"The Reem" was recently knocked out by "Big" Ben Rothwell, but despite his utter failure in the UFC, Dana White has said that the former Strikeforce champion will get another fight. Well, if you want to put him out to pasture, pair him up with Roy "Big Country" Nelson. Simply put, Overeem is a sitting duck for Nelson's right hand, and his jaw will likely shatter should it connect. He does have the skills to nullify Nelson's attack, but he tends to get sloppy, and Nelson just needs one mistake to capitalize. Big Country has sent Cro Cop and Cheick Kongo packing from the UFC, and gave Big Nog the worst knockout of his career. Overeem could easily wind up on that list. Nelson meets Mark Hunt later this month; win or lose this would be an interesting fight.
