IF Reem ever gets a fight vs verdum, miocic or even prolly Cain I'm betting everything I have against him
Why? Outside of the first like 2 minutes where it looked like he was thrown off by Arlovskis bull rush, he looked good. Completely controlled the fight and didn't allow Arlovski to land anything at all. And that was against an Arlovski who fought to his full potential, not scared Arlovski.
Overeem is a tough fight for all those guys you listed. His grappling is very, very good and so is his striking.

Got 1st place in today's DraftKing event; however, it's a 15-way tie, and the prize pool isn't as big as usual, so what originally looked like an $800 score ends up being a $201 for 1st place. Also won $55 in additional minor placings.
This is the 4th time or so that I've gotten 1st place and had to share the prize with several people. I'm still searching for my first big score, which is anything over $500. I still haven't done well in a PPV event on DK. Most of my scores are $100+.
that would be a sample size of 1 sir; not a good indicator of general trends. you know what i mean. All the DFS pros stack 10 of the same lineups figuring each will be +ev even though winnings decline from 1-through whatever since they make way better picks than the field. It just shits on the casuals

I just think arlovski is pretty dam washed up and reem fights like his face is made of glass (which it is) so i just don't see him beating those guys in any sort of brawl. just needs to land his 1 hitter quitter. there is a reason his sig strike % is 75% while the average of the division is 46%

He isn't going to brawl with them... Since his last KO loss he's pretty extremely hard to hit. He's stopped being a stationary tank and has learned that you can't just cover up in MMA like in K-1. He moves around a lot and is very hard to hit. He is very defensive and picks his shots now which is absolutely the perfect strategy for a guy with a mediocre chin who hits like a tank.
Arlovski fought the best fight he could tonight, he came out very aggressive and went after Reem. Arlovski's offense when he isn't scared is still really good, and he couldn't do shit to Reem.
And Reems grappling is beastly.
Obviously he's always one shot away from a loss, but skill wise I'd say Reem is probably the best HW right now.

I went here!! Was awesome. Made a bunch of money off of the main event by betting on Overeem. I thought Arlovski's gameplan with rushing in early was good, but difficult/impossible to keep doing that over time. I hope Reem will become a champion.

Overeem is good, he can probably beat mostly anyone except Cain. Arlovski is better than before, but nowhere really. He doesn't have anything special, with a weak chin and bad technique, what he has isn't enough against the top-level fighters.
