People equate Overeems puinches+Lesnar not likking being punched in the face= Lesnar getting punched in the face. Lesnar is also a big dude so im expecting either guy to win.

Well Overeem hates getting hit as well. So I guess it comes down to the first guy to get hit hard loses.

Get off the hype train boys. Overeem has not faced a wrestler really since Chuck Liddell, and your putting up against one of the best if not the best wrestlers in the division?! This a terrible matchup for Overeem. Lesnar is gonna take him down and tire him out in the first and then found it out the second. If Overeem stuffs Lesnar's takedowns however then it's a completely different ballgame and Lesnar will be gone within 3 minutes.

Hope my boy Brock wins it'd be a sweet come back story if he did. Don't know who's going to get the victory but pretty confident it's not lasting much longer than JDS vs Cain.

I do think that Arlovshi could be good to come back in the UFC.

i think he has become very cautious which makes alot of since but i think if he really used his Sambo then i think he could be a top ten HW again.

hahaha Arlovski is the one that unequivocally doesn't belong back in the UFC. He just fought Travis Fulton for christ's sake. And didn't look good in doing it either.

Oh posted that in the wrong thread haha

@messiah i know what you are saying he hasn't looked good as of late but i just peronsally think that if he used his Sambo more in his MMA fights he could be better. All he really does is try to stand and box with guys and i think that has been his downfall.

Lesnar vs. JDS is also a great bout and it was supposed to happen this year...The heavyweight devision is very exciting right now and there is no dominant fighter like in other weight classes.

I think Reem and JDS is a much better fight.  Probably the two best strikers in the division.

lesnar is going to belong to a long line of fighters who have had surgeries and had long layoffs that will lose handily.

Lesnar has more to lose and more to prove than Overeem. Im giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

Don't see that, Lesnar has been UFC champ, he has nothing to prove. Overeem is the one who needs to prove himself in the UFC. If Lesnar loses all he loses is a shot at the title, if Overeem loses his legacy will be seriously damaged.

I agree with you @Yaspaa.. Overeem has everything to lose.  He is tauted as a top 3 HW (who has never faught in the UFC) and with all the speculation surrounding him... a loss would be devistating to him.

Simple. If Lesnar gets the TD, he will get subbed. If Lesnar decides to try and show his striking against Barry ... night night sir. This should be very similar to Cain/Brock.
