BROCK LESNAR'S NEXT UFC FOE SAYS HE IS SENDING LESNAR 'BACK TO WWE'

In a blog for Yahoo.com, Alistair Overeem, who was responding to rumors he was about to pull out of his scheduled 12/30 UFC PPV main event against Brock Lesnar, said that he had returned to Holland to be close to his mother, who has been battling cancer, promising there were no issues that would prevent him from fighting.

Overeem closed the blog with a shot at Lesnar, penning, "say to MMA fans, again, don’t worry, I will be sending this guy back to WWE for you."

The fight on 12/30 will be Lesnar's return to the UFC for the first time since undergoing surgery to have a portion of his colon removed as a result of his ongoing issues with bout of diverticulitis. Lesnar last fought in October 2010, losing the UFC Heavyweight championship to Cain Velasquez.
