UFC 141: Brock Lesnar Vs Alistair Overeem
69On December 30th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, titans will clash. Two of the biggest and strongest heavyweights in the world will step into the octagon to see who will claim the chance to challenge for the title.
It's shaping up to be a exciting fight.
Brock Lesnar
Record: 5-2-0
Brock is a natural heavyweight. He actually has to cut weight to make 265, so with him you can expect some of the fast and furious action that is normally only seen at lighter weights. It's part of the fascination with seeing him fight.
Now he's facing a challenge like he never has before.
Alistair Overeem
Record: 35-11-0
Alistair has been fighting everywhere and crushing people with devastating thai boxing and lethal guillotines, but he has never stepped into the octagon. This will be first time fighting in UFC, and it will be interesting to see how he performs.
One thing is sure though. The match will be action packed.
Clash of Titans
This is a classic match up in mixed martial arts. Will Brock's wrestling overwhelm and demoralize Alistair, or will Alistair devastate Brock with lethal knees, elbows, and punches til he he just wants to quit?
No matters what happens, you can expect that there will be a furious pace. Each fighters know what they have to do win. The blueprint is written clearly.
It will be wrestling vs striking. Brock knows even before he steps in the ring that he can't expect to knock Alistair out on the feet. I mean it can happen since anything is possible in a fight, but it is not likely. So he will be aiming to put Alistair on his back.
Alistair on the other hand, no doubt saw Lesnar's fight with Cain Velasquez. In that fight, it was clear that Lesnar lost his heart as a result of the punishment he took. In fact, the same thing happened in his fight with Shane Carwin, until Shane gassed from hitting him.
So Alistair knows that he has to hurt Lesnar early before he gets too worn down from defending all the takedown attempts.

Yeah, that kind of athleticism at heavyweight is truly exceptional.
Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature, like one of the X-men or something lol...When he first started in the UFC, I didn't take him seriously, but the guy's a natural. And I'm sure he'll just keep improving.
HAHA i wouldnt even want to be his sparring buddy,let alone fight the beast
Yeah, it's one of the reasons that the match will be great. They are both beasts, but they have different styles and backgrounds.
This is definitely a fight I'm looking forward to seeing. I'm glad Lesnar is fit again too as he certainly hasn 't had much luck of late in terms of his health.
I heard that there was a moment when the fight was in doubt since there were some discrepancies in Overeem's pre-fight drug tests. The fight is still a go though so far.
Looking forward to Brock's return to WWE
It's going to be a lost for the UFC since he was such a big draw, but I think it's for the best.
