Overeem is on a roll and looks unstoppable.
Overeem won’t pass the steroid test and looks very stoppable.
he’s a roid head lol 205-250+ in just over a year lol thats like saying I ever even had a chance beating Fedor.
Overeem is on roids and looks untestable.

“”he’s a roid head lol 205-250+ in just over a year lol thats like saying I ever even had a chance beating Fedor.”"
Um no…….he fought in Strikeforce at 224 in Nov of 07 so unless he cut to 205 after that fight and then hit 254 on NYE then yes he went from 205 to 250 in a little over a year. Or if you knew what you were talking about he went from 224 to 253 in a little over a year.
Overeem is gonna smash Mir, Lesnar, and probably Fedor.

Since he’ll have to languish in UFC if he wins the HW TItle (until he loses), I hope he fights in Affliction first against guys like AA, Sylvia, Barnett, and Fedor on NYE.
After those fights, then go over to UFC and beat green Lesnar with his crazy knees and take out Mir, who is nowhere near quick enough standing to hang with Overreem.
Overeem is very talented, but he has a glass skull. It’s something that no matter how great he is, will always hold him back.
