The octagon favours wrestlers so great wrestling > great striking.. im tempted to pick Brock because of that.. however i cant picture Brock not going into the fetal position when Overeem touches him with his fists.
Brock's got this ..

Mulhall was too late, Brock was already dead and Overeem was blasting him more ...
oh and if you forgot, PPVs are returning to 10/9 PM EST time slot starting with this card.
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem
This is a fascinating fight that on paper could go either way. A lot of people seem to be doubting Brock for a variety of reasons.
His Health/The layoff
Questioning his desire
Saying he can't take a punch
I see a guy that was under-rated when he was actually the UFC HW champ. A guy that is dying to get back in the cage and rip someone a new asshole. Brock losing to Cain to me is a key here because he will come into this fight even more in pissed off than normal. I saw the countdown show and his pre-fight interviews he wants this WIN bad. I see Brock closing the distance and working Reem on the cage for the TD. Gassing Reem out with his top game and putting him away in round 2 VIA TKO. Reem can really only win by KO, a sub is possible but i think unlikely given Brock's immense strength and wrestling. Might wanna watch out for the guillotine choke though
WAR BROCK!!
Donald Cerrone vs. Nate Diaz
Cowboy gonna smash Nick Diaz's little brother. He is out of his league with Cowboy.. TKO Round 2 or 3..
Jon Fitch vs. Johny Hendricks
Long layoff for Fitch but he will do what he does. Wrestle and grind out another decision win. UD Fitch..
Alexander Gustafsson vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Alexander is one to watch for in 2012 at 205..
Jim Hettes vs. Nam Phan
Love Nam.. Hope he takes this..

Oh man, how sweet it's going to be to see Cowboy beat the living out of that little ing Mexi .
Diaz tried to punk him, but has no idea the level of fighter that will be across from him tomorrow. He should be grateful for fighting a contender, Diaz hasn't done but lost to 2x contender Maynard and beat up an old Irish man.
is nam phan the guy that won the ufc compe ion contract? he was on some blonde guys team vs french gsp team...is that compe ion over right?
Overeem will KO Brock. Lesnar has a glass chin.
Brock do not have a glass chin.
He just is not used to getting punched, and when he is unable to get his opponent down he does not know what to do. It's like his gameplan went off the window and now what? How to fight.
he needs to keep going and be more versatile as a fighter in a meaning that he needs to continue fighting
He is quicker the Ali, but if Overeem the best striker on the planet will knee him or punch standing up and avoid takedown, this is goodniteee for Brocky
why doesnt brock just lift him up with a F5
Well maybe because Ali will not help him with it?
Overeem has shown both a bad chin and lousy cardio before..
Nope, he didn't win the contract but he's been in some good fights since coming out of the show.

Pro's picks for the fight
War Brock!!!
Everybody loves a showdown between two explosive behemoths. The UFC 141 main event provides just such a matchup, as the 6-foot-3, 265 pound Brock Lesnar collides with the 6-foot-5, 256-pound Alistair Overeem in a heavyweight le eliminator on Friday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Which goliath will find a way to impose his will?
Sherdog.com caught up with a number of professional fighters and trainers to gauge their opinions on the UFC 141 “Lesnar vs. Overeem” headliner:
Travis Wiuff: I’m gonna take Brock by first-round head-and-arm choke.
Nam Phan: I say Brock by decision.
Kyle Kingsbury: I got Lesnar with the endurance edge, smashing The ’Reem in the second with some nasty ground-and-pound.
Travis Lutter: I think Lesnar wins this one. I think his wrestling will be the deciding factor.
Cub Swanson: I think Lesnar is definitely worried about getting hit. That’s what makes me think he’s gonna win. He will quickly get the fight to the ground and get to the ground-and-pound finish in the first round.
Marc DellaGrotte: Battle of the giants. This could be a body building contest at the weigh-ins. Will the curse of the Octagon debut be a factor? Can Overeem keep it standing? Can Brock get it to the ground? Seriously, these guys are huge. Either way, this fight probably won’t go the distance. Brock is and always will pose a serious threat to anyone in the division, and he is only getting better. I have followed Overeem for a long time thru muay Thai. He has serious KO power and can do it with any weapon. I’m a huge fan of both fighters and wish them a fun, exciting fight.
Yves Edwards: This fight is all about the takedown. If Brock can secure the takedown and control, he wins. Problem with that is he’s going to have to do that and get the sub or do that for five rounds. Alistair has to stop the takedown and look for the KO. We’ve seen Brock take a beating and come back from it; we’ve also seen him get beaten and break. I think Overeem can break him, but will he? My pick is Overeem.
Eddy Millis: Overeem wins this by brutal KO in less than 60 seconds.
John Hackleman: I think it’s going to be Lesnar [winning] just by pure athleticism. I think he’s going to rush in, get the takedown, get top position and win that way. I think if he’s dumb enough to stand and use some of his newfound standup skills, he will get KO’d, but I predict that he is going to rush in: a bum rush, football rush, whatever it takes to get Overeem down, to get top position and pound it out.
Gabe Ruediger: It’s all decided by wrestling. How good is Overeem’s defense? Lesnar has great credentials and if he puts Overeem on his back, it’s his fight, and I think he will. Lesnar wins by superior wrestling.
Mike Ciesnolevicz: This is a tough fight for me to pick. My first thought when the UFC announced the match was that Overeem is going to kill him because Lesnar is scared to get hit. I wasn’t thinking about the fact that Lesnar is nearly 300 pounds of muscle and athleticism with a strong wrestling background and top Brazilian jiu-jitsu game. This fight is such a toss up for me. If it’s the Lesnar that showed up against Frank Mir in their second fight, then Overeem is done for. If Mir was helpless on his back, then Overeem will get destroyed if he gets stuck underneath. The other side of the coin is that Lesnar still is not very comfortable when strikes are coming his way. He tends to shy away from strikes. Overeem is brutal with his punches and knees. When it comes down to it, I can see Brock bull rushing after a few punches come his way, with Overeem using his Thai clinch and knees to the body. Overeem wins by TKO in round one.
Joe Duarte: Lesnar is a freak athlete, but he doesn’t like getting hit. His size has carried him a long way, but his fight with Cain [Velasquez] exposed him. Overeem eats real horses, medium rare, which will give him the ability to TKO Brock in the second.
Benji Radach: I’m going to say Lesnar by smothering/suffocation/ground-and-pound, unless he wants to have a standup war with a K-1 champ (laughs). Not sure that’s the best idea.
Michael Guymon: We all know that Lesnar would be a human piñata if he were to try and stand with Overeem. There is no secret where Brock wants this fight to end up. This is simple to call. If it goes to the ground, Brock takes it. If this fight stays on the feet, Overeem takes it.
Keith Berry: Overeem by KO in the first round.
Pros Picking Lesnar: 8
Pros Picking Overeem: 5
No Pick: 2

continuing to show what a piece of ghetto trash he truly is. How some of you are actually a fan of his I'll never understand.
OverTool will catch with a vicious knee the first time tries to shoot. KO within 90 seconds.
I get to watch this card on PPV at my friend's bros house; last time I watched a PPV fight there it was Edgar/Maynard II, and we all know how that fight went.
