Las Vegas - was held a conference call with 141 participants from the former champion UFC heavyweight Brock Lesnar UFC, and Strikeforce heavyweight former champion Alistair Overeem, who will meet on Friday December 30th to determine who will fight against champion Junior Dos Santos.

The two fighters will meet at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in an event which this time will be on a Friday and open from 7 pm PT/10 pm ET.

Overeem was asked about his focus for this fight, and very quiet replied: "I tried to stay focused on the fight, relaxing, although I have now a situation with my mother, but I'm ready." This is because her mother knew she was sick last week so had to attend this family affair.

For his part Lesnar said he has trained hard and is motivated by his return. "It's a sport that you must always evolve to be on top. I can not wait to return to the Octagon, "and said ready after 14 months of absence after the last time he entered the Octagon:" I'm competitive and there is electricity in the air, I'm happy. " Also on recovery and had to undergo surgery, said: "There is nothing easy about it. But we all want to be healthy, it feels good to be healthy. Looking back of course you think I could have done some things different about the surgery. But you have to live with your decisions. "

This being the debut of Alistair Overeem in the UFC was questioned about the extra pressure that might mean, but said: "The bigger the fight, and more media attention and more people see it, and I have better performance best for me. Sure, there is pressure to be the first fight in the UFC, but normal. "

Overeem was adamant in his statement on the outcome of the fight: "We are aggressive, we want to end a fight, I see that we get beyond the first or second round," what Lesnar agreed: "I feel like this is a heavyweight bout. Both want to end the fight. I do not think we get to the five rounds. "

Lesnar, considered the underdog for this fight said about it: "I do not mind being favorite or not, at the end of the day it was resolved to go in there. It is the beauty of this sport. My intention is to win and secure Alistair also. " While Overeem said: "I am a complete fighter. I have wrestling and Jiu Jitsu, but I prefer a KO on a submission, always prefer to believe that anyone ".

Clash of Styles in the UFC 141

The next December 30 in Las Vegas two giants of mixed martial arts clash in the main event of UFC 141 to decide who the next opponent super heavyweight champion of the UFC, the Brazilian Junior dos Santos.

Brock Lesnar Alistair Overeem and collide inside the Octagon in a battle that has different styles for the stars. When we say giant, not just for its quality, but also because both are huge physically. Lesnar measured 6'3 "and weighs 265 pounds, Overeem, 6'5" and weight 265.

The way to fight the former champion Brock is well known in the U.S., power struggle, great fitness and take his opponent to the mat to finish them to death or submission. Opponents defeated as Frank Mir, Randy Couture and Shane Carwin can give veracity of this.

His 5-2 record and his arrival at UFC not long ago, in 2008, could make one think that Lesnar is inexperienced or lacks the tusk of the veterans in this sport. But there seems to be the case, as this warrior and national collegiate champion in his senior year at the University of Minnesota and his record there was 106-5. In addition, their rivals in the UFC have been first class.

Many have doubted its quality that comes from the WWE to MMA and always comes out the spirit of entertainer , but he managed to do in so little time deserves recognition for all. UFC champ was in his third fight by knocking out Couture, Mir took revenge in a brutal manner Carwin and finished him in two rounds. Want more?

It is true that knocked down with the Mexican Cain Velasquez, but until minutes before losing his UFC Championship Junior dos Santos many said was invincible and that Cain was among the 10 best fighters pound for pound.

His opponent this time is quite the opposite. It has an awesome experience stamped 1/11/35, was champion of Strikeforce and Dream, fought in Pride and even had the title of K-1.

Overeem has fists of steel, its muay Thai kicks are lethal and secure these two will be the main weapons against Brock. To top it off the Dutch fighter has won 33 of his last 35 fights and is in the prime of his career.

Both are facing something new in their careers. Lesnar has never had anyone taller and stronger than him in front, while Overeem has never faced a fighter as his rival, with a force and drive stunning.

Two mixed martial arts schools. The fighting with Lesnar and kickboxing and muay Thai with Overeem.

Predicting a favorite in this battle is very difficult, but I am inclined by the "Viking" of Minnesota, who is healthy, eager to return to the top and you can box better than they looked in his last fight with Velasquez.

The table is set and the risk is great for me to make this forecast, it looks closed the fight and the quality of those involved, but try to predict what will happen, without wishing to be a seer, of course ...

There we see.
