Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar welcomes former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem to the UFC in a five-round main event match-up, booked for the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC 141: "Lesnar vs. Overeem" broadcasts live via pay-per-view on Friday night heading into the New Year's Eve weekend as we ring in 2012.
And in his recent interview with Paul Heyman (transcribed by Cageside Seats), Lesnar vows to reclaim the division strap and prove he is, and will always be, "the baddest dude on the planet."
"I don't have a lot to say to Alistair Overeem. Here's a guy that is getting his chance to make his name in the UFC and unfortunately for him there's a gatekeeper that stands in his way and that's Brock Lesnar. And I will prove on that night that I am, once again, and will always be, the baddest dude on the planet. I will be, once again, UFC heavyweight champion of the world."
Hear more on his UFC 141 main event, as well as his role in the upcoming WWE '12 video game, after the jump.
The surgically repaired Lesnar (5-2) is coming off a first round shellacking at the hands of new division champion Cain Velasquez, who survived a pasty-faced bumrush at UFC 121 in October 2010 to topple the former WWE star and capture the crown.
It was Brock's first loss inside the Octagon since serving up a ham-hock to Frank Mir in his Octagon debut at UFC 81 way back in February 2008.
He was expected to get back on his horse against Junior dos Santos at UFC 131 earlier this year, but was forced to bow out of the Canadian contest to deal with another flare-up of diverticulitis.
Now Lesnar is all patched up and ready to jump right back into "the mix."
That's because Overeem (35-11) is considered one of the premiere strikers in all of mixed martial arts, despite a less than impressive effort against wily grappler Fabricio Werdum just a few months back.
Aside from the shortcomings in his winning performance against "Vai Cavalo," the Dutch destroyer is a consensus top ten ranked fighter who could pose problems for any UFC heavyweight -- but first he has to prove it against one of the division's elite wrestlers.
Who ya' picking in this titanic tilt?

Agreed!
I wonder (I haven’t looked yet) how many tool bags are going to point out he called himself a gate keeper?

Even more
I wonder what the tool bag, anti-UFC, can’t let go of PRIDErs, will say when ANOTHER guy they think is “top 3” goes to the UFC and gets destroyed. Are we going to start saying Aoki would beat Edgar?

I lost a sig bet...
Wats your excuse for that abomination you have?
DONT BE SCARED GSP......DIAZ IS THE GOAT
Anyone who thinks Reem should be ranked a top 5 heavyweight has lost all credibility in my book.
Him even ranked top 10 in the division is pretty sickening. He has beat ONE top 5 guy ever in his career period! I am not saying he doesn’t have the talent to be a top guy someday but right now it is just FUCKING DUMB! Plain and simple, fucking dumb! Not only that but Werdum is the only top 10 guy he has ever beat in his career in my eyes. I don’t blindly follow US today for MMA rankings and Rogers was not a top 10 guy after getting decapitated by Fedor.

He's right here
Here’s a guy that is getting his chance to make his name in the UFC and unfortunately for him there’s a gatekeeper that stands in his way and that’s Brock Lesnar
Just a gatekeeper, he’ll never be champ again :)

we shall see
if JDS beats cain, i can definitely see brock beating JDS…i can see him beating cain in a rematch too, but hes gonna have to fight smarter

I don't see him keeping either Cain or JDS down
and he won’t be beating them in the stand up anytime soon either

He actually did very well striking intially with Cain and then getting the takedowns. Brock was over aggressive and paid for it.

Brock is going to get an early takedown and pound on Reem until he feels like stopping.
At least I am better than kevjack at making picks. I am satisfied with that.
PW - how do you feel about these details? Distraction from his MMA training or his return to the WWE once his UFC contract is over?
And in his recent interview with Paul Heyman (transcribed by Cageside Seats).

