The Main Event: Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem (heavyweight)
Brock Lesnar has not fought since loosing the UFC heavyweight title to Cain Velasquez back at UFC 121 on October 23, 2010.
Lesnar came down with Mononucleosis which stemmed from a more serious disease called diverticulosis, an intestinal disorder that required surgery to repair his colon. (He had shit leaking out of his colon and into his stomach causing severe pain in his abdomen).
Lesnar is now healthy and ready to begin a run and win back the UFC heavyweight title, but first he has to face Alistair Overeem .
Coming into this fight Lesnar said he didn't even know who Overeem was, yet Overeem is the favourite to win the fight? Lesnar at the press conferenve said, "I am the underdog with a big fucking bite".
To note, this is Overeem's first UFC fight, but he is a mixed martial arts veteran. Having fought in 69 fights in his illustrious career.
Overeem is the only fighter to hold multiple championship belts. Having won the K1 heavyweight, the Strikeforce heavyweight and recently being crowned the Dream champion.
Overreem is a striker, he throws devastating knee's and has won many of his fights in the first round by KO.
But I have Lesnar winning this one by tko with some serious ground and pound.
In the other main event, we have: Nate Diaz vs Donald Cerrone (Welterweight)
This fight is gaining a lot of hype because of an altercation that took place between the two fighters a few months ago. It was reported that at a UFC fight Cerrone went up to Diaz to introduce himself and Diaz (in other words) told him to go take a long walk off a short bridge.
Fast forward to today, there is no love loss. At the the press conference both fighters squared off for some pictures and Diaz knocked off Cerrone's cowboy hat and gave him a good shove. Cerrone looked pissed.
This fight is going to be a war. Both fighters like to fight from their feet.
I have Diaz winning this by submission (arm-bar)
This will feature two scrappers who can wrestle and use their fists. Should be an exciting tilt.
I have Fitch winning this one by KO
