UFC Fight Night 87: Overeem vs. Arlovski

[NZB2323]

Reem deserves next shot. Great finish by him, and should face the Werdum/Stipe winner next. Cain should fight one more time after he beats Browne. Reem has earned it by fighting consistently, while Cain barely fights once a year. He has fought only 6 times the last 5 year (fought 4 times against the same two guys- Bigfoot and JDS).

On another note, it is time for Bigfoot to retire or fight in some lower level promotion (i.e. Rizin, WSOF, etc.). Guy is winless in 6 of his last 7 fights (knocked out 5 times in the first round). He is not the same post-TRT, as he was prior to that. He is not a UFC level fighter.

That's totally not Cain's fault though. He fought the fights that the UFC matchmakers made.

Fun main card. I honestly skipped most of the women's bouts though but I did catch the end of that Dutch girl's knee to body KO, that was sick.

Gunnie looked alright out there, he got what he wanted with those takedowns but he was getting tagged consistently out there which I didn't like.

Struve annihilation of Bigfoot was ugly...Bigfoot had no business being in that cage and I hope he retires or at least gets cut.

Reem/Arlovski wasn't too bad of a fight. Like CBR already mentioned, Reem's physique is uhhhh. Not saying I have the physique of a Greek god myself but that gut, lack of definition and general downsizing just screams USADA to me. It's one thing to lose size to gain quickness and better cardio, it's another to lose muscle mass while putting on noticeable fat. Anyway, that finish was awesome. That crane kick to stun Arlovski and the finish with the same left hook of doom that Reem has used in the past to finish guys like JDS and Badr Hari

The lack of upperback is hilarious. Remember those traps he had back in the day?? Hulked over. Look at his lats now. Flat as can be.

Vicious driving left hook there, though.

Dude used to be super shredded too which was the biggest thing. To be 250+ and also be shredded is crazy difficult.

His performance hasn't declined so I doubt there is anything fishy. If anything, he's probably on a juice only diet.
