.......ugh...I've been driving the Overeem bandwagon for sometime now, last night fucking sucked! But I have to give credit to Bigfoot, he's no fucking joke. He was a champ for a good reason and on any given night he's a dangerous fighter. Overeem is not "over rated" he just got lazy and thought he was Anderson Silva. He also forgot how to recover after he gets hurt, or maybe he never learned. Standing there and exchanging shots was dumb, had he shot or maybe even rolled and pulled guard, he could have survived and won the fight by two rounds. He has to do a better job at thinking in the cage, that's the difference between winning and losing for many top fighters. I did like his wrestling game in the 2nd. I hope he continues to improve that. Otherwise this was a huge loss for him and now Bigfoot has become the man who beat Fedor and Overreem. This is no "small feet"......  ....ugh ok....
I hope beating Rashad earns Little Nog some respect and much needed attention. he didn't finish him, but I think he can make the case to take on another top contender and start making a run. I'd love to see one of the nogs hold a UFC belt, Big Nog probably has a better chance though....
I think Aldo clearly won the fight. Frankie is tough and lands lots of little shots and nice combos. But he get's his ass kicked by more athletic fighters. It's a sport but it's also a fight. and judges are going to be less inclined to give a fight to a guy who looks like frankie does at the end of a fight, especially when Aldo barely seems to have a scratch on him. That superman punch of the cage needs to be a Gif. because that was fucking awesome! |
Overeem didn't deserve a win fighting with such arrogance. I'd still say Overeem would win a rematch but he should respect every heavyweights power. Also gotta agree on his wrestling, looks like he's picking up a thing or two from Rashad.
I never understood the hate on lil nog. He's a solid fighter who's been stuck in the shadow of his brother. I thought he got robbed against Davis and Bader. After getting so many wrestlers, he's been getting so good with his tdd. Not to take anything away from nog, Rashad looked horrible as fuck too. He just didn't seem to know what he was gonna do.
As for the main event, I had it 2-2 with the 3rd being the deciding factor. It was anybody's fight, this is why Frankie should never be counted outta any fight.
