Today it was announced that Alistair Overeem not only signed with the UFC, but will be facing Brock Lesnar on December 30th.
Overeem is perhaps best known for holding the Strikeforce, Dream and K-1 heavyweight championships at the same time, making him one of the biggest stars outside the UFC.
Lesnar is the former UFC heavyweight champion and MMA’s biggest draw, who has been recovering from a second bout with diverticulitis.
This will be one of the most anticipated fights of the year. Here’s a look at some of the other highly anticipated fights left in 2011.
