Last night amidst one of the busiest weekend’s combat sports has seen all year Brock Lesnar is the hot topic of discussion.
It was billed as the biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history when the NCAA Division I champion met the K-1 kickboxing champion in a throw-back to the early days of the promotions history with a traditional striker vs. grappler showdown.
UFC 141 was the perfect event to end a banner year for the world's premier mixed martial arts promotion. We saw the rise of young new stars with Alexander Gustafsson and Jimy Hettes. Alistair Overeem, Nate Diaz and Johny Hendricks fought to make their cases for title contentions. We also witnessed the retirement of one of the biggest draws in MMA, Brock Lesnar. Let's take a look at what may be next for the fighters of UFC 141 in the coming new year.
Why read other UFC predictions when you can you have a nice laugh in reading mine. At UFC 141 I went (3-2). Meh. I’ll throw out an old sports cliché, “the bounces aren’t going our way.” To be honest I don’t know too many people who were expecting Mark Hominick to lose the way he did and I think most of us can agree that Claude Patrick deserved a better fate against Ebersole. But we won’t cry over spilt milk, instead we will raise our glasses for another edition of MMASucka.com’s Half-Cut Picks for UFC 141.
The UFC will be holding their pre-fight press conference for this Friday's (Dec.30) UFC 141 event today (Dec.28). You can watch the press conference live on MMASucka.com beginning at approximately 1pm PT/4pm ET.
This time around THQ has simulated the UFC 141 main event between Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem using UFC Undisputed 3. UFC 141 goes down on December 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to the simulation Overeem will have his hand held as the victor. They are predicting he wins by KO in the very first round. They simulated the fight 25 times using the AI and these are the stats thanks to BloodyElbow.com.
Alistair Overeem will be having a phone conversation with the Nevada State Athletic Commission for reasons that have not been announced to the public yet. During the UFC 140 broadcast the MMA world was set a buzz due to a tweet sent out that stated Overeem would be out of his fight against Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 on Dec. 30.
No matter how much Dana White wants to deny the rumours of Alistair Overeem being taken off the UFC 141 Main Event, those rumors are still flying. I’m of the belief that where there is smoke there is fire. It all started when Kevin Iole from Yahoo/Sports sent out a tweet near the end of UFC 140.
During a radio interview with "The Verbal Submission". Nik Lentz confessed to having the privilege of training with Brock Lesnar. Initially, you may think "Wow, that's awesome!" However once you read what actually went down with Lesnar, you may have a slight change of heart.
