Hard one to pick a winner. Brock throws a hard punch, he KO'd Randy with it. Overeem's striking looked bad against Werdum because he didnt want to go to the ground, Werdum connected with more punches in that fight, only didn't have power on them. Overeem has a suspect chin, if he gets hit with a power shot, he will go down. That's why he doesn't throw combo's, watch him fight, it's all single shots with always one hand at the jaw. Brock should rush in throwing a huge bomb and aiming for the head, then go for takedown. Overeem is gonna have to move backwards and throw counter shots. But if Brock fights like Matt Horowich, non stop closing the distance, then it's hard to throw big bombs.

We all know, Overeem needs it on the feet, Brock on the ground. Overeems stamina was suspect last fight as well, because it was a "big pressure" fight, this one is even more pressure, I mean, first fight in the UFC, and first time without his normal corner who were with him the last 12 years. Brocks takedowns are also much better then Werdums, plus I hear Brock is in crazy shape right now.

Then again, one punch could stop everything, that's why this is gonna be a "pushing forward fight", Brock is coming forward non stop, closing the distance so the strikes have not as much power, and both fighters are gonna be tired after the first round because of the way they fight. One punch, either from Brock or Overeem can stop the fight. Don't wanna give a prediction, because, like I always say, logic won't work in a fight where both have KO power.
