Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem Dec 30th

Great fight.

Props to Brock for continuing to fight high level guys, even when many, inclucing myself would accepted an easier go.

And some props need to be thrown Reems way as well. He has lived for awhile with conception that he is not fighting the best in the world, even as recently as the GP exile, there has been talk that Reem's main interest is not fighting top of the line guys.

Im also of the opinion this does not go the distance.

If reem doesn't catch him early, Brock mauls Reem.

Reem win sets up superfight with UFC champ.

Are you still able to fight for K-1?
No, I will only be fighting in the UFC.

Was Brock the only fight offered to you for your debut?
I got offered to fight for the championship belt but that would mean I had to wait, because of course dos Santos is fighting Velasquez Nov. 12, it's going to be a great fight, then probably these guys are going to need some healing time, relaxing time, so November plus six months, that will probably be May. I'm a fighter, I like to be active, so then some names came rolling out and Brock Lesnar was among them and I think it's a dream match-up. The fans wants to see it; I want to see it. I'm very excited about this fight, so I immediately said yes.

Does that mean that the winner of this fight will fight for the title?
Yeah.

How does it feel to finally sign with the UFC after all these years?
Honestly, it feels like one of the biggest days in my life, a sort of life-changing thing. UFC is really big, they just did the FOX deal, you have all these possible match-ups happening right now, so for me, it's a very exciting time, the team is very excited, UFC people are very excited.

turns out they offered him an immediate tittle shot but he didnt want to wait up... props for taking on Brock

by the way, i got the reem but the most likely scenario is one of them pulls out of the fight via injury before Dec.

They might break the cage?

Dumb! Lesnar needs a tune up!

Agree. When Overeem beats Brock people will say but Brock was sick, injured and hasn't fought for over a year. He is also past it and should retire.

Title fight, Brock and Mir were always possiblities, Reem to the UFC after being pulled from the Prix was an inevitability....



Looking at it you could say maybe Dana see's this as a good way to introduce Reem to the masses... Get him in there with the biggest star in the business and if he KOs him or simply wins his name and popularity grow, and we have a big new contender. Or you could say maybe Dana just thinks Brock can/will def win this fight after watching Reem/Werdum and stay in the Title hunt....Or they could just see it as a great matchup in the Title picture which any of us would want to put together if we were in their shoes....



On the fight, I know it's easy to be like "Reem will destroy Brock". Reem is one of the best HW strikers in the World and Brock reacts poorly to getting hit.... But I think it's a closer match then some might think, although I do favor Reem slightly at the moment. Brock will have months to prepare and is still a lot for any HW to handle. Reem has never seen a wrestler like Brock, and shrugging off Werdum shots is nothing like stopping multiple Brock takedown attempts. I'd actually say Brock should try and wear on Reem against the fence and drain him a bit in the early rds, no flying knee type shit. And even though Brock's striking is limited, Reem has never shown great defense in MMA (see Werdum) and all it takes is one Brock anvil to get through for it to be lights out. That said Reem could easily pick him apart standing or just land a huge uberknee on a Brock shot attempt.

Either way amazing fight, fan of both these guys.


As much as I want Reem to do well in the UFC, part of me wants to see Brock have another comeback style performance and win.


Oh yeah, give Brocky some props for his SOS.

Both men are showing balls for accepting this fight. Brock because of his injury and layoff and Alistair because he could've done a Rashad and waited for his title shot.

Yeesh talk about been thrown into the lions den, poor Brock's going to be busting out his break dancing moves once again,

night night mr. I dont like to get hit

Brock is gonna walk into a fist, maybe even get tossed if he rushes too wild, but eventually he succumbs to strikes.

Overeem will be the first Brit to win a UFC title !

He's Dutch.

He's from Holland.

He's English, it is known.

he was born in England, but mostly considers himself Dutch... doesn't he have some Dutch Royal blood in him?


why does this matter anyways? So Ali can go wack off in the baffroom?>

Ubereem is British, we claim him !

His nationality is Dutch and it is a fact.

Brock needs a tune-up but thats not in Brocks make-up. He wants to fight tough fights against the best in the world and deserves a ton of props for fighting and eventually finishing Overeem!
