Happening this Saturday.

[h]

love the Reem. always will. but i cant help but hope good things happen to Walt Harris after what he went through.

[K1power]

I can't recall; what happened to Harris?

[h]

his stepdaughter was recently abducted and brutally murdered. this is his first fight back from that layoff...    

[K1power]

That's beyond horrible.

Yeah, it's hard to root against that.

[h]

yeah it was fucked up all around. followed that story pretty closely. the dude that did it is a disgusting asshole and was out of jail on bond... FOR ANOTHER KIDKNAPPING AND ATTEMPTED MURDER... i mean really? you need to chain those people up until the case is over. because all this dude did was go and do it again only being successful on the murder this time.

Can't help but feel awful for Harris.

Only saw bits and pieces of the fight, but he actually had Alistair in trouble early on. Overeem celebrates his 40th birthday with a win, but it must be a bittersweet feeling at least to some degree. He showed great sportsmanship after the fight, though.

As for other results, cool to see Chikadze adding another W to his record. I think that's 3 straight victories in the UFC for him.

Sadly I don't see Overeem winning his next fight. He got very lucky here. Harris was destroying him and was basically one punch from putting him away but he chose to throw that flying frontal kick who put him off balance resulting in him falling down. On the ground Overeem made Harris very tired. Harris had no gas left after that ground work which made the round 2 finish pretty easy for overeem. Happy for Reem but I hope he hangs them up, I really don't want to see him ending up like Goodridge.

very gutted for Harris and feel the same way as samurai1 put it. it hard to say he lucked out a win because all he did was take advantage of a mistake. but fuck it he got lucky. lol. kinda wish Harris didnt go as crazy as he did going for the finish as it also contributed to his gas tank failing. but with all the emotions running thru him from several directions how can you blame the dude.
