Anyone watch ariel hawanis podcast the mma hour? I listened to the hendricks interview
Found some of it interesting, if you can get past the fact that "you know what i mean" is the only phrase in his vocabulary, his talk of cutting weight and what not for the lawler 2.0 was interesting

So for the last year or so now I've become pretty dubious of Overeem's autos, especially given I've received none of the pending redemptions with Topps.
I even posted about it in another thread
Now this has just surfaced on eBay
From the 2008 K-1 Dynamite set. These were #/18.
They pre-date anything Leaf produced by at least two years. I'd like to say I have some faith in Leaf's autos, but then you see things like this...
and compare those two, with the Leaf Legends of Sport card quoted above, and you have 3 autos with obvious variations. The Legends of Sport auto looks very carefully done, mimicking the symbol for anarchy. These two both feature the quickly done 'AO' side by side, but then one of them looks like someone has added 'vereem' to it.
Whatever the explanation, out of all these variations the one that sticks out as the least likely are the ones coming out of Topps.

As an Alistair Overeem collector, I can relate
All his early stuff looks like this
His UFC-era Topps stuff is like this
and lately his IP stuff has looked like this

Wouldn't Reem be able to cause topps some serious trouble if they were forging his signature?So for the last year or so now I've become pretty dubious of Overeem's autos, especially given I've received none of the pending redemptions with Topps.

Everyone knows Connor talks the talk to pay the bills. It's been a proven technique in combat sports since the days of Ali. The good thing for him so far is he's backed it up. I think people expected him to walk through Siver, which he did, but I don't think people appreciate how dangerous Siver is. Anyway, it was a great performance and I'm excited to see how he goes with Aldo.
This year has started out great for fight cards so far, and we've got Johnson v Gustafsson next week, Silva v Diaz the week after that and Rousey v Zigano a few weeks after that!

I completely forgot about the Wiedman v Belfort fight. That goes to show how good the cards are at the moment.
I think Zigano is amazing and has the really grit/killer instinct that is could take to challenge Rousey. I still don't think it will happen, but I am interested to see to badass chicks throwdown.
