Current UFC 141 Betting Odds –On Friday, December 30, 2011, UFC 141 will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, former UFC Heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar will square off against former Strikeforce Heavyweight and K-1 World Grand Prix champion Alistair Overeem in a bout to determine the next challenger for Junior dos Santos’ Heavyweight title. Lesnar is by far the Heavyweight division’s most dominant wrestler, but Overeem is a truly world class striker with a very underrated grappling game of his own. Lesnar is notoriously not fond of taking punches, and has never faced anyone with Overeem’s punching power or technique, but his sheer physical strength and wrestling prowess make standing with him a difficult proposition, and he proved against Shane Carwin that while he might not handle punches well, he is durable and will fight through a lot of adversity. This has all the makings of a landmark Heavyweight showdown, and with a title shot on the line this should be a very explosive bout.

In the semi-main event, Nate Diaz will challenge surging WEC alum Donald Cerrone in what should be an awesome Lightweight matchup. These are two of the most prolific submission grapplers in the Lightweight division, and it will be interesting to see how Cerrone’s superior wrestling and athleticism match up against Diaz’s unorthodox but effective striking. On the ground, either of these guys could finish this fight, so this is a great fight as well. Rounding out the card are two big Welterweight bouts pitting Jon Fitch against Johnny Hendricks and Diego Sanchez against Jake Ellenberger, along with a 145 pound showdown between Manny Gamburyan and Diego Nunes.
