Prediction: correct Browne   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

This fight makes sense both guys are only a hair or two away from where they need to be, to be considered contenders. If Overeem doesn't get too confident he can win this but, had Travis Brown not gotten injured in his fight with Bigfoot I am pretty sure he would still be undefeated. Either way it should be an interesting fight that shouldn't go to a decision.

Prediction: wrong Overeem   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

This is Overeem's fight to lose. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but the Bigfoot fight was a fight he should've won and he got over confident and it cost him big time as he was in the end of one of the nastiest KO's in a while.

If Overeem loses this fight, I wouldn't be surprised if he was cut by the UFC specially if he's on the end of another ugly KO like he was last time against Bigfoot. I just don't see the UFC continuously spending money on a fighter who's lost 2 fights he was expected to win and who's a wildcard for drug test and could fail them at any given moment.

Overeem can easily sub him if he's not overly ****y and stands with him.

I do think Reem can win the standup but why risk it with that shotty chin...

Overeem is going to be gun shy after his last fight. Browne with the upset.

Overeem was being an ******* during his last fight. And Bigfoot made him pay. Overeem has always been one of my favorite HWs, but he deserved to lose that fight after that **** he pulled.

Prediction: wrong Overeem   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Personally I think people are underestimating Browne a little.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm still picking the Reem but, if Travis doesn't blow his knee out and uses that foot work of his well enough, I think he's quicker than Overeem and he definitely has enough power to KO him.

I could see Browne getting caught first though but if he moves enough I think he stands a good chance of winning too.

I have a feeling Browne will get this done and send Overeem and his high price tag packing.

I don't get how you could say that considering he has been tested positive one time and has 36 wins..

Overeem should win pretty handily. just needs to keep his hands up. Brownes not much of a striker, pretty much just overhands and wild strikes. he depends a lot on his speed.

Overeem won't survive if he get's tagged though.

Browne should try to wrestle Overeem.

Prediction: wrong Overeem   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  


I know Reem's chin isn't the best but hes the much better striker and he has a lot more power than Browne. 
If Browne wants to stand and bang I think it'll be a short night for him, Reem's a vicious dude.
