Alistair Overeem has predicted that Brock Lesnar won't last beyond the first round when the heavyweights go head-to-head at UFC 141.

Overeem, who will make his UFC debut in December, is confident he will have wrapped up victory inside the first round when he steps into the Octagon with Lesnar in Las Vegas.

With the winner set to be awarded a title bout with either Cain Velasquez or Junior Dos Santos, Overeem is confident he will be getting his first crack at the UFC belt in the near future.

"I don't really talk about training, so there's nothing to say there. I'm just going to do the usual. I know my body, I know how it works, and I'm very confident," Overeem said. "It's going to be a knockout victory in the first round. He's not going to get out of the first round."
