BTW, selfishly decided to start this thread earlier because I'm somehow playing a role in getting the singer Natasha Bedingfield tickets for this. Have no idea how I got involved, but glad to help a fellow Lewisham resident out.

Because this thread has been made early, I've decided to bookmark it and come back Saturday for the fights.
Depending on whether I'm at home or at Hooters for this one. Either way, I'm going to see it.
Thanks for reminding me about this BTW.

Overeem is going to break Lesnar's body and eat his soul.

I hope Overeem wins. One, because I dislike Lesnar & two, my pride's on the line, because I've been saying he'll win to a friend since it was announced.

Lesnar stands no chance on the feet. If he doesnt take Overeem down in the first ten seconds, he is done.

I'm going to cry right now given I know Lesnar's going to have his head tiger knee'd into the sun when he goes for a takedown...

Completly forgot this was tonight until I saw the weigh-ins. I'll have to see if I can make it to Hooters tonight to see it.
I'm looking forward to the main event and to the Diaz/Cerrone fight.

Not sure whether this is allowed or not, but here goes. I'm not a spammer. Here's my first attempt at sports journalism: kylemulholland.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/ufc-brock-vs-overeem-who-needs-it-more/It's from my new blog. I discuss the implications of the fight for both men, and for the division as a whole. It's supposed to be fairly accessible. I would really appreciate any of the feedback you may have on the writing style, content and improvements. Cheers.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Watching the Countdown now. Lesnar laughing is a bit creepy.

It really is a fight of one guy who has nothing to lose and everything to gain against a guy who's career could be SHOT by losing.

Really hoping Lesnar derails the hype train. He just needs to get him down for one round and the Reem will gas. That being said, one Uberknee might end everything.
