alistair overeem is in talks with the ufc and he was at 93 talking to dana and they are obviously trying to work it out.... if he comes to the ufc, do you think he will go through everyone?
i vote yes
I hope so!
that guy just blewup in the past couple years, i mean hast he fought vitor not too long ago at pride, hed be pretty hard pressed just to make the 265 limit the way hes going, anywayz him vs. kongo would be a great first fight in the ufc
He's too weak on the ground. He'd get submitted or GNP'd by the top guys.

Overeem gives everyone hell in the start but he has no durability he fades once a guy handles his intial onslaught and starts fighting back.

typical noob that has never seen Overeem fight
He would be a welcome addition, as he is always entertaining. I think he could beat anyone but he would probably lose his fair share of fights as well.
If he does sign, it will be 1 introduction fight and then straight to a title shot, because Overeem isn't gonna be cheap. Whether he stays with FEG or goes to UFC, he will be pulling down at least 200k per fight
I wouldn't say "would he." That's a leading question. I'd say that he has all of the tools to be though. His new ginormous size, quickness for his size, extremely devastating standup, a great chin, and good grappling. He also seems to be "on" now, unlike when he was a little 205er and not filled out/matured like he is now. He's also a Dutch kickboxer, which arguably have the best Muay Thai in the world (or is that arguable?).
I don't see too many able to deal with him in the UFC HW Div. I think he'd give Brock some serious problems. But I'd like to see him blast through a couple of UFC Heavies before facing Brock.
Alistair is just now starting to reach his peak.
victorpoprock - I think right now, put him in with Brock and he would knock his block off. I seriously don't see anyone in the UFC HW division that would be favored to win against Overeem.
Actually I agree. He should go against Brock now. He's on fire like Anderson right now. Although I think he's going to be that way for awhile now. He just now started blowing up.
also wonder if he loses weight if he fights in the us...if you, ahem, know what i mean

U got a bad cough sir? Ricola is the best way to keep it check

Brock hasn't seemed to, so I think he'll be okay there hater.
*Ahem!
damn right im a hater, id love to put on damn near 40 pounds of muscle in 2 years, oh and thanks just grabbed a ricola, works wonders
He's still young and has the potential to be UFC HW champ, but then he's also been fighting for a long time now and has been hot and cold throughout his career.
I would like to see him train at a place like Greg Jackson to prepare for fights in order to have someone that will really game-plan for him. I've always felt that was his one big weakness, that he doesn't necessary play to his strengths. He just goes in and throws down regardless of what happens.
Alistairs ground game is gotten quite good. His striking has always been his strongest point.
I think it would be a great addition to the UFC.
No he's not hot and cold anymore. Go and look at his record twit. That was years ago when he was 205 kid.
Good try. But you might want to update your shit there gay...ooops i meant guy.

You're right. I'd love to see completely maul Shogun now. First manslaughter in the UFC if that shit happened today.
These dumb ass hillibillies are going off the Alistair from 205, years ago before he filled out. They are just hating on him because he would tool their Cock Chestner WWF star or whatever. Fuckin hicks.
Shut the fuck up both of you bitchy little pencil neck haters.
You dirty, ignorant, beerbelly hillbillies are just fuming jealous (like a hater) because his fine ass girlfriend is something you could only dream about.
