Awwww shite....I'm pumped about the Lombard signing. About time. Winner of Paul Harris/Belcher?

Wonder where Overeem goes from here. Has he burned his bridges with Golden Glory? Can he go back to K1?

Yeah, me too. I just did not realize he was that old(34). I don't think Dana would want him fighting Paul Harris right now, especially the way he has been taking peoples arms/legs home with him lately. Now if Belcher wins that would probably be a better style matchup. Primarily striker vs striker.

Dont forget that Lombard has Olympic level judo and a black belt in BJJ. I think sometimes people for get because he K people TFO.

He won via heel hook 2 fights ago (according to Wikipedia). He's only 2 years older than Palhares (32)..... I'd love to see that match-up if he gets past Belcher. Heel hooks & knee bars scare the shite out of me.....therefore Palhares scares the shite out of me

I am pretty f'n stoked about Lombard Signing with UFC. Would love to see him and Belcher. I think that would be a pretty decent fight. As far as the reem is concerned I am not surprised one bit that his license was denied, but what I am surprised by is the 9month suspension. Leaves him open to fight at the New Year Eves weekend show for UFC, against who?

I don't think Mir will beat him next month. And if Overeem is truly back in December, I could see them giving him an immediate title shot. AO first has to piss clean and get reinstated.....

While I am intrigued by that match-up, I actually hope he never gets the title shot as he doesn't deserve it. JDS is the true champ

We all know that AO got so big because of eating tainted horse meat. My question is; now that he's been busted, how does he keep the size on? I'm anxious to see his build in 9 mths.

No way will he keep up the muscle mass if he truly is clean, but no way he ever drops back down to LHW either. I highly doubt he ever stops cutting corners either.....
