Overeem vs. Lesnar

Hey this is just a thought but since Overeem has signed with K-1 hero's and is only fighting Heavyweight from what I heard on another forum. Would that give a potential match-up between Overeem and Lesnar in the future. If so Overeem by total domination.

Wouldn't even be a good fight. More like a clinic on how to lose.

This would be a good fight IMO. Overeem has tons more experience in mma, but Lesnar has a wrestling background. This would be a very interesting match, it's possible if Lesnar decides to fight in K-1 some more.

Now that K-1 have got Bob Sapp back, Lesnar versus Sapp could happen also.

Overeem is an actual MMA fighter. He might even have the cardio edge too. He'd destroy Lesnar. K-1 knows that

I don't see how

I don't see how people say this would be a massacre. We haven't seen Lesnar tested yet so we really don't know his skill set. Also, while Overeem is a very good fighter the power difference is so extreme that I think Lesnar would have a very good chance of taking him down and GnP him. But since we don't know Lesnar's skill set yet it could go just the opposite. I don't think anyone can really say which way it would go for sure.

Why would overeem have a cardio advantage, because Lesnar is big? Lesnar was an incredible wrestler a few years ago, that takes some insane cardio, I'm sure Lesnar's cardio is fine.

Other than that, I could see overeem either kneeing him to death if he could avoid the take down, or subbing him on the ground, he's got a good guard. But it's very possible that Lesnar could GnP him to a win.

Not to mention...have any of you actually seen Lesnar? Hes a f*ucking tank of a human being.

Overeem gassed with Shogun laying on top of him (twice), what do you think is going to happen when a 250lbs block of muscle with wrestling skills (you've heard the term "make yourself heavy" in grappling) gets on top of him? I love the Demolition Man but, come on! Total domination?!?!

Icon1 Depends...

If Overeem sticks and moves and leg kicks the shit out of Lesnar he could win, but if Lesnar gets a hold of him he's in huge trouble.

At the very least, the match would be less of a freak show than a possible Lesnar-Sapp meeting. <--wants to see Bob Sapp Cry again
