Brock Lesnar knows what he's up against in Alistair Overeem next week at UFC 141. He understands the striking skills his opponent brings to the table, and knows how important it is that he take control of the fight. In an interview with AskMen.com, he articulated as much:
"I'm really excited. It's been a long time coming here, and, you know, after all the bullsh** I've been through, it feels good to just do what I want to do with my life -- and that's fight... he's definitely a huge threat on his feet. We've done a lot of different things so that we can try and prevent [him controlling the fight]. I'm not going to give away any ancient Chinese secrets, but we've got to avoid those things. We've got to push this fight, control it and, at the end of the day, I've got to take this fight and make it my own fight. But as soon as I let him dictate, well, that's bad for Brock Lesnar."
