Alistair Overeem said at the UFC 141 press conference that he told his fiance before the fight that he predicted he'd finish Brock Lesnar early with a liver kick.
He called his first UFC experience "big." He said it's a hundred times bigger than Strikeforce and even bigger than K1. "I love it, every second of it," he said.
When asked if he was surprised Lesnar wasn't more aggressive with his wrestling early, Overeem said he felt he was trying to be unpredictable after improving his game between fights. He said he prepared for anything - takedown defense or a striking affair.