When was he doing this WWE stuff? He could have been doing the motion capture for the video game before he was even able to do any hard training for Reem. And Heyman is the Ed Soares of America, so anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.
At least I am better than kevjack at making picks. I am satisfied with that.
I think I agree
But of course that’s what I thought when he fought Cain and he couldn’t do shit for takedowns against him. Like not even close. Then when he couldn’t do it he seemed so confused like he had no idea what else to do. If Reem can stuff the takedowns Brock is screwed.
i think he has a great shot against cain. brock fought the worst possible fight he coulda fought that night.
If a calm and a not in a rush lesnar (couture fight) shows up to fight cain in the eventual rematch, then brock has a great shot at winning. if that panicked idiot who started the fight with a running flying knee, and wanted to finish the fight in 30seconds shows up, then cain gonna whoop his ass again. that first fights with cain and mir showed his inexperience. but when he is confident, and not in panick mode, he is one bad motherfucka!
not sure it will really matter though against the REEM. props to brock for taking that fight coming off a loss to cain and a surgery. it shows his heart is in this and that he believes in himself. i love this fight!
UFC is really delivering on the heavyweight front at the end of this year, cain vs. jds on fox, and then the reem vs. brock on ppv? thats two insane fights right there. incredible.I dont even know which is the bigger fight. this is ali vs. frazier type shit!
Cain would just pick him apart striking like he did last time I don't see that fight going any differently
even if Brock doesnt bulldoze in there

page: he rushed and panicked the entire fight. not just the beggining. he took cain down was on top of him and then...
he rushed, panick took over. he overzelously tried to advance position n cain capitalized on it
im telling you he fought the worst fight possible
there wasnt a guard to stay in
Cain got the butterflys in and pushed him off

nope.
cain is. brock was never dominant in the division, he’s had too few fights.

His title defenses say otherwise.
Once Cain defends a few times then he might get there.

youre arguing facts with conjecture
i think its safe to say youre in a fantasy world
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
what facts?
that Brock is only 4-2 in the UFC and Cain is what 7-0, that’s a little more dominant.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
jds and cain are the two most dominant hw's in forever.
their records show it.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
dominant as a champion?
cain with no defenses is a more dominant champion than brock was with 2, both being finishes?
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
yes.
look at it objectively and the winner of jds/cain is the most dominant hw champ ever, they both have the most dominant records against the rest of the division.
brock’s 4-2 record does unfortunately not reflect dominance and Randy has never dominated a division in the UFC, well maybe he did up until around 2001 or so.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
we can have this discussion
when you look up what the word dominant means…before then, you shouldnt use the word objective, because im not sure you know what that means either
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
umm yea.
it’s when you look at the statistics and what has happened, not giving your subjective opinion. in what world is a 4-2 record more dominant than a 7-0 record.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
Who those fights are against Roberto
If your 7-0 against non ranked opponents and a fighter is 2-2 all agaisnt ranked opponents is a mioe proven fighter.
As a perfect example record wise Fedor is better than Bigfoot but in reality this is not true as fact has shown with Bigfoot destroying fedor. Paper is not proof or fact on who would win but calibure is judged by rank not by numbers that can be inflated
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
were talking about dominant CHAMPIONS dumbass
brock is 3-1 in championship fights, cain is 1-0…cain has never defended, brock defended twice in impressive fashion…as of right now brock is a more dominant champion than cain…cains performance and brocks performance in non championship fights is irrelevant when talking about their championship reigns
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
yes
and sylvia defended with two boring decisions, brock defended with a first round destruction and a second round sub…no UFC heavyweight champion has defended his title more than twice per reign, so even though randy couture is probably the best UFC heavyweight champ of all time, you could make a case that brock had the most dominant singular reign as champ

Brock made a mistake and didn't respect the athletic ability of Cain as much as he should of
Most fighters Brock would be quick enough to go from front to side control before they were able to escape like Cain did.
Brock is more than able to hold Cain down if he used patience over aggression?
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Not in that example, PH. Cain showed excellent technique and balance. His over aggression was when he tried to strike with Cain.

