| Yea, Overeem handled him pretty easily. Big left hooks put Badr on his arse both times, second one was vicious. |

| I was surprised to see Mark Hunt go down. I don't recall seeing him ever go down due to a blow to the head. |

Ooooooooooooooh an excellent way to spend new year!
Happy New Year Badr! |
Sweet! The only thing missing was Overeem stomping Badr's head after he went down. |

Hey, looks like no one is even bothering to mention how Hong Man Choi fared in his bout against "Cro Crop" ...
Round 1
Choi begins walking Crocop down, and Cropcop circles on the outside, dropping low kicks to the legs of the Korean. Choi is follows Mirko, trying to paw at him with non-committal jabs and push kicks. Mirko attempts a high kick that just misses a flinching Choi. Mirko lunges with a left hook and gets pegged in the face with a hard jab for his troubles. More circling from both men before Mirko throws a mid kick that Choi catches and upsets his balance. Mirko stumbles back but Choi is unable to capitalize, allowing the Croation to get to his feet. They return to circling, Choi at the center, throwing small jabs as Mirko looks for openings, throwing the occasional low kick. Mirko parries Choi�s jabs as he retreats. Choi tries to chase Mirko down with a few punches, but Mirko runs and only gets grazed. Choi finally corners Crocop and pushes him into a corner. Mirko attempts to get underhooks and knees Choi to the body once. Referee Noguchi breaks them apart and warns both Choi and Crocop for what appears to be inactivity. They resume the game of circling again, Crocop backpedalling once more. Referee Noguchi stops the bout and issues a yellow card to both men for inactivity and evasiveness. Upon resuming, however, Mirko backpedals as Choi lumbers after him. Choi pumps some jabs at Corcop and traps him momentarily in the corner before Mirko spins out and lands a low kick to Choi�s groin. They stop the bout momentarily for Choi to recover. Upon recovering, Mirko slams a big left kick to the left leg of a forward moving Choi, who attempts to check it, but gets hurt doing so. As Choi�s leg drops, it cannot support his weight, and the Techno Goliath falls. Choi grasps his knee in pain as referee Daisuke Noguchi jumps in to call the bout at 6:32 in the first.
After the bout, Mirko announces that he will be taking the next six months off, on account of knee surgery.

"Cro Crop" might have hurt his knee from all the backpedaling and running he did before his illegal kick to the groin set up his big kick to Choi's knee ... |

I think my IQ falls whenever I watch people ineptly trying to bash each other's heads (and knees) for money and glory.
Speaking of low IQs, I just finished watching The Wrestler, and I must say that it delivers realistic hardcore ring action, great acting by Mickey Rourke, and Marisa Tomei dancing naked on a pole - altogether a truly fine entertainment package...

me too kinda, but i think he's in the old now and should retire. he attacked carelessly and ended up getting all his weight used against him. he's always had a good chin but probably (can't say i've seen all his fights or remember the ones i've seen exactly) never lunged into it like he did there.
there's no way he can maintain his old style and win fights (that being not worrying about defense basically). the youngins are simply too strong and fast and if he wants to eek out a victory or two, he'll have to adapt his style to a defensive one and hope to get his big punch in before the opponent gets his in.
as with any fighter, once they get knocked out in a big way, they become more susceptible to it in the future. and it's harder to recover as one ages. not to mention all the blows he's taken to the head up to now, even though he didn't get KO'd at the time. |

Overeem looks a lot bigger than he did before. Steroids...or is it natural?
Crocop used to be scrawny in the beginning too, but he's pretty big now. |
