I am really surprised so many people think Overeem will win. He's been knocked out by MWs. JDS is one of the hardest hitting HWs. I think it's pretty clear what will happen.

This is going to end up being a stand up war and Overeem has an advantage on his feet. Thats not to say JDS doesnt have a chance though. With his speed and power he can drop anybody. Im going with Overeem to win this one

I dont think Overreem has the better standup by any means. Werdum out struck Overeem, JDS will destroy him
Junior has the best hands in MMA, in my opinion. 
JDS by KO or TKO all day

Dos Sontos is gunna completely over whelm him.  Overreem striking is so overrated. He throws only power attack, no combination. Dos is just gunna pepper him over and over with shots while dodging almost all of overreems strikes. Dos over whelms in the first or second round.

People to have KO'd REEM:

Liddell, LHW
Shogun, LHW 2 times
Bobby Hoffman, HW
Rogerio, LHW
Kharitonov, HW  Whom he had KO'd previously

You have to remember that prides MW class was the UFC's LHW class.  Pride had the divisions set differently so WW for them was MW for UFC.  SO don't get it twisted when it says MW.

IF JDS comes in and shoots on Reem, that would be smart.  I think the reason that Reem will have success against JDS is the threat of being shot on isn't as great as it was with Brock.  Which is why Reem seemed more like a power puncher only in that fight.  But if you remember, Reem had some sick head movement in that fight dodging Brocks punches like Anderson Silva.  Now obviously JDS' hands are superiorly faster than Lesnar's but if Reem has the ability to only have to worry about JDS' boxing I think he has a really good shot of winning a striking battle.  Lets not forget Reem is a K-1 Champ.  what striking credentials does JDS bring to the table besides those anointed by fans and media?

Credentials doesnt mean ****, what matters is the current person and what they are capable of
and the current JDS beats the current Allistair all day in my opinion. And k-1 champions arent really that great are they? I mean, wasnt bob sapp a k-1 champ?

So Reem got KO'd by Liddell, who is arguably one of the BEST KO artists of all time.  Pretty sure he KO'd Ortiz, Couture, Babalu, White, Horn and Mezger.

Apparently Chuck isn't what people think he is with that line of thinking. I am curious how he is listed on an ALL TIME GREATS list if you think getting KO'd by him is so shocking.

Maybe you don't remember Reem fighting at MW (pride class) when he first broke into the sport prior to him finding horse meat and turning into a HW.
