Wow, Overeem actually looked bigger than Brock.
The Thing VS The Incredible Hulk
I saw them fight once on an episode of the fantastic four when i was a kid.
Overeem is more ripped but Brock is wider and is definitely thicker.
To be fair Overeem probably has the bigger arms
Brock also has a lot more fat. I am not saying he is chubby or anything (the dude is jacked) but he is probably around 12-15% body fat while Overeem is more like 6-8%. Regardless these are two BIG dudes. Imagine the sound if there are any slams!
It's the first Brock faces someone who is as strong as he is. In his past fights, he was able to win because he was the biggest and the strongest but he won't have this significant advantage against Overeem. If brock wants to win he'll have to be well-prepared, have an intelligent gameplan and show what he's worth on the technical level.I already said it but I think it's something that will play a major role in the fight. Overeem striking, experience and strength will be enough to handle Brock if you want my opinion.
@JDnextchamp,
Brock will have developed much more static strength than Overeem, who will have developed much more explosive strength as a striker. Cardio vascular conditioning will be the telling factor if this fight gets in to round two, (that's a big if).
I do agree with you however, Overeem has the overall advantage. Although personally, I would like to see Brock win.
This is going to be excellent. All Overeem has to do is land that one shot to put away Brock, but on the contrary all Brock has to do is get that one takedown and work some GnP. Very excited to see what will happen.
The Unstoppable Force meets the Immovable Object! Existence as we know it is going to cease once they collide.
Yeah, I actually heard a theory That alternate universes are created every time these two guys fight in the previous universe. Ed Witten said that I think.
This will be F**ing awesome!!
Wow. This will be epic.
Lesnar is making all of us rich :D Really hope he doesn't get cut after this fight!
The human growth hormone heavy weight championship of the world.
