[@garagegymbros2198]

I would have liked to hear Overeem about how it was possible that Sapp had won twice against Hoost, and then always lost to everyone else. He walked right through Hoost's lowkicks and punches.

[@jasnowidze8158]

At the beginning of his career, Sapp weighed 160 kg and was "supported" by drugs that improved his condition and raised his pain threshold. Normally, Hoost's kicks would have made him cry, but the appropriate painkillers did the trick. That's the only reason he won against Hoost. Shortly afterwards, Cro Cop broke his orbital bone and then painkillers no longer helped :) Sapp wasn't a real fighter. This is obvious. However, he had to face some of the best kickboxers and MMA fighters in history. But in the version from the beginning of his career, he could destroy the entire current UFC heavyweight division. Without any specific skills. Just brutal mass, strength and a bit of "assistance". Regards.

[@bolo5190]

The gap between Pereira's stand up game and for most of his opponents is very big except for Adesanya but he's the still the greater striker though than Adesanya even though it's not by much. The point I'm trying to make is that Alex's striking game is so good that he very rarely has to focus on trying to take his opponent down. The only time I saw Pereira trying to take down his opponent in the UFC was vs Adesanya and that was only one attempt.

[@AguyR1401]

@@VoiceofTruth-ne9dr Pereira is probably on something. Not the complete and unholy stack of the PrideFC vets, but probably something that is and has been kept under the radar from the the testing agencies. That's just how it goes. He fought abroad as a Kickboxer... not like 'roids are unheard of in that sport. He is also from Brazil where gear can be bought from over-the-counter because of legal loopholes. Not uncommon for youths to take the stuff growing up, either, over there. Now that USADA is out of the picture, it'll be easier for everybody to get their fill and I think we'll see bigger and crazier highlights from this new age of the UFC. Pereira and Overeem are similar in size, as far as stature is concerned. And Overeem's chin was always suspect. I'd have to give it to Alex, if the two fought during each others' primes.

[@rusty9514]

[@jameslkiii]

The Yakuza started running dice games and from there went into other illegal entertainment activities. Somehow they've parlayed that into running early pro wrestling and later things like K-1 and PRIDE. Look at the story of Rikidozan, he was Japan's Hulk Hogan and was taken out by them for crossing them.

Rampage and Overeem acting like Glory is some no name Chinese promotion is retarded...it 's headquarters are located in the UK and they have held fights all over the world, yet K-1 was based out of Japan, and was owned by the Yakuza, so let's not act like a vast majority of fights weren't rigged either. And then Overeem saying Alex won't do good in MMA because "he doesn't have a ground game" is the same thing everyone keeps saying about the dude, that just isn't true on multiple levels. There are fighter's with much worse grappling and ground games that have done great in the UFC. And if anyone thinks Alex hasn't been working on grappling or jiu-jitsu since he switched to MMA have to be either a complete hater or just delusional. Sure he will never been an elite grappler and submission artist, but as long as he can protect himself in grappling exchanges and on the ground, which he has already shown he is capable of doing, then he is perfectly fine.
