What dance moves will Brock breakout for this fight? He already did the Running Man against Carwin and the windmill against Cain, can't wait to see how deep his repertoire goes--he's like a white Usher.

Werdum vs Nelson is going to be fun.
I'm extremely grateful comments were disabled for that video.

Looking at the rumoured card for UFC on Fox 2, it's shaping up to be pretty damn stacked. I mean there's at least 3 fights on the card that could be main events on a PPV no one would buy.
Also lol, Australia doesn't even get a numbered event, UFC on FX.

I had a GF with a body like the bird on the left 18 years ago.......
I miss her......
Beautiful body but face not so much.
On an unrelated note (I don't post here much), I can't wait for UFC 141; it's going to be insane !!!!!!
I personally am wishing for an Overeem win but I completely agree with what has been said previously:
*This is (potentially) the biggest fight of Overeem's career and it will be interesting to see how he copes.
*Overeem has not been fighting stellar fighters of yet and his record would suggest that he sometimes struggles against good wrestlers or world class opponents in general.
My hope for the fight is:
(1) initial bout of striking
(2) Lesnar goes for the takedown, Overeem stuffs it (gaining confidence through it).
(3) Overeem continue to striking but being cautious as Lesnar continues to attempt a takedown.
(4) Final stages of the round, Lesnar gets his takedown but doesn't have enough time to work and only lands a few glancing blows.
(5) Rinse and repeat for 5 rounds.
I might however be completely wrong with either Overeem landing a killer blow and finishing Lesnar off, or Lesnar taking Overeem down early and finishing Overeem very quickly.

I could see all that happening........ except for 5.
I agree with everything except the length. Reem will gas long before the fifth.
Reem by decission
Who are we kidding, either fighter will gas if it goes past Round 3.
I could imagine a Round 5 like Hendo/Shogun with one fighter mounting the other like a helpless kitten while he slaps him with pillows for five minutes with what would have been knockout punches had it still been Round 1.

Im so mad I wont be around for the PPV. I can't wait to see yaco's response in the event Overeem wins.

Isn't it funny that we're talking about the elite of the UFC hw division in terms of wrestling vs striking and that both guys will likely gas halfway through the fight? I mean not funny.
i like it how 95% of the people in the thread cannot fathom a Lesnar victory over Overfraud. December 30th is going to be glorious when the 2 largest personalities in mma face off.
when's the last time Reem has been in a real fight in mma? 2005?
and another interesting subplot is what about his UFC debut jitters on the main event stage? the bright lights of the ufc main event has wilted several other veterans of the sport.

There has never been a fight with that much testosterone in the cage.
Good point! I'll just assume Reem's can crushing and Brock's ring rust cancels out!
Surely Strikefarce's HW tournament has prepared him enough! I mean, if we listen to Gil perhaps it is Brock that should step into the Hexagon to face Reem!

This has to be the most unpredictable match up in recent memory. But one thing for sure it will finish in the 1st round. I will be shocked if this goes all 5 rounds....but stranger things have happened.
Well, if it goes past round 3 I don't think either fighter will have enough energy to even walk to the center of the octagon...

I really think too many people are underselling Lesnar, I fee he is a really bad stylistic matchup for Overeem.
Personally I figure if Brock can survive the first 2 rounds he will win, it's those first two that will be the most difficult (and most exciting)

minutes bro, minutes. reem doesn't have the gas tank to go 1 hard round with brockzilla. he's going to be gassed out bad after being taken down and trying to get back up. people forget brock took down cain 2 or 3 times in their fight. so he's going to takedown ovreem whether people want him to or not. brock's taken down every opponent he's ever faced in the octagon. is reem's wrestling and cardio good enough to get up and down from takedowns? that's the real question.
and does he have the chin and heart to survive the donkey kong gnp with those canned hams lesnar calls fists.

I like Brock and Reem, but I am more of a Reem fan and can see this fight go either way. Will make you wonder if Brock will learn from his mistakes from his last 2 fights, but remember, the fights always start standing giving the clear advantage to Overeem.

I heard those two soldiers instantly fell asleep just from taking a picture with Clay Guida.
Also I would let Britney defecate on me.

??? Edgar made $102,000 including win bonus for beating Maynard. No win bonus contracts > win bonus. Tito, Chuck, GSP, Brock just get a lump sum as well.

I think the 'ouch' was that the gate didn't even cover Gil's disclosed paycheck.

since the fight was made I have predicted Overeem by TKO rnd 1. I am not changing on that!
anyone bothered about the Dream NYE event.
I am more interested in Sakuraba and Shibata teaming up for a pro-wrestling match rather then the MMA matches. Gonna be interesting to see how the HDNet guys call the puroesu matches. I hope they call it like they are watching a MMA fight and not just treat it as some funny spectacle.
I would be very surprised if we get it in the UK considering UFC on ESPN is streamed via GO Sky player on xbox live.
Be it Chandella or Brock Lesnar, yacobod is persistently rooting for the underdog if only to keep things interesting.
I think most of us are voting for Overeem because he's a much more interesting personality than Lesnar. That and Lesnar's improvisational Capoeira dancing versus Cain didn't exactly engender much confidence in the man.

It pains me to agree with yaco on a fight prediction, but I too think Brock will give Reem a lot of problems with the td. I'd think Reem would be the underdog here. I can't think of any previous fight that's comparable to the wrestling, athleticism, and size he's going to be facing here.
I also think that if he was cautious and boring against Werdum, he's probably going to be even more cautious with Brock. Preparing for carefully chosen jabs and no kicks or knees.
Basically I'm preparing for the worst possible outcome so that hopefully I will be surprised.

Well he has a lot of good points on Brock, Chandella not so much.
If you said interesting in terms of style of fighting or ways to win I would agree with you but on personality.. no..
Brock is one goofy mofo. His diatribe at the end of clobbering Mir with the flying spittle, Bud light escapade and other madness was quality television. Personally I think that shit is what finally turned the light-bulb on in Sonnen's head that "being a over the top crazy asshole that pisses off everyone is a great idea".
That is the problem IMO with MMA, there aren't enough characters that make the casuals want to watch. I'll watch even the most dark MMA matches because I'm a fan but I personally know a lot of casuals here at the office that love Lesnar, Ortiz, Sonnen simply because they're unique and interesting.
I'm kinda worried about that as well. If he was worried about Werdum taking him down, what's he gonna be against Brock! Hopefully he comes out hard, but it's probably best to keep expectations low.
I have Reem as the underdog.
Brock has better Wrestling and Cardio and thats a winning a combination in UFC™
Agreed
why you gotta bring my girl into this?

I also still contend that Chandella is probably way hotter in person. I think the angles of her jaw probably just don't work on camera.

Sweet! I'm gonna go watch League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to celebrate. And now they just need Bigfoot and that about does it for the HW talent transfer.
She is. She has the most unbelievable body I've seen on a girl in person. Its just that her face is very average compared to the insanely cute Arianny and Britney.

That's what it is, too. You have Chandella sitting next to two 11/10 ladies and it doesn't leave her in the best light. I'm sure she'd be smoking in person.
This is the statement of a man who has not seen the Chael Sonnen v. Paulo Filho where Filho didn't make weight.
