Overeem/Rogers: I totally see Overeem taking this. We know Rogers is tough but Overeem has much more experience. He should have a major advantage in the striking too. The only thing that comes to mind that is keeping me guessing is seeing how the Lawler/Manhoef fight turned out. I still see Overeem taking it however he wants though. If he opens at less then -200, I think I will be splurging on him.
Arlovski/Bigfoot: Arlovski should take this one. Bigfoot could definitely knock him out though. Does Arlovski training at Jackson's/AKA mean anything? I think it does and I will be putting some on Arlovski.
Those are my guesses. I will be on Roger. He is green, but he is also the best grappler in the entire world, and he is fighting another grappler. He is like 6'6 and Randleman is like 5'9. Even though Roger cannot strike to save his life, his legnth alone will be enough to control the standup and entice Randleman to take him down. As soon as it hits the mat, it will be over in 30 seconds (if there was a prop bet, how long can Randleman survive on the ground, I would go under 1 minute @ even money). That is how much of a bad ass Roger is.
I will be on Jacare most likely.
I will take AA if he is under -170.
Also, i hope you guys know I am just messing around with all the steroid stuff, just trying to annoy.
Roger is second best grappler in the world. Rickson is number one but I could be a little biased
Agreed. Rickson is the man. Why would you be biased though?
Do you also believe that he would beat Fedor and that he has a perfect 450-0 record?
Well he is like 56 and weighs about 180; so no, I don't think he would beat Fedor.
I don't believe he is 400-0. There is certainly some mythology going on there.
That said, he lost only once in all of his recorded grappling or mma fights. Ron Tripp beat him in a Sambo match by a takedown that stopped the match. Rickson claimed he did not know that a takedown would stop the match. Also, every one, EVERYONE, that has rolled with him says that he is the best. Even current mma and bjj guys say that Riskson could still beat their asses. You would think after 30 years, there would be at least one guy that came out and said that Rickson isnt that good. But it is the opposite, everyone who trains with him says that it is incredible and he does whatever he wants. Even guys like Roger and Jacare claim that Rickson could still beat them.
I have also personally seen Rickson chain-tap other blackbelts.
So there is some bs around him, but I know for a fact that he is legit.
^^^^ I just wish that, if he REALLY believes that he is "100% sure" that he could beat Fedor and all these other guys out there today that he'd step up and do it.
I'm sure he's a great BJJ guy, even at his age, but he runs his mouth too much without backing anything up for my taste.
