The UFC is in Europe again. This time in Rotterdam and a few home town MMA vets are fighting. Overeem and Struve will round out the main and co-main event.



Albert Tumenov vs. Gunnar Nelson

Tumenov is a very technical striker and has a good base. He is not easy to take down. Tumenov does not take any chances and is very conservative and accurate in his strikes. It might not be real entertaining for the average fan but he is a cold hearted technician. Gunnar Nelson has a rap sheet full of chokes and other submissions. You do not want to be on the gound with this guy. Will Nelson pull guard? Can he take Tumenov down or take his back from the clinch? I dont think so and I see Tumenov getting a three round decision victory. Both fighters have good fighter IQ and will not rush the fight.



Tumenov Win 1.50 and Over 1.5 Rounds 1.571

Antonio Silva vs. Stefan Struve

Bigfoot vs. Skyscraper these guys are BIG in every way. Both of these fighters have issues with getting knocked out. They are not known for having the best chins and have taken their shares of punishment over the years. I would give Silva an advantage in power and Struve and advantage in submissions, however he normaly has an edge on the ground with people shorter than him using his long legs and arms to get submissions that you normaly would not be able to. The sportsbooks think this will end early, but I think they will play it safe. I like the over one and a half rounds and since Silva is the underdog I like his ovehand or ground and pound to win here.



Antonio Silva Win 2.650 Over 1.5 Rounds 2.450

Andrei Arlovski vs. Alistair Overeem

Two MMA legends battle it out. Not only are they two former UFC champions but they are also from the same camp – Jackson Wink. Arlovski has been at that camp longer and has been training at the main Jackson camp while Overeem has been training at an affilate camp. Both have knock out power and have been knocked out several times. That being said they are vets coming from a very high figher IQ camp. I can see this going over 1.5 rounds and see that as the better bet as a winner. Overeem has a power and kicking advantage while Arlovski has an advantage in the chin department. I see this playing out more like Arlovski vs. Mir and Overeem vs. Dos Santos as both will have big respect for the other.