100% in that example
that was a very reckless attempt at a pass by brock…he basically just tried to jump from butterfly guard to side control…he very clearly got over aggressive
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
Exactly magic
Brock has the ability to control even Cain on the ground but he has to gain control of Cain before he should of went for side mount. First off he needed to slow things down as not only was he careless passing guard he was also careless in striking before he it got to this point.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
and cain has the ability to knock him out.
he just has to hit him good. he just has to. Brock got outclassed in the 1st rd! pretty pathetic disussion, just cause he’s famous. might as well sit here and discuss how Chris Leben is going to beat Anderson Silva next time, but that wouldn’t be as popular.
btw, puck head. it’s should have* could have* would have*
don’t know why you write “of” all the time.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
Coming from a guy that only thinks quantity matters?
pointless insults proved nothing once again Roberto, imagine that LOl
You want to talk about pathetic and that Roberto logic “The guy that has twenty fights is better than the guy that has 10 fights” pretty much in a nut shell as far as your brain allows you to think. Instead of worrying about grammar please at least come to a debate with your own logic besides quantity = the winner.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
well, plz inform me when the world changes.
statistics and results dictate in whatever way you look at it.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
No they don't
Those that hide behind numbers without looking at the fact(opponents) were those numbers came from shows more of a of lack intelligence than anything.
By your logic Bigfoot should of never lost to Cromier, Carwin, randy, Mir and Herring should of never lost to Brock, Cain should of never beat NOG because the numbers were not behind him I can go on and on about this pathetic logic roberto.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
hehe. dude.
you obviously don’t know how this works and how reality works.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
I know your logic
By your logic Brock should not of won a match and NOG is better than Cain.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
there is no logic.
it’s called facts, that are printed down on paper to show what you have done.
you’re out in your spaceship somewhere with theories about things that hasn’t even happened.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
No it's not a fact if someone has more fights that means they are better
Most of us picked Cain over NOG even though the numbers on paper were against Cain, as the numbers were against Cormier agaisnt Bigfoot.
A record is not fact on who would win, in a sport like MMA it’s not the number of wins it more about who the wins are against that mean something as far as status goes.
So once again your opinion on fact is false.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
no, a record is a fact of what has happened, what you have done/accomplished, that's a record.
don’t know why you’re going on about the future, there is noway to know things that hasn’t occurred.
RobDeezy88 , ps3! Tito Ortiz = God !
Your status only moves up on the calibure of fighter you faced
as an example if you fight 50 fights and go undefeated against fighter ranked #30 to 50 a fighter that has only four fights and one loss to all top ten fighters the fighter with only 5 fights is proven better than the fighter that is 50 and 0.
It’s the calibure of fighters these records are against and Brock has faced more current top ten fighters than pretty much any other HW.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
I will take your opinions with a grain of salt considering how much you guys admire Brock. This reminds me of when GSP fans claim that he did not tap to strikes.

youve gotta be realistic bro
yes, i am a huge brock fan…i love his whole persona, am in awe of his athleticism at his size, and still believe he has the skills and talent to be dominant…however, that gif clearly shows that brock was too eager to pass into side control…in no way does it show an inability to keep cain down, brock is a better pure wrestler than cain velasquez is and the fight was already on the ground…after the takedown brock landed in cains butterfly guard, and instead of taking his time, composing himself, and working to pass the butterfly guard technically and efficiently, he jumps up onto his toes (thus removing all the pressure from his body weight he had on cains legs that was helping negate his butterfly guard) and essentially just tries to jump into side control…what brock showed in that gif, and in that fight, was not an inability to control cain on the ground but a lack of focus and piss poor technique
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
I'm a GSP and he tapped to strikes...no doubt about it
Now to go with magic here as I have been trying to point out we also have to credit Cain with his technique in defending. Right off the back he makes sure he is pushing Brock down to front control keeping his leg on the inside as Brock lifts up to jump into side control Cain usues his legs that have inside position to push Brocks right leg back when Brock try’s to pass creating more space and time for him to explode up.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
You're right you never said panic......you said panick
Learn JiuJitsu.
Don't believe the hyperbole, it's like a murder spree, get sniped verbally.
Brett Ratner sucks.
I dont call that panic I call that the inability to control cain on the ground
If you watch the fight leading up to this moment rampageland you would of known Brock was pretty aggressive and wild. Instead of taking his time and making sure he had control of Cain’s hips he remained aggressive and allowed Cain to get up pretty easily…..nowyou have to give Cain some creit as well as he had the ability to reconize his opportunity but Brock was to aggressive even on his attempt to gain side control before having control. Plain and simple Brock was too jacked and made a mistake.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
It would only delay the inevitable
Brock doesn’t have the cardio to defeat Cain. Cain is too well rounded and Brock will never be able to finish him in the first round. Cain sets a pace that only he can withstand which is why he will be tough to beat. Can Brock beat Cain? Yes. But Cain wins 9 out of 10 times.
by p rock on Nov 8, 2011 4:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Cain will be a tough mother fucker to beat no doubt, I'm not argueing that
But I do think besides JDS Brock has the best chance even if 9/10 is the odds.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
I actually also
Give a slight chance to Mir for some reason. But IMO JDS n Cain are the creme of the crop.
by p rock on Nov 8, 2011 4:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
For sure he has a chance
But liek you were pointing out I think as the fight goes on Cain will become more and more dominant against anyone including JDS.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
A perfect fight that shows Cain is human is Kongo
Cain has improved much since that fight but if you can finish a fight at anytime there is a chance you can beat Cain.

