Overeem Skeptical About Brock Lesnar, Mike Tyson On If He Could Take Ronda Rousey, UFC 185 Weigh Ins

- While Laila Ali may think she can beat UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey, but Mike Tyson isn't as confident in his own abilities. In response to Manny Pacquiao saying Rousey could defeat Floyd Mayweather in an MMA fight, Tyson offered his thoughts on Huffington Post Live.

"Sh-t, Ronda Rousey might kick my ass," Tyson said. "That 14 seconds the last fight, man, you got to take that seriously."

- Despite originally suggesting former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar would return, UFC 185's Alistair Overeem has seemed to change his tune on the matter.

"He's not going to come back," Overeem said at at UFC 185's media day. "In the beginning it was easy, but at the end it was very hard for him. He is a guy that kind of goes where it's easy. It's too hard. The competition is too stiff."

Overeem defeated Lesnar in Brock's last UFC bout in 2011. Several months later, Overeem failed a random drug test for performance enhancing drugs.
