Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar returns to the cage for the first time in over 14 months this Friday night at UFC 141: “Lesnar vs Overeem” in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lesnar takes on former Strikeforce and DREAM titleholder Alistair Overeem in the night’s featured main event.

Lesnar has been on the sidelines after a second bout with diverticulitis, but now feels that he is back at full strength and is one win away from a shot at regaining his UFC title. Lesnar spoke with USA Today’s MMAjunkie.com on Tuesday night about his road to recovery and his return bout with Overeem.