settle down dick!
ali frazier = biggest hw fights of a generation
jds vs. cain biggest hw fight in a generation in terms of quality
reem vs. brock biggest hw fight of a generation in terms of dollars and publicity!
I came at all this pretty calmly but you pulled out the dick
So for you to not realize how much bigger and socially important Ali vs Frazier was compared to anything the UFC has done shows that you are the uninformed , historically incompetent dick . This is a huge fight coming up none the less but it’s implications are for a young sport that is hardly accepted as a true sport yet .
All I asked was to look at what you wrote and think about it , so what I’m guessing is you thought about what u said , became embarrassed and then thought ‘oh I’ll call this guy a dick’ ’that’ll show him I mean business when I say stupid shit’ .
Thank you for your time.

We do know 3 things:
Brock is very hard to actually KO
Reem has a poor record of KOing Fresh fighters
Both fighters struggle against opponents they can’t fully control
My money is on a repeat of Cain-Kongo. Reem gets the big hits, can’t stop the panic takedown and Brock rides to a UD win or late TKO.
Sorry Reem… No more stacks of cans for you. Although Brock is coming off a loss, so it fits his pattern. But if Werdum could outstrike Reem…
Brock’s loss to Cain is more impressive than 95% of Reem’s HW career. He’s been in exactly 2 high level fights. Werdum out struck him and CroCop’s cup went to a NC.. this doesn’t bode well for the “lineal HW champ”

Sorry ..back when few fighter trained(like they do now) K1 might of ment something
I don’t care what Reem has done in K1, it means little in MMA. He has yet to stand with a MMA HW since being KO by Sergie. K1 is a different sport that is very limited in competition.

He never stood with Rogers and showed his skills, the brief time he stood with Buentello Paul got the better of him so he took it to the floor. A K1 striker scared to stand with a MMA fighter?? With Brock of coarse he’ll want to stand but Dufee and many of those guys you listed are not mentioned as top HW’s today and Werdum did very himself in the stand up(awful gameplan on Werdums part) but all in all Reem has don nothing to prove he is a current top HW.

sig bet with The Pride, on rua/hendo, 2 weeks and snowman/can crusher
Brock brings out the best in fans LOL
Can’t wait some great HW tilts in the near future starting with Cain and JDS this weekend to Mir vs NOG 2, Brock vs Reem and ending with BArnett vs Cormier!!

Brock is still a very one-dimensional fighter and he really hates getting punched in the face.
If he fails to overpower his opponent, chances are he’ll get smashed and most likely tap out to strikes.
Well I haven't heard this one before wuppy, sounds like you know your stuff
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Brock's last hyping
His last hype. He has nothing to lose that he hasn’t lost already in the Cain fight and in the Carwin fight. Yes, he beat Carwin, but everyone knows it’s only because Shane’s body seized up on him. He has already been exposed. So, this is his last hype in the UFC. He figures, worst case, he hypes up the fight and goes out in a ball of flame… best case he actually wins and looks like he knew what he was doing all along. Most likely the former….
Carwin, but everyone knows it’s only because Shane’s body seized up on him
This is not true, it was always a matter if Brock could get it to the ground, were a fully charged Carwin struggled but succeeded keeping Brock from taking him down. If Carwin doesn’t go hog wild with the strikes there is no guarantee he would of stopped Brock from taking him down as that alone is draining and combined with the strikes is why Carwin fatigued. Stuffing a takedown is more draining than throwing 50 strikes.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
see below for a reply to you, good sir
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
Did you even watch the Carwin/Brock fight?
His body obviously seized up on him. He was powerless to do anything. Afterwards, the doctors all said his body seized up. What more do you need?
Yeah...all these losers who got exposed need to just quit
GSP…BJ..Fedor..Silva…Machida..Rua…AA…Big Nog…Mir…Reem…Carwin.. Barnett…Rampage…Griffin…Evans….
MMA is better without those chumps.

Yeah I know magic
Most just don’t understand how fatigue grappling can be, adding to the fact of throwing 50+ strikes any HW in the world would of been drained. Hell Reem throws ten strikes and you can see his fatigue set in.
