He's just repeating everything he's already said. Winners should get title shots, no matter how dreadfully boring.

Hint: It's a PPV business.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

This fight is scheduled for five rounds, and I have trained for five, but I personally think I will win in the first round. I will knock Brock Lesnar out. Second round at the latest. I never underestimate anyone, and Mr Lesnar is a former UFC world champion, but this is it, the chance to send a message to my fans, my critics and to UFC fans who maybe haven’t seen too much of me yet. All the talk, all the would-be distractions, all the training and the hours in the gym and on the mat – it all comes down to Friday night.

He wants it, I want it. One shall stand, one shall fall.

YOU GOT THE TOUCH!
YOU GOT THE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
YEAH!

AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE
YOU NEVER WALKED YOU NEVER RUN
YOU'RE A WINNER

Overeem will light our darkest hour

Edit: To be real I have visions of Brock coming out of the gates hard at Reem as soon as the bell rings, and one of two things will happen...
Reem will catch him with a knee or a punch to the jaw and put him down quick or he will have Reem on the ground right away and it will go bad for Reem.
For Brock to win he has to be aggressive.

 

[DKehoe]

Brock should use Greco, not freestyle. Don't risk catching the knee diving for a double leg. Close the distance and drag him down.

I think it's a disgrace the fight is even happening. Overeem submits his drug test sample weeks late yet is still given a licence. The commission is a joke!!!

So tell us how you really feel

 

[alr1ght]

Just think we would have a Jon Fitch main event if he got denied (it wasn't "weeks"). Although seeing Mir get his face donkeypunched in again wouldn't be so bad. Also, fuck this 10PM start time. The reason PPV buys are down is because you have a fucking event every two weeks.

 

[ghostmind]

Hoping that UFC will release some more free views for the XBL app soon - missed the first chance.

Yes, I rather enjoyed not falling asleep right before the main event and waking up 30 minutes later to see a guy with his hand raised. I hate the 10PM start.

It's a joke that anyone has to take a test. Steroids being illegal is bullshit.

It's a joke that 2 roid heads (that will happen to be 'clean' at the time of the fight) are fighting one another?

Brock is not one of my favorite fighters.



Edit: and my favorite fighter is Shogun.

 

[alr1ght]

Heavyweight bout: Brock Lesnar (+120) vs. Alistair Overeem (-150) (TKO)
Lightweight bout: Nate Diaz (+215) vs. Donald Cerrone (-275) (Sub)
Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch (-240) vs. Johny Hendricks (+190) (LNP)
Light Heavyweight bout: Vladimir Matyushenko (+265) vs. Alexander Gustafsson (-325) (TKO)
Featherweight bout: Nam Phan (-245) vs. Jimy Hettes (+195) (Dec)

 

[yacobod]

i do wish they would just let the guys juice w/out having to worry about cycling and other non-sense so they can piss clean before the fight. roided up shogun in 2005 was a force of nature and it great shape. 2011 shogun is a fat guy w/no gas tank, who could probably cut down to fight at 185 easily if he would train professionally.

Steroids are like wallhacks, fuck em.

The joke is the commissions complete disregard for drug testing.

Incidents like this just show why Floyd mayweather is right to demand any opponent of his has to sign up to olympic style random drug tests. The commissions can't be trusted and they just care about there cut of the fight revenue.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I'll point out the only time sports are truly amazing is during times of high steroid use.

Pride
80's College Football
MLB before it got neutered.
Early 90's football
70's and 80's boxing

 

[Balehead]

Commission hardly makes them illegal since the athletes can take tests basically when ever they want. Overeem getting his done weeks after notice because of one flight? Dude makes millions but can't miss one flight to piss in a cup? Then he has his own people take what ever samples, cause they just don't know better "because of Holland". Not saying he's using anything, just saying these are supposed to be professionals in the biggest league and apparently nobody is telling them about the rules?

Shogun has always been soft in appearance. Coleman was clowning about his lack of physical strength before their 2nd fight.

i disagree. the players are always 2 steps ahead of the commissions when it comes to drug testing. the current MLB MVP got busted for PED/steroid use. Especially since most sports don't even test for HGH, i think PED use is at an all time high. Look how much bigger athletes are today then even in the 90s. 300 was considered huge in the nfl in the 80s. every college offensive lineman is in the 300s now. its crazy.

guys are way more yoked out then they've ever been. the only thing i'll give you is Pride. that was the wild wild west right there.

he was a body builder in comparison to how doughy in appearance he is now. the only guy who's let himself go even more recently is Fedor. good god man what happened before that monson fight. he had a full donut in his belly.

3 knee surgeries and being surrounded by yes men probably contribute to his appearance. The one thing I notice about the ex-Pride guys is that all of them seem lazy as shit.

Remember Miami before they were busted? The reason people are bigger now is because PED's are more advanced.

Yep. Steroid testing is basically a formality to high level athletes these days. If you have the money and stay on top of things you aren't getting caught. It's a cat and mouse game that steroid users are winning handily at this point.

I think you're more likely to get BALCO'd like Carwin than actually fail a test.

 

[Balehead]

He didn't know about the piss test before his flight.

And he apparently didn't after the flight either.

 

[TheKaeptain]

He submitted a blood test.

I've never seen UFC really. Like I've seen random matches but I don't understand the history. Is there any way I can quickly get into feuds or someone can recommend some of these fighters' best fights?

FuelTV (618 on DTV) is having a marathon of old events on Jan 1. Really, just watch UFC Unleashed which is shown all the time on Spike/Fuel.
