UFC 146: Junior Dos Santos Vs. Alistair Overeem Tickets
Everyone’s is excited for the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC 146 battle between Alistair Overeem, the challenger who aims to take the heavyweight title from the current title holder Junior Dos Santos. Overeem, who was interviewed by MMAinterviews.tv said that he and his opponent have an evenly matched skill set. He said in the interview that since they are even, it will all come down to strategy and his experience as he had been in more fights compared to heavyweight champion Dos Santos. He said, “I’ve seen more different styles of opponents. So, I do think that experience is on my side. I do feel that I am going into this fight with an advantage. It feels like we’re going to make history.”
Just showing the faceoff a few days ago has pumped up a lot of fans for the big fight and couldn’t wait to see who will rule the ring. With two of the best fighters of UFC, missing this fight would be a sin. Let me tell you a few reasons why this fight is totally worth watching.
Overeem is one of the world’s premier strikers, and according to many, an extremely intelligent Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter. He’s a K-1 Grand Prix champion and can be regarded without doubt as one of the best heavyweight fighters out there. However, the majority of his fights were specifically kick-boxing.
On the opposite corner of the ring there’s Brazilian Dos Santos whose strikes are much nurtured in the world of UFC. His stint in the UFC developed his long jabs, crushing long-range uppercuts and hooks, the opposite of what Overeem uses in K-1 which are short tight strikes. Dos Santos may have the upper hand when it comes to the size and shape of the ring but Overeem, from the Netherlands, knows this and has of course prepared himself for it.
Therefore, it is very difficult to say who will win the fight. It will be a long and close one, with both fighters dancing inside the ring until the very end. The above speculations are just one of the many and what would happen this May couldn’t be easily figured out even by a veteran UFC expert. One thing is for sure, Overeem and Dos Santos would give their fans one hell of a fight.
The fight will take place on the 26th of May and it will be held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The heavyweight title will be the main event but there would be other fights such as Edson Barboza vs. Evan Dunham, Dan Hardy vs. Duane Ludwig, Shane Del Rosario vs. Gabriel Gonzaga, Frank Mir vs. Cain Velasquez and Roy Nelson vs. Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva.
