Brock Lesnar comes into this fight together with an overall record connected with (5-2) with two is victorious via submission and not one but two wins via TKO/KO. Lesnar was last welcomed in action over in 2009 as he lost his UFC heavyweight title to the now former champion Cain Velasquez backside at UFC 121. Lesnar has since been outside of action as he have surgery in May soon after another episode of Diverticulitis. Lesnar is among the most athletic heavyweights on this planet, a former national champion amatuer wrestler, and is trained in submissions and positions on the ground. The knock on Lesnar is the fact he isn't comfortable picking a punch to the confront, but he has found that it takes a great deal to put him out.
Alistair Overeem comes in to this fight with the overall record of (35-11, 1NC) with 19 wins via submitting and 14 via TKO/KO. Overeem was last observed in action during the quarterfinals from the Strikeforce heavyweight tournament where he won a unanimous determination against Fabricio Werdum. Overeem hasn't lost considering that getting knocked out by Sergei Kharitonov in 2007, and hasn't gone past the very first round since winning the Strikeforce heavyweight title while in the same year. Overeem may be known for his striking capability and underrated submission video game. The knock on him previously has been cardio challenges and suspect takedown defense sometimes.
Bet on Fighting has Overeem since the betting favorite at (-150) and Lesnar since the underdog at (+120).
I it is fair to agree with those possibility since Lesnar is coming over long layoff and surgical procedures, and Overeem has been pretty active with the past year and a new half in MMA.
This fight is certainly pretty easy to explanation. Lesnar needs to obtain the fight to the ground and Overeem has to keep it standing to the easiest path to win. I always favor wrestlers in a lot of these fights and I'm normally correct because they can control where the fight takes place many times and that's how WHEN I see this fight.
I think Lesnar realizes that that is a five round fight which often favors him as Overeem offers had cardio issues previously. I think Lesnar will exude patience in making Overeem work as he'll must close the distance to hit Lesnar with those strong strikes. Overeem's striking arsenal might be limited to punches primarily as leg kicks and flying knees is likely to make him susceptible to takedowns. Lesnar will expect to put Overeem against the cage, not really planning to do damage but moreso just simply making Overeem work. Overeem is heavily muscled, clinching and defending takedowns can cause the lactic acid to generate which will favor Lesnar this longer the fight should go.
If Lesnar is capable of get Overeem on the ground he ought to be fine there when it comes to submissions, but Lesnar has to be careful of Overeem's guillontine choke that's the reason for almost half of his submission victories. Overeem is well versed on the ground, nevertheless the chances of him distributing Lesnar from that location are relatively small. Lesnar prefers not to stay in his oppositions guard, often moving to be able to halfguard while controlling his opponents. His wrestling base makes him extremely tough to sweep as nicely.
Overeem is a formidable opponent but I do believe he will fold if Lesnar has the capacity to impose his will. Overeem is the favorite in this battle, he's making his UFC debut however event, his mom will be battling cancer, and he's fighting a person who stylistically isn't a great matchup for him. That's a lot to overcome and he can do it with his punching power, but There's no doubt that Lesnar takes Overeem into the second round and is done him there via TKO(ground and also pound).
