Brock Lesnar, only four fights into his mixed martial arts career, has won his first MMA heavyweight title.
Randy Couture the three-time heavyweight champ who was Lesnar's opponent, was at a disadvantage in terms of size, age and arguably, wrestling ability. However, he did have more experience than Brock which in many cases is the deciding factor in a fight. Lesnar made sure that experience alone would not be enough to defeat him.
In the first round, Lesnar was the first to strike as he landed some hard knees and pressed Couture against the cage where he proceeded to connect with a nice right inside. When they separated though, Couture landed a solid right hand. Lesnar continued the action with a take down. Randy escaped, got to his feet and grabbed Brock's leg and almost turned him over but Lesnar got on top of Couture and landed some solid punches. Randy Couture somehow wiggled out of another dangerous position, got to his feet, and went on the offensive. He landed some knees and the round ended with Couture fighting for a take down.
The second round began with The Natural, Randy Couture landing a powerful jab. Lesnar answered back with a devastating elbow that wobbled Couture. Randy wisely moved towards the fence which gave him a chance to recover and also catch Lesnar with a well placed knee to the face. Separation ensued and both Lesnar and Couture were connecting with some big shots. A take down attempt by Lesnar and several knees later, Brock dropped Couture with a powerful right. Lesnar then landed hammerfist after hammerfist and won the match by TKO. All Brock Lesnar could say after the match was, "I can't believe it. I can't believe it."
