#98QBKiller Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i'm having trouble finding a single area that Rampage has the advantage Smack talk...that's about it. Even though I don't like Rashad, I would've rather seen that match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's been so long I almost forgot about the Strikeforce HWGP picks. Did anyone have a correct pick in the first two quarterfinal matches? Those were two pretty big upsets. I had Sergei by ko I think first round, but I had Fedor winning it all ---------- Post added June-15th-2011 at 03:57 PM ---------- i'm having trouble finding a single area that Rampage has the advantage boxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styx491 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Rampage can still KO anyone imo, people just don't let him get that close anymore, but Bones can punish his opponents harder and faster than Rampage. Bones has 3 inches in height and THIRTEEN inches in reach on Rampage, there is no way Jackson is getting within a foot of Jon Jones without getting hit, and that's just the punches and not counting kicks and knees.

Chachie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) i'm having trouble finding a single area that Rampage has the advantage boxing With Bones' reach advantage I'm not so sure. This is a bad matchup for Page. At least we know he'll be motivated... by fear. Edit- And for the record I'm rooting hard for Quentin. ---------- Post added June-15th-2011 at 07:34 PM ---------- Reem still has to show some sub defense to get me to believe he is the best in the world. And a chin. Honestly, he hasn't beaten anyone in Strikeforce that really impresses me. Therefore, Reem has yet to really impress me. (Admittedly I didn't see him in the K-1 tourney.)

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I actually think Overeems chin got better, I was surprised the head kick by Hari didn't ko him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Overeem's chin seems like it has gotten better. Is it because of the horse meat around his jawline? Improved striking defense? Maybe a little of both. His chin always stays tucked and his guard is always great to watch. It has to be daunting seeing big ass Overeem with the equivalent of a football facemask on, backing you in to the ropes and loading up with power. Knowing that if you duck, those fight changing knees are waiting to lift off. The exception to all this is if Werdum can clinch and trip The Reem, then **** gets real. Be sure that Werdum has been working on a few trips religiously. Or maybe he could just fake being hurt again and lure Overeem in to a trap? I think Werdum will be in that mode where BJJ specialists shoot for sloppy takedowns then roll on to their backs for safety. I see the ref saying "stand up" a lot in this fight, but it's probably the best strategy for Werdum. I'll bet on Reem landing something big before Werdum can get it to the ground.

LOL NO First round Werdum he gonna toy with his son in the standup. 2nd round Werdum gonna take his son down at will just to stand up again to show how much superior he is. 3rd round Werdum finally takes some pity and takes Overeem down passes mounts transititions to the back and wins by mata leao.

He is crafty and has a lot of confidence in his skills, Overeem is just an absolute destroyer. The key is in the Werdum takedowns, can he get inside and avoid shots in the clinch? Failed takedowns from Werdum are no bueno. Like I said, I see a lot of rolling on to his back if he doesn't get his takedowns. Will Werdum go all K-1 on us? Not likely, even testing those waters could spell disaster. Edited June 17, 2011 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fab makes it out of the 1st round, he wins this fight either by sub or by UD. I think this is where we find out if Reem ever really improved his stamina, which has always been one of the bigger knocks on his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I want Werdum to come out like he did last time with a flying kick. I am so excited for this weeks fight I can't wait. Jeff Monson and Cromier are fight as well that should be a very intriguing match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
