Former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar weighed-in at 266 pounds on Thursday, three pounds heavier than his opponent Alistair Overeem ahead of their UFC 141 showdown.

Lesnar, however, remained silent after his weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. While Overeem, a veteran kick-boxer making his debut in the UFC, stated his intention to ensure Lesnar's return to the Octagon - his first fight since losing the title to Cain Velasquez in October 2010 - will be an unpleasant one.

"It's very good to finally be in the UFC," said Overeem. "As for tomorrow, it will be short. I've predicted a first, and if not in the first, a second-round knockout."
