I wish I could make my pick when they got in the ring. If Reem looks like hes afraid of the TD I think he is going to get caught and lose the fight. If he gets in there and fights with no fear like he did against Rogers he will beat Lesnar easily. You can always tell when fighters are nervous and it usually cost them fight.

anyone else get the feeling Brock will be a LOT smaller??  the first time he was out he came back smaller and now it's a second time.  we might just see  a 240lbs brock.  and if we do i'm going with reem as his size is the one thing he had going for him.

@jaykool777 Very thorough if i do say so myself. 
I would like to see Ubereem take this one, however I can really see this going either way. I'd honestly have to wait till the weigh ins to make my decision as i'm not sure how Brock will do with such a long lay off. 
On a side note, does anyone know where ubereem is training for this fight as he is no longer with Golden Glory?

@askewlipped I saw the newest episode of The Reem and it said like he's looking for a gym in the U.S. to train at

In the latest Reem episode they show him touring around different gyms in the US...De Jong has said he's sort of in the middle of all the drama and seems to have left the door open to still train with Alistiar

Id have to say Cain is easily the best wrestler in the division. I think he proved that when he fought Lesnar. Lesnar is by far a better wrestler than Reem but I doubt he will get a chance to use it.  Lesnar shown he cant take a hit and Reem is one of the hardest hitting HW in mma

@mmatip, those were at LHW where he gassed every fight.

If Brock doesnt get the takedown quick then he might be doing cartwheels around the cage again

Either Lesnar does the same thing that he did to Heath Herring or Overeem does the same thing that he did to Werdum.

I'm counting on the Reem landing a Duffee-smasher.

I can also see him sinking in one of his wicked guillotines if Brock takes him down.

the same way he submitted Carwin perhaps? If Brock is able to manhandle Alistair like I predict, he has some very underrated top positional jiujitsu and wouldn't be shocked to see him choke Alistair out.

When Brock receives the telegram that a strike is coming, he just has to duck.

Prediction: wrong Lesnar   wrong Decision  

I like both fighters. In a different situation I would pick Lesnar, but coming off a second long layoff and a receiving the worst (and possible first and only) beating of his life I wonder if his heart and mind are in the right place. One also has to consider the possibility of his skills diminishing as a result of the layoff. It would not be wise to assume we are going to see the best Brock ever, I'm not saying Overeem is an exceptional fighter, I love watching him fight but he's not remarkable. I believe they are very similar in talent but Brock's status makes for a favorable scenario for Overeem.

14 month layoff never bodes well, especially for a 34 year old coming off surgeries.

Roy Nelson predicts that it will turn into Mir/Overeem and he was right when he predicted that Carwin would take his spot against JDS so we shall have to wait and see.

If Lesnar/Overeem doesn't happen..........Mir/Overeem would make sense, but you have Mir/Nog 2, so maybe we could see Carwin/Overeem or Roy Nelson/Overeem would be pretty good too.
