Re: *Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum Official Discussion Thr
Overeem win's with a 1st round KO.
If Barnett get's to fight he will win with a submission..
Mousasi will beat Kyle,But he has to watch that power,Kyle did good against Big Foot until he got taken down..
Gilbert win's all the way.Mabe the best LW in the world.

Ya but if he doesnt hurry up and make his "official" thread, someone else might get to it and he wont get to have his name under it.

Re: *Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum Official Discussion Thr
now this card is littered with alot of possible upsets
Kawajiri lost to Gil before but it was cntraversial and this time aorund Kawajiri can win. his wrestling is top notch since he is a good shoot wrestler and shoot wrestling is very good. but im still rooting for Gil to win with better boxing
Werdum can submit overeem any second but Overeem is going to tko Werdum.
Pyle hits hard and as the underdog can win if Mousasi doesn train more in wrestling but i see Mousasi winning

Its in a month and so far there is nothing to discuss except for 1 fight haha. Wait until the actual event becomes official before making an official thread with fights that arent for sure happening.

Dude, this is one month away and you post rumors from other sites so why do you act like MMAJunkie is the only MMA site?
