Laugh all ya want Forrest vs Overeem would go like Chuck vs Overeem except Forrest probaby couldn't finish Overeem, unless of course Overeem KO'd him which can definitely happen.

only diff is, Chuck survived cuz he took Overeem down.. I dunno if Forrest can do the same.. I think you would supplement those takedowns Chuck had with more of Overeem kneeing the crap outta Forrest.. and who knows if he would survive it, Chuck was close to bein' out in that fight I remember clearly when Overeem rocked him pretty bad and he went right for the takedown almost out of desperation.. but it would be closer then most think just cuz Overeem runs on E all the time.

Overeem can outrstrike Belfort. He'd KO Forrest in no time.

Rashad should be in top ten if he finishes his next opponent.

I believe on that site he is ranked 11th right now. Guy has so much potential.

He also gave Shogun a run for his money untill he gassed like usual.

Thats really his one big weakness is gassing. I think hes so tall that cutting weight is what fatigues him. I liked him fighting as a heavyweight recently and he did some training with fedor before fighting as a heavyweight to improve his ground game. I wonder if he plans to fight as a h.w. or l.h.w.
in the future.

i dont think forrest would touch him. i dont know about his chin i've never really seen it tested, tito and bonnar dont count. i think AO catches him with a dirty combo and its lights out.

i disagree. rashad hasn't fought anyone yet. and his next opponent is another no name. they need to give evans some better competitions so we can really see where he's at.

but i do think alistair should be in the top ten. he has fought nothing but bad asses, struggling to guys like arona, lil nog, shogun and liddell.....that's hardley anything to be ashamed with. but he's pretty much fought the best.

Overeem has GREAT potential. If you've seen most of his fights, he usually dominates before he gasses.

Best example? Overeem vs. Shogun. Overeem was killing Shogun on the feet, and took him down at will. He also fought off all takedowns from Shogun (Shogun took down Rogério Nogueira many times in their fights). He was doing well until he was on his back after a failed guillotine attempt, just gassed.

He just needs to work on stamina and fight less. He could be top 5 one day, but right now with his tiny gas tank, he's perfect for me at #10 or #9.

His most suitable weight class is must be at HW IMO. I've heard he has trouble cutting to LHW.
