The final UFC fight of the year, UFC 141, contains one of the most aniticpated fights of 2011 with the return of former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar versus Alastair Overeem.
Brock Lesnar last fought in October 2010 when he lost the belt to Cain Velasquex (who lost the belt last month in his first title defense against Junior dos Santos). Overeem last fought in June in Strikeforce (a rather boring fight against Fabricio Werdum) but then fell in to limbo after a falling out with Strikeforce and his Golden Glory team. He signed a contract with UFC in September (he is currently with Xtreme Couture).
This fight has been highly anticipated since Overeem’s September signing and the winner will be heading in to a Heavyweight Championship fight against dos Santos next year.
Disappointing fight of the year... The Diaz fight was good though and the bearded guy had a good knockout.
