As the UFC 141 cage fighting event fast is fast approaching one can’t help but want to talk about the main event. Alistair Overeem vs. Brock Lesnar is sure to be a knock down drag out brawl. You have to give Overeem the nod when it comes to all aspects of the fight. Overeem is currently the Strike Force heavy weight champion. He has been in the cage with the whose who of heavy weights in the world carrying a record of 35 wins and 11 losses and has been fighting MMA since back in 1999. He has fought fighters like Brett Rogers, Fabricio Werdum, Mirko Cropcop, Mark Hunt, Paul Buentello, Shogun and the list goes on and on. In the news conference Overeem says his experience level will play a major factor and he will tare Brock apart piece by piece. While Brock Lesnar is relatively new to the sport having his first fight 8 years later. Brock carry’s a record of 5 wins and 2 losses. One loss coming via submission from Frank Mir (he later knocks Mir out in his career) and one loss via TKO via Cain Velasquez heavy hands. One can also argue that the ref could have stopped the beating he took in round one vs. Shane Carwin as he was blocking punches with his face. After Carwin punched himself out Brock didn’t have much trouble choking him out in round two with an arm triangle. I personally think Overeem will knock Lesnar out in the second round but you never know what can happen in MMA. After all who would have thought the Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos fight would end so early in the first round.
