Okay, here is one that really surprised me. Randy Couture was defeated by former WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar in a less than spectacular fight at UFC 91 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night.
In only his fourth MMA fight, Lesnar defeated one of the most decorated fighters in Hall of Famer Randy Couture in the second round. In fact, he made it look pretty easy. Randy was never really in the bout. He tried to muscle Lesnar and push him into the cage and just lay on him like he did with Tim Sylvia.
His game plan I guess was to tire Lesnar out when the fight got into the later rounds. It would never make it that far. Lesnar scored a takedown in the first as very little significant action occurred.
The second round was all Lesnar as he stunned Couture with an elbow and later dropped him with a looping punch to the temple. To me, it looked like a glancing blow but Randy went down like a sack of over aged potatoes. Lesnar jumped on top and pounded him out with some silly looking hammer fists that you would be more likely to see at your little sister’s slumber party than at an MMA.
My question for all you readers is this, do you think Brock Lesnar is good for the sport? A heavyweight champ after only 4 MMA fights. Should he even had a title shot at all? Frank Mir has got to be salivating as he prepares for his upcoming bout. Start working on your heel hooks and basic jiu-jitsu moves Frank, because it is likely that Brock will fall prey to one of those again…
