If you've ever been there, or driven through any streets there, you'd know they weren't trying, lol. I have family that lives in a beautiful little town 30 miles east of Sacramento, but when we drive up there, we leave the highway and take a shortcut through...Stockton. All those large central valley cities have incredibly high crime rates and you can definitely see how and why when you travel through the state. There's just nothing to do.

Overeem is on the gas. He has to be. His head is all misshapen. Wouldnt surprise me if Lesnar was on PED's either though.

Dana just tweeted that Overeem is good to go. Meaning he did grow that without PED's, freacking crazy.

Or he's just off his cycle right now. I'm not sure whether Overeem juices or not, but he went from November 2007 to May 2010 without a fight in the United States or any sort of drug testing. If he was on steroids, we'll probably never know.

I for one don't care about any of this steroids stuff, and this whole discussion the last week has been a boring waste of media coverage.

I want to know whether or not Overeem can stop a takedown and if he can take a couple punches without quitting. Glad all this other nonsense is over with.

Amen, same goes with Brocks' ability to eat a punch from Overeem and not end up breakdancing across the cage again the way he did in the Cain fight.

Love this card. Diaz Cowboy could be one of the best fights of the year, two of my favorite fighters. I like Hendricks but have a feeling he'll get fitched.

Main card:
Heavyweight bout: Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem-
Hard fight to pick, but I'm going to go with the wrestler in this one. I wasn't impressed with Overreem when he fought Werdum and he appeared to gas which I think will be his undoing against Lesnar if Brock is able to take him down and inflict some damage.
Lightweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Donald Cerrone-
This is going to be a great fight. I don't see either guy getting finished and I think in a decision Cerrone has a better chance of swaying the judges.
Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch vs. Johny Hendricks
Light Heavyweight bout: Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Alexander Gustafsson-

I feel like Overeem will win, but Lesnar has surprised me before.
