brock never really tried to take him down fwiw and brock had put everyone on their back even wrestler so i don't doubt he could have put overeem on his back
werdum is a little more of an absolute. he cannot beat overeem if overeem refuses to go to the ground because he is incapable of taking him down.
mir is bigger and stronger than werdum and i could see him having a better shot at taking overeem down but it's not like he's an elite wrestler and he's not going to be able to overpower overreem like he did nog.
the worst matchup for overeem is honestly brock but brock didn't seem like he even wanted to win.
