Prediction: correct Overeem   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

let me set this up for all of you...my top 4 favorites are Penn, Shogun, Reem and Belfort this year started with 3 of them lose in succession in disappointing fashion, the end of this year has seen 2 of them in brutal all out spirited battles..this trend will stop when the Reem gets the KO in the first round..I mean it has too for the sake of my sanity

overeem has no chance he lacks cardio and hes a choker when it comes to big fights examples,little nog [twice],sergei,liddel,arona,rua [twice]. Reem has never fought a wrestler with the size and prestige of lesnar.

@mmatip and Brock Lesnar has never fought anyone that was a world champion kick boxer.

This could go both ways.

Kickboxing, by itself, is a lot less useful than wrestling.

Undecided on this one right now.  If Overeem connects, Lesnar will probably go fetal like he did against Cain, giving up an easy TKO.  If Lesnar can get Overeem down, he can probably keep him there and make him his Mir.  Lesnar will probably go in there in much better shape, even with the layoff and surgery.  Overeem has pretty mediocre conditioning.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Overeem's winning.

Lesnar vs Carwin and Lesnar vs Cain had Lesnar being dominated by good strikers. Overeem's a great striker. You do the math.

Carwin and Velasquez are also excellent wrestlers.  You forgot to add that to your equation.  Or, in the case of Overeem, subtract it.

@anik good striker's with good and great wrestling experience.......cain being the latter..........Overeem is a great striker with not alot of wrestling experience so i think its a pretty even match if brock fights smart

@jody beat me to it! haha

I went back and forth on this for a long time, but in the end I had to go with Overeem for all the reasons that have already been given.  He's more experienced and has more ways to win.  He just has to stop the strongest takedown in the sport and not get hammerfisted to death.  Crap, now I'm wavering again...

ROFL overeem is a top level kickboxer but looks like hes about to cry every time he gets hit in the face, same with brock.  Except how much kickboxing is overeem going to be doing?
