Brock Lesnar to fight at UFC 141 on Dec.31st

Former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistar Overeem has signed with the UFC and will face Lesnar in a five round fight to serve as a #1 contender spot.The victor will face the winner of the Nov.12 bout between current champion Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos. Overeem was releaed from strikeforce in late July following a conflict between UFC and trikeforce officials regarding his ability to compete in a Sept. 10th bout with Antonio Silva.On the filpside, Lesnar hasn't competed since an October 2010 loss to Velasqueze.A second bout with Diverticulitis nixed a summer bout with other Ultimat Fighter coach Dos Santos.Everyone counted out Lesnar after this second bout and I will admit I thought so also,but The Bossman Dana White was qouted as saying "Ridiculous",and I must say I am happy that Lesnar is coming back.
