UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem: LESNAR RETIRES!

Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem
(7:15 p.m. MT) Let's face it, Brock Lesnar did not look good in his title defense against Cain Valasquez. His battles outside of the octagon with diverticulitis raises even more doubt in his ability to come away with the win over a guy the size of Alistair Overeem. PREDICTION: Overeem makes good on his prediction and knocks out Lesnar in the second.

ANALYSIS: Brock cuts Overeem with a jab to start the first round. Overeem lands a strong kick to the ribs that sends Brock to the canvass. Overeem continuously lands blows as Brock turtles. Yamasaki calls the fight. Overeem wins via first round TKO. Lesnar looks terrible. LESNAR RETIRES!

Brock Lesnar did great things for the heavyweight division but this is a good decision for him. Unfortunately Brock just doesn't have the standing game to compete with Dos Santos, Valasquez, or Overeem. Speculation is already looming that he may return to the WWE but who knows. All the best to Brock in the future. Can't wait to see Overeem vs. Dos Santos!

Donald Cerrone vs. Nate Diaz
(7:20 p.m. MT) Really excited for this fight. Going to be a slug fest the whole way. Tough to say who wins as both Cerrone and Diaz have proved that they both can finish fights but where as Diaz has the attitude, Cerrone has the overall skill. PREDICTION: Cerrone wins unanimous decision, both fighters leave battered and bruised.

ANALYSIS: Both fighters come out swinging hard. Cerrones swinging wildly while Diaz is dialing his strikes in and landing nearly all of his punches. Cerrone is just eating shots over, and over and over again. Joe Rogan claims that Cerrone's jaw is broken as it bleeds. Second round starts off with Cerronne knocking down Diaz twice and landing some pretty good shots.Cerrone repeatedly sends Diaz down with sweeping leg kicks. Diaz gives Cerrone the double middle finger before the third round begins. Diaz continues to land shots over and over again. Cerrone sweeps his legs twice but doesn't mount. Both fighters trade blows as the round comes to a close. Both fighters look exhausted but Cerrone looks hurt. Diaz wins via unanimous decision.

Jon Fitch vs. Johny Hendricks
(7:35 p.m. MT) Haven't watched Fitch or Hendricks fight in a long time but going off of what I know, this should be a be a great fight. Look to see Fitch taking this fight to the ground and trying to control Hendricks along the cage while Hendricks looks to counter quickly with strikes. If Hendricks catches Fitch it could be over quick. PREDICTION: Still, I think Fitch's ground game is too good. Fitch wins via submition.

ANALYSIS: WOW!! Hendricks nails Fitch with a hook that sends him to the ground. Mazzagatti jumps on Fitch to call the fight at 12 seconds!!

Alexander Gustafsson vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
(7:40 p.m. MT) I really like Gustafsson in this one. Matyushenko is good but Gustafsson is better, younger and stronger. Should be quick. PREDICTION: Gustafsson wins via first-round knock-out.

ANALYSIS: Nailed it. Gustafsson knocks out Matyushenko in the first round (2:13 TKO). Looks in control the entire time throwing numerous headkicks before catching Matyushenko with a stiff jab coming in. Gustafsson gets on top swinging and the ref forced to call it off.

Jim Hettes vs. Nam Phan
(7:45 p.m. MT) I like Nam Phan, his name alone gives me enough confidence to pick him. I know nothing about Jimmy 'The Kid' but I know he's unbeaten and who am I to pick against him now? PREDICTION: 'The Kid' wins via split decision.

ANALYSIS: The Kid starts off strong, sweeping Nam Phan to the ground, pounding on his face and going for countless submitions. An ambar attempt turned ground and pound left Nam Phan bloodied as the round ends. Second round is much of the same as Hettes controls Nam Phan on the ground and drops bombs from and goes for numerous submitions, The Kid is relentless. In the third Nam Phan begins to land some shots from the standing position but again Hettes takes the fight to the ground and beats Nam Phan relentlessly. Very impressive.
Jimmy 'The Kid' Hettes wins via unanimous decision... I was close.
