If you were waiting for a pre-fight trailer complete with Brock Lesnar pushing giant tires, Alistair Overeem lifting children with his biceps and both of them shooting guns off into the distance, stay right here!
As most MMA fans know by now, Lesnar makes his much-anticipated return on Dec. 30 against Overeem, and if that wasn’t big enough, this trailer is touting the fight as “King Kong vs. Godzilla.”
Lesnar, of course, has been struggling to get back to the Octagon since losing the title bout to Cain Velasquez on Oct. 23 and seeing his comeback attempt thwarted by diverticulitis.
He’s since had surgery and has been dubbed completely ready by UFC president Dana White despite rumors to the contrary.
Said White, via AroundtheOctagon.com:
“When I talk to this guy, he’s so healthy and feeling good, he’s actually quite pleasant to talk to these days. He’s actually quite pleasant on the phone. I can have a conversation with him forever on the phone now. It’s like night and day.”
“Like night and day.” If that’s the case, hopefully we can see Lesnar make an improbable comeback and face the winner of Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos in the future, because that would be epic.
Almost as epic as this trailer. Almost.
By the way, if you weren’t interested in the fight before, you are now. This trailer made me want to ride a chopper, smoke cigars and lift people with my biceps all at the same time.
Then again, anything involving Brock Lesnar comes complete with your in-your-face action.
Now the question is whether the fight will live up to the hype.
