Source: UFC.com - Sep 7, 2011 at 9:29 AM
Alistair Overeem ended 2010 with four fights: three in one night on December 11th en route to a K-1 World Grand Prix title, and then a 19 second blast-out of Todd Duffee on New Year’s Eve.
This December, “The Reem” will get ready for the New Year in more sedate fashion. This time, he’ll make just one trip up those four steps, but it will be a biggie, as he will compete in the UFC for the first time on December 30th against former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
It was the news that captivated the mixed martial arts world on Tuesday, a blistering wake-up call to those still sleepy from the Labor Day weekend – Overeem, the former Strikeforce
