Overeem is always exciting, I would love to see a rematch with him and Chuck at heavyweight.

That would be a great pickup by the UFC. Now if only they didnt get rid of AA...and if they can actually sign Fedor....

HOLY SHIT!!!! The UFC brass would completely change my opinion of them if they made this happen, and then kept it up!

overeems having a breakthrough year this year and is really on a roll, I would LOVE to see him in the ufc, I dont think he has the wrestling to be a championship level fighter but his striking is excellent and he has solid jiu-jitsu, he'd pose a lot of problems for many of the top fighters.

Overeem vs lesnar would be a really fun fight for me! Im a lesnar fan but I think overeem would be too much for lesnar at this point despite the wrestling gap

Really?.........Really? That is a massive weight advantage that Overeem has no chance in hell of countering, and I'm an Overeem fan.

This would add a great dynamic to the UFC Hw division that it is sorely lacking-

Striking

So I'm all for it

Isn't Mirko still technically under contract with the UFC though ?

If so, i doubt he would be allowed to sign for another US based org.

No he was released from his contract with the UFC ala Big Tim. He's free to sign with any org and as of right now does not have a paper contract with any company.
