With UFC 141 just days away, the debate over the main event of Brock Lesnar versus Alistair Overeem has been taken on from every angle.
There have been arguments over which fighter will come out on top. Debates on how the fight will end and how quickly it will be over. Discussions on which fighter needs this win more.
Both heavyweights bring very different skill sets to the Octagon.
Lesnar’s collegiate wrestling background combined with his brute strength has allowed him to overwhelm many of his opponents. There has been some question of his ability to take a punch, but there is no doubt that Brock is a challenge for any fighter.
Alistair Overeem comes with maybe the best technical striking in the heavyweight division. He is a K-1 striking champion as well as a world grappling champion. He may be one of the few heavyweights that can match Lesnar’s size and strength.
The winner of this fight will go on to face Junior Dos Santos for the UFC heavyweight championship.
While this fight means a great deal to both fighters, I feel that this fight means everything to Lesnar.
Here is five reasons why Lesnar must win at UFC 141.
