Last week it was revealed that Brock Lesnar was returning to the UFC after a long hiatus and will fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200.
Lesnar debuted in the UFC in only his second professional mixed martial arts bout, but lost to Frank Mir by first round submission.
After an impressive win over Heath Herring, Lesnar was given a heavyweight title shot and defeated Randy Couture at UFC 91 to become the heavyweight champion.
In his first title defense, Lesnar fought a rematch with Frank Mir, but won this time, avenging his loss by TKOing Mir in the second round with brutal ground and pound:
Play-By-Play
Round 1
Lesnar refuses a touch of the gloves, and we’re underway. Lesnar lands a big inside leg kick and then follows with another. Once the distance is closed, Lesnar simply overpowers Mir to the mat. Lesnar uses the rape choke to pin Mir down briefly before freeing a leg into half guard. Lesnar can do little with the position, and after a minute, the boos start. Lesnar, though, then delivers a quick succession of punches to Mir’s head and then follows with another barrage. Mir can’t protect from the blows, and Lesnar delivers a couple dozen more in sporadic fashion. The shots are doing damage, and Lesnar mixes in a few punches to the midsection. Mir frees his head, and it’s already swollen pretty badly. Lesnar delivers a few hammerfists from his dominant position, and Mir looks to his corner for guidance. A cut has opened as Lesnar continues the assault. The bell sounds, and Lesnar simply overpowers Mir to take the first round on the MMAjunkie.com scorecard, 10-9.
Round 2: Mir throws a leg kick, and Lesnar easily throws him to the mat and then waits for him to get back up. Mir charges in with kicks and punches, and even throws in a jumping knee, but Lesnar throws him to the mat. Back in half guard, Lesnar pushes Mir into the side of the cage and continues his ground-and-pound assault. The crowd yells for a stand up even though Lesnar remains active. Mir rolls to his knees, and Lesnar continues a rapid-fire succession of blows that completely batter Mir. The referee jumps in to award the TKO victory for Lesnar.
