I think if Dos Santos ends up fighting Overeem.......Overeem will win. His striking skills are as great...maybe even better, than Dos Santos. Overeem impressed me in the fact that both he and Fedor fought Brett Rogers over at Strikeforce. Fedor actually had a few problems with Rogers, but then beat him. Overeem made Rogers look like he wasn't even in the same league with him. Totally dominated Rogers. Anyway.....its just cool to have so many great fighters in the heavyweight division.
Overeem has never really been tested the way the top UFC guys have, but he is a scary mofo. It'll be interesting to see him against some real competition.
Time and time again we see people with HUGE hype come to the UFC and people think they are gonna just dominate. It's a different league, a higher level. Success outside the UFC rarely translates. But I think Overeem is so huge and nasty he has a good shot. It'll be exciting to see him in action with the big guys and see if he can beat them up as bad as he has everyone else.
