I am taking Overeem

I don't think Buentello will be able to handle Overeem's stand up

Buentello has great hands and power he would KO Overeem in the first.

Overeem is pretty much better than Paul in all aspects, for that first 3 minutes I think Buentello is gonna get T(KO)'d

Nope. Buentello has KO-power in his hands, Overeem has not. Overeem hasn't got a great chin, Buentello has.

I'll pick Buentello in this fight but I won't put down any money on it.

Buentello is past his prime, and Overeem is one of the up and comers in the HW division. I said Overeem by KO

This will be a good stand up battle.
Overeem has better all around stand up, but buentello has huge KO power.
I see it as a remake of Overeem vs. Sergei 2 or even 1 for that matter, Overeem will be winning the stand up battle, but will soon succumb to the hard punches and will go down.

You dont think Buentello's chin is a bit suspect?

I'm picking Buentello by KO/TKO in round 2.

Definately not. Arlovski hits hard.

Overeem will make the fight look like a joke for about 3 minutes, but if Buentello isn't out by then Overeem is due for a nap.

my thoughts exactly minus the 1st rd. i think overeem will pick him apart then late in the second Overeem will get him one good time and buentello will go in for the clinch takedown and get caught in the front choke.
