If Reem had Brock's chin, he'd be the champion.Right when I was gonna say reem keep your hands up he gets hitreem is turning into Brock
nikka got knocked
Reem is only good in distance as soon as his opponent closes that gap and get inside reem gets tore up. He gets hit with basic ass sht too like wtf were you training for nikka?

Makes sense. Rockhold and Vitor are ahead of him.

Might as well do Souza/kennedy
Yoel Romero is fighting Kennedy
Rockhold has lost already and Jacare has beat better competition. I honestly don't know what Dana problem is. Have him fight the Belfort/Weidman winner memorial day weekend(if everyone is healthy) I hope he doesn't make Jacare run some silly ass Gus/Hendricks gauntlet of beating everyone before finally getting the shot.

The same Brock that folded whenever he got hit hard? Brock's reaction and composure to getting hit was terrible.
Even with a decent chin, JDS & Cain would still smash him. Overeem's chin is only one of his major weaknesses. His striking defence, cardio, fight IQ, & heart are all pretty bad. He crumbles under any type of adversity.

Too many events/injuries and as a result, not enough high profile fights, which is why I believe the UFC is forcing fighters to fight rather than wait. Their goal is to:
- Pump out as many good fights as possible
- Fill out all these damn cards with solid fights.
Why sit out when you're healthy and your employer is looking for solid/high profile fights?
In my opinion, this was also one of the major reasons why they were so quickly to take back Thiago Silva.

Evans dances like his knees are
That Rothwell dance
Who right now makes sense for Jacare to fight tho? Definitely not Machida. I guess you can give him a busy fight against someone like Dolloway in March. But what if he injures himself? Who would Weidman fight in the summer? They are in a lose situation

Oh, so they just copied Rothwell's dance? I thought they were just glad Overeem lost. lol

You can give him Machida. Only problem is that Machida will likely beat him, knocking off a top contender. There is also: Dolloway, winner of Romero/Kennedy, & winner of Rockhold/Bisping. There are options that make sense.
Why would Jacare face him in March? Jacare should fight again at the end of this year, it could take place on the same card as Weidman/Vitor. And if he wins, he can fight for the title in early-mid 2015.
