Muhammed Lawal weighs in on Lesnar vs. Overeem, says Lesnar needs to "Jon Fitch" Overeem
by Hubert Lau on December 26, 2011

Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal says that Brock Lesnar's best chance of victory is to out-wrestle Alistair Overeem in their matchup at UFC 141 according to yahoosports.com.

"He has to Chael Sonnen or Jon Fitch him, and close the distance right away with a jab or a fake. Just keep him guessing," Lawal said.

Lawal also states that Lesnar cannot simply charge at Overeem a la Heath Herring lest he risk serious damage from Overeem.

"It's going to be very important for Brock to set up his takedowns because without the setups, he's getting knocked out or hurt...Overeem is the wrong person to shoot on out of the blue," Lawal said.

"All he has to do is be Overeem, He can keep the fight close and use his knees or keep his distance with leg kicks and a good 1-2," Lawal said.

The outcome of the Lesnar vs. Overeem bout will shape the UFC heavyweight division, with the winner becoming the top contender of the weight class.

Will Overeem be able stop Lesnar to become a force in the UFC? Will Lesnar be able to take Overeem down and continue his journey to reclaim the UFC heavyweight title? Lesnar and Overeem will fight on the main event at UFC 141 set for December 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
