I don't think that Lesnar has any tools that can make the fight problematic for Overeem. Overeem is a capable grappler AND has faced good wrestlers before, he would not be afraid to let the fight go to the ground with Lesnar, and Lesnar has often relied on superior size/strength on the ground before.. which will be hard against Overeem. If the fight is kept standing up.. I don't know what Lesnar should do ..

[bagley920]

I haven't been impressed with Overeem lately

[kit99bar]

Just because Werdum was flopping left and right!
These are still fun to watch.  Definitely not as good as UFC fighters so the Brock fight will answer a lot of questions.

[bagley920]

Let's focus on next weekend, UC 139, Shogun or Hendo?

[kit99bar]

Hendo vs Shogun:  to hard to call.  I want Hendo to win though.
Silva vs Le:  I think Le will take this pretty easily and get a shot a Silva.  Kinda a gift from the UFC as it will be a big draw.

Alright fellas, who you got tonight? Cain or Junior?

@bagley920:

Alright fellas, who you got tonight? Cain or Junior?

Either Junior takes it standing up or Cain takes him down and wins the ground-battle

[kit99bar]

I think JDS is going to be able to keep it mostly standing and will beat Cain via decision or late rounds KO.

[bagley920]

Well, 1:04 isn't much to judge from but I thought Junior would win if it was a standup fight.

[kit99bar]

Unfortunately, Cain didn't get grapple with him.  Dana was bitching about it after the fight instead of complimenting JDS lol

[bagley920]

Dana wants to keep the Hispanic community interested, plain and simple. He's in it for the money.

[kit99bar]

true true! 
He also wanted a 5 round back and forth battle for the ages instead of a fight shorter than a tampon commercial. hha

[bagley920]

In that situation, I agree, being the only fight televised. Kind of a let down for a one hour event and only 1:04 of actual fighting. I was hoping they would televise the Guide/Henderson fight. That was an awesome fight.

[kit99bar]

Agreed again, UFC really screwed up with not televising that fight

[bagley920]

Either way, I think the UFC is looking up. Given the last 2 boxing promos were a sucker punch by Mayweather and a robbery by the judges for Pacman, now is the time to capitalize!

[bagley920]

Overeem failed a drug test, shocker!

[bagley920]

Anyone else super excited about Anderson vs Chael tonight?

I don't typically get hyped for your average UFC card, but this has the making to be a truly spectacular fight. I'm hoping I can round up some people to catch it at a local watering hole.

[bagley920]

There was 8000 people at the freaking weigh in. Crazy!

[kit99bar]

Randomly saw Sonnen at LAX last Monday.  Will be cheering for him!
