It was Mircea Eliade who said that ‘in imitating the exemplary acts of a god or of a mythical hero, or simply by recounting their adventures, the man of an archaic society detaches himself from profane time and magically re-enters the Great Time, the sacred time’. Of course, the ‘sacred time’ Eliade is referring to is undeniably the potential match-up of Alistair Overeem vs. Brock Lesnar. Every time I think of Brock Lesnar, I keep gong back to Joe Rogan’s theory that Brock actually comes from a long lineage of vikings who just orgied and had sex throughout the generations to create one concentrated genetic badass that has the neck the size of that dude that broke Batman’s back. Lesnar’s neck is so thick scientists could drill for natural gas on that thing. That’s probably why this newly released poster of UFC 141 also doubles as a UFC heavyweight measuring stick.
