Overeem ready for UFC 141 'dream fight,' looks forward to future bout with Dos Santos

While much of the buildup for next week's year-end UFC 141 event has focused on the health of Brock Lesnar (5-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and the licensing difficulties of Alistair Overeem (35-11 MMA, 0-0 UFC), the two massive heavyweights aren't really interested in addressing those topics.
Instead, both fighters insist their focus is entirely on what will happen when the cage door closes behind them
The intriguing clash of superstars is sure to have Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena abuzz, and Overeem promises to deliver a show. After all, he's happy to take part in this "dream fight," and he looks forward to meeting the champion, as well.
"I'm very happy with the opportunity I got fighting Brock," Overeem today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on a conference call promoting the event. "I think it's a dream match for not only myself but for the fans, as well."

I really want Overeem to beat Lesnar so we can see Overeem vs. JDS. That is an epic fight that really needs to happen.

Personally i've never had any dreams about this fight, but it's the coolest HW fight in a long time.

I wonder if Brock is gonna crack open a Coors Light after his victory?

Overeem vs Dos Santos would be epic, a slugfest for sure.

Yo...Overrated...I mean Overeem...you have to get by Brock first. I don't like to bash fighters but I can't stand this guy. I think he is way overrated and way too arrogant and I feel he is a coward as well. He thinks he is god. I can't wait till he gets rode hard and put away wet. Any of the UFC's top HWs should be able to mess him up. Then we will be done with Overeem's mouth once and for all. Good luck Overeem....and then good riddance.
