LoL best joke ever, Overeem is boring to watch and this fight is epic boring.

[@NicholasGuccione]

Werdum exhibited some of, if not THE most incredible BJJ skills I've ever seen. (lying on the floor, "waiting for the paycheck technique"). Outstanding skill.

[@TheKickboxingCommunity]

Pulling guard must work well in a street fight too

[@genhisonkipgen7282]

Laying on the back and waiting for your opponent to lay down. Crazy and bullshit technique. If Overrem had some nasty elbow, That Werdum would have died by round one. Come on this is not a Jiu-jitsu match. It was MMA!

[@thomasmacdonough288]

Overeem had excellent grappling overall, and it's often underrated. Although he will always be remembered for his kickboxing, he was a true all rounder.

Overeem had skill when he was younger. He got slower and stiffer when older

[@cldavis33]

One of those slams Overeem did was where he felt Verdums leg trapped behind Overeems knee. So he used the knee as a fulcrum and slammed Verdum hard. Verdum grabbed that knee and his leg was clearly hurt getting up. Brilliant technique and feel.

Werdum is lazy and likes to sleep while Overem is a worker who doesn't like to sleep 🤣🤣

[@ohtebowah]

Is it just me or did Werdum actually do loads of great stuff on the feet and land a ton? lol.

[@yusefvonshekelstein3185]

he did. he got several really good knees to the head of overeem and some good punches as well. I think Overeem went into counter fight mode to stop the takedowns, which allowed werdum to setup some good combos. Werdum's takedowns worried Overeem so much that it got into Overeem's head and reduced his ability to strike. That's my analysis anyway, because it makes no sense for Overeem, considering the caliber of striker he is, to have eaten the easy shots that Werdum sent his way.

[@ohtebowah]

@@yusefvonshekelstein3185 yea 100%. Overeem has always been a bit defensively porous anyway. Werdum is insanely hit and miss on the feet. Marches forward striking like a robot to get knocked out against Stipe but has also outstruck K1 legends like Overeem and even knocked out Hunto. Crazy career lol

[@budthechud9795]

Imagine going from your biggest win to being handled like a harmless kid in your next bout.

[@emissary_kyle]

The commentary was trashing Ubereems gas tank. As someone who grapples over 250lbs I'm impressed that he could stuff that many takedowns. Werdum looked washed after the 2nd.
