Two of the biggest men in the business square off when Brock Lesnar takes on Alistair Overeem in the main event of UFC 141.  

The winner will take on UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos sometime next year with the coveted title belt on the line. 

The co-main event has “show stealer” written all over it when lightweights Donald Cerrone and Nate Diaz clash in a bout that has some bad blood behind it. 

Jon Fitch makes his return on this card against fellow accomplished college wrestler Johny Hendricks, where the winner will undoubtedly enter the title discussion.

In a classic case of a wily veteran vs. a young up-and-comer, Vladimir “The Janitor” Matyushenko takes on Alexander “The Mauler” Mustafsson in a bout that could propel the winner into the top 10 of the division. 

The main card begins when Nam Pham takes on undefeated grappling ace Jimy Hettes, who is looking to go 2-0 in the UFC on this occasion. 

Bleacher Report MMA Featured Columnists Jeffrey McKinney, Dale De Souza, Jordy McElroy, Brian Lopez-Benchimol and myself, John Heinis, tell you who the winners will be on Friday.
