A duel of giants promises to shake the structures of Ultimate in December. Former Strikeforce champion, alistair overeem faces former UFC champion Brock Lesnar. The fight will be the main attraction of UFC 141, an event scheduled to take place on December 30th, in Las Vegas in the United States.
Earlier this week, Dana White denied a speculated retirement for Lesnar and assured that the WWE star is cured, after undergoing long treatment to cure himself of the diverticulitis that haunts the big man's days.
Yes, alistair overeem, will make his UFC debut, after long negotiations for the event with the Dutch fighter, who recently left Strikeforce after not accepting the anticipation of his fight with Antonio Pezão. In his last performance, Overeem defeated the Brazilian Fabricio Werdum, in the quarter-finals of the Strikeforce GP in June this year.
Brock Lesnar has been away from training since May, when he was diagnosed with diverticulitis and was forced to leave the fight against the Brazilian Junior Gypsy, in the duel between the two coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 11, before that he had suffered the first knockout of his career, which cost him the UFC heavyweight belt. In turn, alistair overeem has not lost since 2007, and in this period has accumulated 10 consecutive victories, in addition to taking home the title of the K-1 Wolrd GP, the main stand-up fighting tournament in the world.
