UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem - Open Discussion Thread

Joe Rogan's war face...needs some work. Photo: Esther Lin/MMAFighting.com

Friends, fight-lovers, and all-around knuckleheads, welcome to the Head Kick Legend UFC 141 open discussion thread! Please direct all tomfoolery, skulduggery, gnashing of teeth, and, you know, enlightened commentary about the night's proceedings to this thread.

Your fight card for the evening:

Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem
Nate Diaz vs. Donald Cerrone
Jon Fitch vs. Johny Hendricks
Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Alexander Gustafsson
Nam Phan vs. Jimy Hettes
Ross Pearson vs. Junior Assuncao
Anthony Njokuani vs. Danny Castillo
Dong-Hyun Kim vs. Sean Pierson
Jacob Volkmann vs. Efrain Escudero
Matt Riddle vs. Luis Ramos
Manny Gamburyan vs. Diego Nunes

Your MC for the evening is a bright, tender-hearted, unconventionally handsome young man with severe animal allergies. His favorite sandwich is baloney, his favorite submission is "chin to the eye." He tried to shake Andrei Arlovski's hand in a public men's room and was once given the cold shoulder by Bas Rutten at a comic book convention. And now you know...the rest of the story.

Update: Ariel Helwani has announced via Twitter that Matt Riddle is off the card due to illness. Riddle vs. Ramos has been scuttled.

Nice! When I was a kid I used to listen to those on AM radio on the drive home from music lessons….What a trip back into memory lane…..

All these, uh, dealmakers making deals. Ya know, I don't, all I know is I'm ready to fight so, ya know, I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant.

Confession time

I only know about Paul Harvey from cartoon parodies. Was the show any good?

I was quite young at the time....

….so I don’t recall many of the stories, but they always gave me goosebumps, so I’m gonna say yes, yes it was.

I didn’t even know the fellows name until you posted it.

If you are going to lie to me, then we are going to box

You know, despite the semi-bogus way it happened, i can’t help but feel that Diaz ended up making a better TUF champ than Gamburyan would have.
