Why weren't those people posting their bet slips on the UG before the fight. The odds with Bigfoot were great. Fact of the matter is even though Pride fans were aware of his history, pretty much all of them were still fooled by his big muscley physique and recent succeses.

nofatchicks - He's not really all that good. Hindsight is 20/20, and the vast majority of people were saying before the fight that he was going to run through Bigfoot. |

eXtv -nofatchicks - He's not really all that good. As mentioned before, a lot of people thought he was something he wasn't when he started the horse meat diet. To me, he'll always be the guy that Chack kicked into Bolivia. |

I see this all the time after an upset loss, all these gloating douchebags come out of the woodwork acting like they called it all along and they knew something we all didn't. nofatchicks is just the latest in an unimaginably long line. |

I knew Silva was going to smash him the same way he smashed Brown. Silva is great against strikers but put him against Cain or even Werdum and he's gonna struggle!

I didn't say I knew he would lose, I said he's not all that good. There's a difference. In a battle of steroid monkeys, it's hard to predict who will outsteroid his opponent. |

I knew he was overrated and this fight wasn't going to be a cakewalk for Overeem. Overeem is a great fighter, but he isn't some unbeatable monster. He doesn't do well against guys who are very tough with lots of heart. Bigfoot is that kind of guy (see also Chuck Liddel, Kharitonov etc)

He is good, he just freezes the moment he gets tagged with a clean shot, and a good finisher can put him away. His defense in K1 approved dramatically because he could create that barrier with the big gloves but everyone knows that doesn't work as well in MMA. And I'm not knocking him, but it's a fact he doesn't react to punches as well as a lot of his peers do. That being said, it's amazing he wasn't knocked out cold against Bigfoot.. he was still staring at him as he crumpled to the canvas. |

Overeem is very good. He was dominating Bigfoot until he decided to throw strategy out the window. Lest we not forget how he started his career, nor how good he was after the rough patch, nor how well rounded he is. |

Plus he WAS winning till he got ktfo. If he had respected bigfoot more he would have won imo

He is good. He has all the skill he needs to beat any man on the planet. But he is flawed too. He never reacts well to pressure and getting hit. |

I never thought he was that great (relative to top level talent, of course) but I still thought he was gonna smash Bigfoot. |

I bet on silva, Maia, and lil nog. Only regret was it wasn't a parlay. I can only imagine what that would have been

Soup Nazi - I agree with this. He seemed like he was so overconfident that he didn't think he needed to do anything to win the fight. |

Posters here are hilarious.nofatchicks - He's not really all that good. this, but i knew he would beat him. i never thought reem was %100 going to lose, but him not being the huge intimidating guy was eventually gonna mentally bring out the skinny 205er that gives up once he is broken mentally. |

He folds under pressure, always has. The grappling hw's in the UFC will always be able to break him. |

I saw him get slept too many times to ever take him very seriously. |
