UFC 141 Ends With Overeem Sending Lesnar Into Retirement, But Features a Shocking Knockout and Nate Diaz’s Boxing Shining

Posted in Boxing classes | January 4th, 2012

It isn’t all hype with Alistair Overeem.

In as winning conform as any of a wins in his twelve-fight dominant streak, Overeem went by Brock Lesnar quick, hard, and decisively. It took a small over dual minutes, though Overeem silenced many of his critics and sent an MMA media prodigy into retirement by simply strenuous him.

From a commencement it was apparent that Overeem was going to be running a action, as it was Lesnar’s initial quarrel in 14 months and usually his third quarrel in a final dual and a half years. Lesnar had no answer for a male who was means to simply repress him, and that’s what Overeem did by forcing Lesnar opposite a enclosure and never gripping a quarrel in a core of a octagon. It didn’t take too many strikes for Overeem to take down Lesnar, though that’s since they were good placed strikes as Overeem’s knees worked Lesnar’s physique in credentials for a kickboxing lesson. That doctrine incited into one-kick and propagandize was out for Lesnar as a liver flog sent him exploding into a cage, a beaten fighter. Overeem pounced and would chuck many, though land usually one large uppercut before Mario Yamasaki stopped it.

Lesnar announced his retirement from MMA after a quarrel and it was a good decision. Much of Lesnar’s intensity in a competition was nude divided over a past dual years as dual apart bouts with Diverticulitis finished with around a feet of Lesnar’s colon being removed. Taking that into account, Overeem’s plan was apparent and a fact that it didn’t take too many shots from a 260-pound male to put Lesnar down might pronounce equally to a force behind Overeem’s blows and a fee Lesnar’s illness had taken on his body.

The night’s biggest startle came from Johny Hendricks and his twelve second KO of Jon Fitch. In holding out one of a best in UFC’s welterweight division, Hendricks automatically put his name into a pretension hunt. UFC’s welterweight multiplication is going by a bit of a changing of a ensure with B.J. Penn’s retirement, GSP’s injury, and Matt Hughes (again) presumably being done. It leaves room in a spotlight and pretension design for new faces to emerge. All of a people nearby a pretension shot (Jake Ellenberger, Carlos Condit, and Nick Diaz) are in fights in a arriving months, so it is now a watchful duration for Hendricks. One that should finish with his subsequent quarrel being an even some-more high-profile one.

The best opening during UFC 141 would simply go to Nate Diaz. In a quarrel where he was a sincerely large underdog, Diaz dominated Donald Cerrone with combinations and counterboxing, always gripping a quarrel standing. The unanimous preference was never in doubt as Cerrone seemed so kick adult after turn one that it was usually a matter of if he could keep from removing knocked out in rounds dual and three. He didn’t get knocked out, though Cerrone also didn’t even try to make a quarrel anything other than a fighting match. Cerrone had no problem holding one of Diaz’s legs out from underneath him on many occasions, though never followed adult and always authorised Diaz behind to his feet. Diaz would afterwards continue to lambaste Cerrone, and a routine would repeat for a improved partial of a fight’s final dual rounds.

Diaz is looking for a pretension run to start with this win, and it really good could start here. But this win won’t be adequate to get him a pretension shot only like that. The UFC’s 155-pound lightweight multiplication has fast turn a many constrained and rival multiplication in all of MMA. Having mislaid to both Gray Maynard and Clay Guida, it would seem judicious that a win opposite one of them would strictly put Diaz into a pretension picture. Of march Anthony Pettis or Joe Lauzon could have something to contend about pretension shots after their quarrel in February. Nevertheless, this win came on what we trust was a excellent opening of Diaz’s career and should concede to him to get a fights to once again see if he can mangle by to a subsequent level.

In other results, Alexander Gustaffson took caring of Vladimir Matyushenko with a TKO 2:13 into a initial turn of their light-heavyweight fight. Also, unanimous decisions were a normal in a undercard as 5 of a card’s initial 6 fights finished in a unanimous decision. Of those, a many notable was Dong Hyun Kim resilient from his detriment to Carlos Condit with a sincerely easy win opposite Sean Pierson, Jim Hettes’ win over Nam Phan giving Hettes his second win in UFC while relocating his record to 10-0, and Deigo Nunes’ feat over Manny Gamburyan.
