@AllHailKrull Hunt had him against the cage and was completely nullified anyway, Werdum had no reason to shoot for takedowns against Browne and I seriously consider Alistar to be one of the all-time greats in terms of MMA grappling.
Oh, and Werdum actually did sub him once.

Also can anyone please explain me why the **** Hunt didn't went for the kill when he dropped Werdum several times but then he choose to go to the ground just because...if he was going to take that kind of ******* risk why didn't he went for it on the first place when he had Werdum hurt?....

I mean... There are some great pure grapplers out there but I can't even name a single one who had a clinch/ground game as smothering and devastating as Overeem's.
EDIT: Whose grappling is better in MMA? Frank Mir's or Alistair Overeem's? Some people might answer "Frank Mir's", but I wouldn't know how to even begin discussing it with those people.

I don't think he had Werdum hurt at all. I think Werdum just "went with it" and dove down to try and sucker Hunt in. Exactly what he did with Fedor. Despite what many people say Werdum has a really solid chin and has taken some big shots to prove it. Look at how many killers he fought and only 1 KO. I thought Hunt was pretty smart to just stay back and make him stand. I have no clue why Hunt later got down into his guard for no reason though lol.

LOL way to jump to crazy conclusions. First off fighters are not good enough actors to throw fights the way you are implying. Also really moving there head back in forth before fights is suspicious to you? You ever think they might be looking around at you know the crowed of thousands of people scream at them? Also between rounds you think it shady that they move there head back and forth? It normal dude. If your adrenalin is running and someone talking to you like there corner men, your not going to stare dead ahead your going to turn your head. Dude seriously, if you going to come up with conspiracy ****, at least have it make sense, instead of jumping to crazy conclusion based on very normal human reactions.

Judging that a few of his recent posts have been deleted already, he's probably heading for another one
