Personally, I see Overeem getting knocked out or pounded out. I think Werdum has a better chance of catching Fedor in a submission than Overeem has of beating Fedor.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping the politics in SF pushes Overeem to the UFC. I will reserve judgement on him juicing until it's validated.

The politics within strikeforce? It's his unwillingness to even fight in the US that's keeping him from fighting there. There's way more politics in the UFC.

Do you really think the politics in the UFC are going to be any simpler?

I can't see them allowing him to fight in K1 matches, unless dana has completely changed his mind.

He's going to need to be tested whenever he fights in the states, and if it's in California, their process allows them to pretest based on suspicion, under Douglas.

That's why he's been fighting in Japan.

Fedor has jumped in the ring with every single person preposed of him without hesitation, and I don't think overeem is the hardest opponent he has fought yet. I think he's trying to make a point to clean up this sport a little bit. He's known for being the best pound for pound fighter in the world, and he has a fairly average physique.

ok, now im not exactly on the AO is clean bandwagon myself but other than how he looks, does anyone have anything close to proof that he is on steriods????? and im not being sarcastic i am asking because i have never heard of anything but the well he looks statement.......yea barnett really looked like he was on roids too didnt he. while its not all that likely that AO change is natural, it is possible.

im pretty sure you and i agree on the he has faced everyone without hesitation. which is exactly my point. i dont think fedor really cares one way or another if AO is or isnt roided up. i think he isnt worried about AO. i still believe his management is. i mean its a completely different situation in strikeforce than in affliction right??? cuz if there worried about the fight cuz of what happend in affliction then everyone should start jumping ship to the ufc about mid march to avoid the rush this time

[rivethead]

I'm not sure what you think his management is worried about.

Do you mean they're probably worried about putting money, time and effort into a fight and having it fall apart at the last minute due to steroids?

or

Do you mean they're worried about AO's skillset?

I'm pretty sure Fedor fears no man, this is a business decision by M1, and a smart move IMO.

Oh come on...he's just been working out his forehead a lot. You know...brow crunches and whatnot.

Seriously though, anyone with nothing to hide would address these kind of rumors head on and volunteer for extensive testing, any time, anywhere.
