Im excited as HELL!!!

Dude we might get Overeem, Fedor, Mousasi, Jacare, etc.. in the UFC.

CRAZINESS

I highly doubt we will see Fedor fight in the UFC. He has a contract with M1 and Showtime. Dana said Strikeforce will still operate on their own. Once the Showtime contract runs out though we could see some cross promotion. Hopefully this turns out good for MMA as a whole.

Im more excited about Overeem and Mousasi than anybody...esp Overeem I cant wait to see him fight at top heavy weight. I heard Bigfoot has already called out Lesnar, he must be trying to get into the UFC quick

itll be a while they say, they are gonna let the contracts run their course and keep SF on Showtime and such for now, but if Overeem continues his streak for another year, him v. Cain (if Cain beats JDS/Lesnar again) would maybe be the biggest HW fight ever.

but Jon Jones could quickly become the main attraction for DW and Co.

If Overeem wins this Grand Prix Ill be a whole lot more excited about him, hes one of my favorite fighters but he hasnt really fought the biggest challenges here lately.

**imported_blue52** · March 20th, 2011, 09:50 PM

And yeah, JJ will be a huge draw...hes excitiing like Silva but he speaks english

Im a big Reem fan as well, him holding TWO titles in diff. combat sports at the same time is INCREDIBLE, but yeah we need to see him take on a legit HW contender. The fight with Werdum should show us where Overeem stands now

**imported_blue52** · March 20th, 2011, 09:58 PM

Im excited about the Werdum fight he is really good on the ground and we all know Overeem wont have a problem in stand up with him winning K1

Werdum holds a submission win over Reem but that was before the Ubereem, back in PRIDE.

I hated that they moved the HWGP fights, it was ridiculous. Not to mention how IDIOTIC it was to match up Reem/Werdum in the OPENING round ffs.
