I wonder what would happen if the ref just let them fight. If he didn't force Werdum to stand up, and Werdum just chasd him around the cage with his butt scoots... Would Overeem eventually engage him? If not, would every round be 10-10? Who is really avoiding the fight? Werdum flopped down, but then again, he is chasing him around... I kind of wish we didn't have that rule just to see what would happen.

In all seriousness, if that were to happen, it would probably be 3 rounds of Overeem kicking Werdum's legs and maybe throwing the occasional axe kick. Werdum woud occasionally try to explode up and grab a leg, and Overeem would move away.

Overeem would still win due to effective offense.

^^ dude got subbed like 4 times... good for him hanging in there. But I still gave the fight to Almeida, and this news only confirms and emboldens me.

"Conor Heun had his arm broken and possibly tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee as a result of separate submission attempts from Magno Almeida at Strikeforce “Overeem vs. Werdum.”


I knew that armbar looked sunk.

Rankings are a mix of speculation and accomplishment. That is the case in every sport, it has to be.

Anyway, Cain is definitely #1 IMO and JDS is definitely #2 IMO. They both have quality wins over top 10 guys and no losses in recent history. After that, it is a free for all.

The UFC needs these HWs though.

That Werdum gif is classic. I don't fault him for trying to goad Overeem to come to the ground... but he really does look like a douche. His shot was weak, I expected his wrestling to be better. He is a guard player though, he likes to be on bottom, but you still have to work on the takedowns in modern MMA.

Heres what they should look like regardless of experience.

Cain
Silva
Barnett
Cormier
Fedor
Overeem
JDS
Werdum
Carwin
Lesnar


Flame Away

[Svino]

FWIW, my list:

Cain
JDS
Overeem
Lesnar
Werdum
Carwin
Silva
Fedor
Barnett
Mir

Biggest question is probably Mir's placement. I'm sure Sherdog would keep him ahead of Silva, Fedor, and Barnett.
