To think that Reem put up the best fight against Stipe in a while and choked it away...

I went 3-1-1 tonight. Only fight I picked wrong was Edgar vs Yair because I thought Frankie might finally look old.
I'll take that

Many fighters today had questionable executions of their gameplans. I bet a lot of peoples bets were all over the place - Even the JJ/Andrade was a lot more 1 sided than expected.

3/5, not bad, I guess.
He does that pointing thing in every fight.

Only thing holding Reem back is his chin.
I think if he gets past Werdum he could beat Stipe.

That's what it's starting to look like and I am ok with this. The man has incredible power

Between his injuries and personality I forgot Cain existed.
Thankx Obliterator.
The PS4 stream was almost perfect. HD and stayed HD. Only one small part when it went all black, but all I had to do was quit and quickly start it.
So I noticed that they are using Vevo for the stream. This was totally different experience that what I remember before.
One hell of a deal at $45. Will do again.

Chin is gone, and the top talent doesn't fear him like he was feared several years ago. Doesn't help that he only had one fight between this one and his fight with Overeem in 2015.

He is scary if you are afraid of pillow punches

Hey! No problem. Yeah the UFC app has gotten much better. Only $45 for HD PPV vs the usual $60 is hard to pass up. Glad to see PlayStation has taken this seriously and have improved performance because early on it was really rough
I agree. I think they both basically broke each other.

I wouldn't doubt it, lol. Overeem is mostly like that lately but he is slowly learning how to fight smarter and pick his shots. But....
Like Rumblebones said, Overeem has one of the worst chins in the heavyweight scene. But more importantly, he has mental issues during his fights when things aren't going his way. Like I pointed out, he is learning though.
Overeem can be a champion if he learns to control his mind better.
But Francis is another monster. The dude is badass. I cannot wait to see him fight again.
I'm confused, you're saying JDS has pillow fists?
Solaire of Astora
Death by black JPN
And it's clearly working out for him.
I'm just not a fan of pre-fight trash talking or taunting. I much prefer it when the fighters show respect to each other. Kudos to Junior for being respectful afterwards though.

Watching the post fight Stipe looks in a lot of pain. He's playing it off but I think his shin is broken
Fucking perfect lol
Holy shit
Once you break your hands a few times, you don't hit like you used to.

Junior in his prime was terrifying.
But he's been through multiple wars and Stipe has actual nuclear bombs for fists. His last 5 wins are all KOs.

lol, okay. There's always one.
Yeah, what this guy lacks is mental strength... holy shit, some opinions are just not reality based.
Oh I was confused, thought he meant Junior had pillow hands his entire career.
Reem's whole system is fucked up from years of crazy PED abuse.
lmao namajumas

That was a hell of thing to watch.
Fucking awful.
She knew how bad her Alien promo was going to be.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Shit. That too. It's paying its toll on Overeem's mind and body now.

Saw that on Twitter. Happy for them.
He got tagged really fucking hard and got dropped. He was done as soon as he hit the ground. How does that show zero mental strength? Poor fight IQ for immediately putting his back against the fence, yes.
He had enough sense to put his hands around his head and he got up immediately after the fight was called. He basically gave up.

I feel like Helwani's prying may have gone too far tonight. He may have ruined his relationship with JJ. He made her cry and leave the stage during the post fight press conference by asking too much behind the scenes info about ATT and her camp.
May have not been a good move at all
