Yvel @ 258 lbs ...?

Miiiiiiighty · 04-25-2008, 05:20 AM

Did I read 258 in the front page ???

LOL Am I the only one surprised to hear Gilbert was so heavy ??? He used to be 225ish for most of his career ...
Could it be another translation between kg and lbs error or is he really that heavy ?

By the way Sergei Kharitonov is mentionned to replace Yvel , but isn't that supposed to be a K1 rules fight ..???

No, that would be the only MMA fight on the card. I hope they manage to find a good replacement, 'cause Alistair looks ready.

Miiiiiiighty · 04-25-2008, 06:45 AM

I hope they don't bring Sergei for the rubber match .

Anyway I'm curious to see Alistair's cardio . Because he always looks ready musclewise , especially when fighting at HW ...

Btw I wonder how much Alistair is weighing on these pics because he looks huge

It looks like Overeem put on tons of muscle. You can even see it on his face.

Will it help his cardio though?

I think his cardio for a heavyweight must be much better now. Because he had to cut so much weight in Light Heavey was the reason why his cardio was so bad.

damn i thought sergei was supposed to be fighting cro cop next in dream. those are sick pics of overeem tho, can't wait to see him in the ring again. he looked amazing against buentello

Hopefully the fight doesn't get scratched completely.

Well, that's just what happened. The promotor tried to get Crocop to fill in for Yvel. Money wasn't an issue, but Crocop wanted to be prepared for 100%. And that's just impossible when the fight is tomorrow. So no fight for Alistair (which really sucks).

Would have been an interesting but dangerous matchup for CroCop to come back on tracks because Alistair is better than Kongo if you ask me , especially at HW ...

Ya I'm not sure about that, Alistair would've been a dangerous MMA opponent but who has he beaten mainly through his standup skills in the past few years? In K-1 I think Mirko would've eventually finished him
