That FN card in conn is looking stacked. Moose/Jacare are supposedly headlining it and Overeem/Rothwell is also on there. Lauzon/Chisea and Hester/Phillipou also. They giving Hester a striker finally. I see UFC magicians trying to stat pad Overeem with cans to get back in title contention but he may still find a way to get knocked out by Rothwell

I'm still waiting for JDS to crush in Reem's glass jaw. Whew, one day...

I doubt it. They need contenders bad because after Werdum there is no one else realistic So they believe this is a gimme fight. But Rothwell has one of the better chins in that division and is very hard to finish in addition to his KO power. Still very dangerous for Alistair

And we have Miocic. I have a feeling they give Overeem the next shot if he beats Rothwell. It's funny that Overeem has been given very favorable match-ups in the UFC and is still only 2-2.

I wouldnt say rothwell is a can..this is going to be a way harder fight for reem then people are giving credit.

I agree with you. I just don't like how they keep giving Reem these slow ass lower ranked HW when guys like JDS are still out there

Reem vs Rothwell is a pick 'em fight.

I would say the Reem takes this fight 7/10 times. Rothwell has a good chin, heart and power, but that's about it. Overeem should take this easily, but we've heard that before.

Build him up, they really want to see him fight for the title.
