  I actually disagree! lol
  
  penn's jujitsu is on another planet, but its edgars wrestling! wrestling trumps jujitsu in taking your oponent down. its the main reason UK fighters struggle against the american's
  
  Now Ben Henderson is so difficult to take down and thats his wrestling and the size of his legs! Edgar is going to find it difficult, but he has managed to take down every fighter he has faced. If he cant take Henderson down, he is in serious trouble.
  
  Oh, then he was in trouble in his last fight wasnt he! lol That man Edgar is fucking ridiculous

  he is but i still think its just because penn didn't train the right way for those fights i don't know what it is but i'm sure he is still a more ABLE fighter than anyone in his division ever. its true what you say about wrestling and even penns amazing balance didn't save him, i still think if they both trained in the most ideal perfect way and were both equally determined, penn is the better fighter. but we'll never know i guess. and welterweight definitely is not his division at all.
  
  i actually heard he fought a striking match again MACHIDA early in his career lol???

  Edgar looks better with every fight. I still can't quite understand how he survived the first round of the fight with Maynard (the first fight). His conditioning seems to be phenomenal which has to be helped by the fact that he does'nt cut weight.
  I'm not sure that BJ gave him the respect he deserved in the first fight but Edgar dominated the secong fight and seemed to be able to take BJ down at will. It's a shame that BJ never seemed to be as dedictated to his training as say GSP for example as he could have been almost unbeatable. If you remember the trouble Matt Hughes had in taking him down in their second fight when BJ just hopped around on one leg. Hughes said at the time that after the first round he did'nt care if he lost the fight he just wanted to take BJ down.

  yea exactly thats what i am talking about it is such a damn shame that he never really fulfilled his potential which is actualy a crazy thing to say considering all of his achievements and i agree he could have been almost unbeatable, but there you go, still an amazing fighter and amazing career
  
  frankie has all my respect, amazing conditioning, wrestling, chin and most importantly heart, true champion

  Overeem and Lesnar fight cannott wait !!! who do you reckon will win there both beasts its like godzilla against king kong aha in my opinion overeem will win TKO 3rd round ??

  Timm24 > 23/11/2011, 14:15

  i am going with overeem as well and i think i am going with overeem EVEN IF brock takes him down which most people think then brock will win. i actually have doubts about brock whether or not he is still the same fighter he was before diverticulitis

  Brock has to take Overeem down unless he has learnt to box since his last fight! lol
  
  Lesnar wins if he takes Overeem down as he is a world class wrestler and would either hammerfist Overeem head thru the canvas or submit him with a choke holf
  
  If Brock fails to take Overeem down, then he dosent have much hope, unless like i said, he has learnt to box. with overeem being a world class striker, i can only see one winner in the standup game
  
  these wrestlers versus striker fights are always intriguing and often suprise everybody how they end up. Will the strike take the wrestler down? will the wrestler stand and trade?
  
  I, most of the MMA community cannot wait. should be explosive either way!

  Its a bit early to make a prediction yet (basically I can't make up my mind). Its been mentioned already but I do think an awful lot depends of Brocks health. We're all assuming that he will be as explosive a wrestler as he was in the past and if this is the case then he has a great chance but if he can't get overeem down early then he could be in trouble (unless of course his stand up has improved dramatically). Can't wait for the fight though .

  Brock has said he its the first time in like 10 years he has been able to train at 100%. Dr's told him he was probably only working at 70% before, so if thats what the experts are saying, he should be amazing!
  
  And me saying the fight being explosive wasnt just me thinking of brocks wrestling! Overeem is coming to knock Brock out! This fight could be quicker than the Cain Velasquez v Brock Lesnar fight!

  i hope its true what brock is saying about his health because it would make for an awesome fight, but fighter are always talking up their training methods etc, actually they seem to do this more when they are in particularly bad shape. look at how much rampage talked about how in some ways he's trained more effectively than ever before in the run up to the rashad evans fight.
  
  so i hope he's going at 100% but i would not take his word for it.
  
  i also hope 100% of overeem shows up because against werdum he was decidedly not 100%. i can't wait though can't believe we gotta wait more than a month. well hey have to do with jones machida in the meantime not too bad lol
