Alistair Overeem Expects A First Round Knockout Over Brock Lesnar

Pretty confident guy. Brock is heavy with good wrestling skills, but he’s nowhere near Alistair in striking.

I bet that he does not knock out Lesnar in the first round.

Overeem 2012 heavyweight champ.Its almost a supergight I dont know why Dana would set up his poster boy against Overeem, I love Brock but hes going to sleep in the 1st.

I’m not sure he’s going to be able to handle the first round storm as well as Cain did.

little fun fact for you guys: overeem is not a great striker, he’s good, but not at all great. winning in k-1 doesn’t mean anything as far as mma is concerned. he won’t stop the double and he will be on his back till brock decides he wants to take him out

He better be predicting that. If he doesn’t put Brock “Not in the Face” Lesnar out in the first, that probably means Brock got him on his back. Although Overeem used to have decent BJJ, I don’t know how flexible and active from his back he still is since he started the “horse meat diet” (just joking, no reason to start a discussion about Overroid’s natural muscles).
Putting down very simply:
1. Overeem’s grappling is better than Brock’s striking.
2. Both are extremely strong and I am not sure who would win in the clinch as Overeem has nasty elbows and knees, and Brock is a great wrestler. Different clinching techniques and equivalent strength, although I think Overeem’s wrestling might be just enough to keep him standing.
3. Overeem has a week chin. He gets rocked every time he gets hit. Brock has a solid chin, but is chicken s*** (his own words) when he gets hit in the face. Standing up, I don’t think Brock can hit Overeem and Overeem can hit Brock any time he chooses. On the ground, Brock can probably KO Alistair before he can pull a submission. However, Overeem used to have a decent ground scramble when he was thin, so that has yet to be determined.

Well, maybe it wasn’t that simple… It never is.

i totally forgot the 69 on the end of it lol that makes me laugh so hard reminds of me of a high school kid name for AIM

Just don’t punch yourself out by beating on his melon. Be ready for plan B.

Overroid’s TD defense is pretty lackluster, so I don’t see a first round TKO after he gets hit with a double. I can’t believe some of you think he’s going to rise through the ranks and be HW champ. If you think this guy gets through Cain or Dos Santos, you are sorely mistaken.

The Reem is so over rated. Brock lesnar by ground n pound round 2.

i can see this going like carwin/lesnar did

reem burning himself out in the 1st

lesnar finishing him in the 2nd

either way should be a fun fight

I cant see brock being able to do anything with Overeem i understand brock has a big wrestaling background but overeem has miles more experance and has been a active figter for many years. And cain showed that a much smaller fighter can stuff brocks takedowns now hes up against a man whos probably as strong as him and a hell of alot more athletic. Anyways i think its a total miss match

overrated overeem…and brock..lot of hype,im sure cain would woop bolth

mr42069, winning K1 means nothing? Your post is simply ridiculous, winning K1 means everything as far as striking ability is concerned, nobody in mma is on Reem’s level when it comes to striking!

Reem would make JDS look like an amateur in the stand up dept, I just can’t believe people don’t understand what K1 Champion means.

Reem is way too slow for Brock. Double leg take down. some ground and pound and finished with hammer fists!

Brock via Overeem gassing. Reem won’t be able to utilize his knees. He’ll get taken down every time he tries. I’m hoping I’m wrong though, I wanna see Overeem as champ in the future. I think Brock is his biggest challenge at heavyweight.

“Fact” Brock does have Balls! False > he can’t fight and will retire after this. “Fact” If he makes it through the first round he will win
