UFC 91: Couture vs Lesnar
Brock Lesnar became the second man to win the heavyweight championship
in his fourth fight in the UFC. He achieved this feat by beating 5-time
UFC champion and UFC Hall of Famer Randy "The Natural" Couture by TKO
on the 2nd round of the bout.
Considering that Lesnar had a weight, size and age advantage, I really
wanted Couture to win the fight and retain his heavyweight championship
belt. Couture was actually doing fine (and was sort of leading in my
personal score card) before he got hit by Lesnar on the left temple.
This setup Lesnar's vicious pounding while Couture was on the mat.
Kenny Florian beats Joe Stevenson by rear naked choke on the 1st round.
This makes Florian the number one contender to BJ Penn's lightweight
belt. Florian vs Penn would definitely be an interesting fight.
