Next week will be the big heavyweight main event to end 2011 for UFC.
Lesnar returning from a second bout with a serious medical condition. He is also coming off of a loss to Cain. Lesnar is always a threat with his brute strength and agility. Ask Shane Carwin how strong Lesnar's grip is when he choked the life out of Carwin when he had Lesnar taken to the brink of defeat. Brock also is a brutal ground wrestler when he has control. Ask Mir, who got tasted his own blood on the ground. Lesnar's flaw is his striking. Can Lesnar survive the power of Overeem in time to take him down in hopes for a GNP victory?
Overeem is considered the best heavyweight from Strikeforce and now making to make his splash in the UFC. Overeem has some good stand up skills. He also is strong. There is a question of his conditioning and his ground game. Can he fight off his back if Lesnar takes him down?
My prediction is that Lesnar is able to get down Overeem and pulls out a choke on a tired Overeem ala Carwin.
Thoughts?
