Brock Lesnar VS Alistair Overeem. Let me say that again. Brock Lesnar VS Alistair Overeem. That just doesn’t sound like it’s true, but guess what, it is. Come December 30th we will see these two monsters go against one another inside the octagon, for 5 rounds, each round being 5 minutes. There is absolutely no way this fight can go the distance.
This is a matchup of two gigantic trucks going against each other. Here’s what Alistair Overeem had to say:
“Brock is a big name, a dangerous guy, and this is a dream matchup,” Overeem told The Times on Tuesday, just after signing a standard UFC fight contract in the office of Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta. “Brock’s a big guy, an exciting wrestler with his takedowns.
“I want to see this fight myself. Overall, I’m a different fighter. A striker, athletic, big. These are going to be two big trucks going at it on a collision course.”
Whoever wins the fight will face the winner of Cain Valasquez VS Junior Dos Santos for the heavyweight UFC Championship belt.
Dana White had this to say: “This is the fight the fans want, both of these guys are monsters. Can Lesnar take Overeem down?”
Fertitta said that the Strikeforce belt will not be involved, and his explanation was this:
“Our thinking when we bought Strikeforce was to give fans the fights they want,” Fertitta said. “Obviously, Alistair’s one of the best heavyweights in the world, but he also has that ‘it’ factor — the tremendous look, he’s huge. It’s a star factor.”
