I actually asked a question on this just recently... I think alistaire no doubt has better striking then brock, I think brock understands that he really needs to improve this aspect of his game and we probably might see a huge improvement in his striking during this match but I doubt it is even remotely close to overeems.
I think when it comes down to it although It feels really odd betting against Overeem I mean he is a K1 champian and held 3 consecutive belts but I really think better wrestling pretty much always outcompetes striking. Take a look at what happens with GSP, Rashad Evans when he went against Thiago Silva, Brock Lesnar against Shane Carwin. Cain Velasquez especially. Unless the striker can defend a take down well to be able be able to keep it standing, its gonna be pretty hard to manage a win. Especially with a wrestler like Brock who managed to take everyone down he's so far faced. Alistair does have ground game but I'm not sure if it will be good enough and alistaire can handle brock on top. I think IF overeem manages to defend the take down by brock he will likely win by a knee rather than a punch but I can't see this happening.
Brock to win

alistair easy. Brock gets rocked the whole fight and then has to submit his opponent to win. Unless brock catches him some how then takes it to the ground brock is gonna b a punching bag.
