Brock has a good enough chin to take a punch or two and then immediately get Overeem on the ground and beat the **** out of him.

@severus will it still be a joke if he puts lesnar down? What if he then goes on to put jds away? I know its a bunch of what ifs but still it very easily COULD happen.

now The Reem is a UFC fighter, so he will be fighting the real deal. We will see soon enough what he's made of boys. Personally, i don't know what to expect.

mir said it best. lesnar is a one trick pony. if he does not take reem down with the first takedown its over for him. i actually think overeem could just toss aside the almost 15 month layoff brock lesanr to the side and kick and punch him into a tko.

Until Brock can show me he can deal with a punch, I'll be picking any striker against him.

@live see I kind of feel the same way. A JDS/Reem fight with Reem coming off a KO over Lesnar would be HUUUUGE and a fight I would love to see. With that being said I like Lesnar a lot more and think he is just better than Overeem, Lesnar 2nd rd TKO.

@kallibo, Brock survived the onslaught on Shane Carwin, who is a predominant striker.

I think I may end up going with Lesnar as much as I don't like him I think he may end up getting the takedowns fairly easily and he will wear Overeem out quickly if he does.

Prediction: correct Overeem   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

You can't come close to comparing the striking abilities of Overeem to Carwin boss man.  Brock survied Carwin's power shots, not Carwins striking.  That does NOT mean he knows how to take a punch.  Brock wasn't KO'd, so he has a good chin, but what I mean is that I want to see Brock get hit and not run, do cartwheels and/or turtle up.

Prediction: correct Overeem   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

@Kalibo that's exactly why I still have overeem as a round 1 TKO at this point because I think as soon as Brock get's hit I think he will turtle up again like he has done before, but the question is will Overeem land that shot before Brock gets the takedown and I really don't know.
