P.J. is taking Cavalcante, Randleman, Jacare, Silva & Overeem.
I am a little skeptical on Silva & Overeem. I'm not worried about Arlovski's stand up or what little ground game he has but I don't know if Silva can go the distance. I think Big Foot submits the Pit Bull early or wins by UD if he can last that long.

I never really cared for Rogers nor do I think that beating Fedor's ass from time to time in their fight matters. But...I'm curious to see if Overeem's cardio gets the best of him. If Overeem wins this fight (which I think he will) I believe he needs to get it done in the 1st round or early in the 2nd. I'll be looking for a big punch or a possible flying knee. Take a look at the Overeem timeline below. He sure has changed over the years...
