DC will probably win, but I'll probably watch it.

I think DC is going to have him so off balance in the clinch (ie immediately put him on his back) that Vulcan won't be able to generate power.

no chance. and lets not assume his technique and physical strength is better than gokus to begin with. to achieve ssj4 requires physical strength and discipline far beyond the reach of anyone who has found their limit as a mere ssj3

And that should be a pretty good fight.

Edit: Whittaker is now the Middleweight Champion.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Good on GSP for getting paid and then not holding up the division. Now the rightful champion, Bobby Knuckles, can cement himself as the best middleweight in the world.
