Brett Rogers, right now, would likely do ok against bottom tier HW fighters, but without some overhaul in his game, he'd fall victim to more refined guys. Anyone with good grappling and wrestling will likely work him over badly.
King Mo is a bit hard for me to say. He's got good wrestling, and has good power, but he has holes in his game that are waiting to be exploited. He'd probably do well enough in the UFC, but would run into some walls against upper level fighters. I think he'd be best suited to keep getting in some good fights for Strikeforce before coming into the octagon.
Alistair probably has the best chance for success in the UFC. His size, strength, and well rounded skills could help him break into the UFC title picture quickly.

I think Alistair could actually beat Lesnar, maybe i'm a little biased bnut I think he could submit him.

i don't see brett rogers being much of a threat, however i could see both king mo and the reem doing some damage.

the only person that would make it big of those (not saying the other couldnt make it) is Overeem.

I think King Mo's wrestling is ideal for the UFC rules personally and would do well. Similar to guys like Rashad & Bader.
Brett Rogers is just a heavy slugger & right now the UFC Heavyweight division is as strong as its possibly ever been. Would have some great brawls with guys loike Duffee, Barry, Kongo etc but couldn't see him getting beyond that as guys like JDS, Cain etc would own him.
Alistair though would be the one I'd get excited about. K1 Level striker, good size & strength plus solid MMA skills. I think he'd be a genuine test for anyone. My only concern would be the high level wrestlers at the top of the division might cause him problems but they'd be fights I'd want to see.

Overeem - Have a Good Career in UFC
Rogers - Pretty shitty he isnt that good and well rounded
King Mo - Hard to say he seems to be pretty bad standing up but his takedowns are good

overeem would be an instant champ. but yeah brett isn't as good as he used to be. there are better ppl in his class. You should probably know who they are first, before you comment. Are we pretending Brett Rogers was a large talent prior to beating Arlovski? So because he lost to 2 superior talents (including the best fighter on the planet) he suddenly loses points? He's an improving fighter that has taken on 2 great fighters recently and took losses to them. Overeem would NOT be an "instant champ" by any means. This is a guy Shogun (the LHW champ) has beaten twice, and Nog has beaten twice. I think he'd be in the upper tier of HW, but I don't see him coming in and dominating their top talent. King Mo is Rashad Evans lite. He's a blanket that never wants to improve position and is content with a decision. You don't see him trying to finish often (see: fight vs Mousasi) I think even a re-match with Mousasi, he'd get beat, let alone some of the upper talent of the LHW division. Shogun would absolutely murder him. |
