With just 4 fights under his belt, the former WWE Star Brock Lesnar emerged as the new UFC Heavyweight Champion after taking down Randy Couture on Saturday at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Size and age really does matter in the fight. Brock Lesnar, just 31 years old, at 6’3″ outweighed Randy Couture by 45 lbs and weighs just about the  265 lbs limit. Couture on the other hand is much older at 45 years old.

Early in the second round, one of those strikes landed. Lesnar stepped in with a short but massive elbow, which wobbled Couture. The 45-year-old UFC legend’s experience moved the fight against the fence, where he seemed to recover.

As the round wore on, the fighters moved around the Octagon, picking their shots. The game seemed to suit Couture, who landed a right hand that cut Lesnar’s eye. Lesnar’s power proved the great equalizer, however, as a straight right collapsed Couture to the mat.

Referee Mario Yamasaki gave Couture a good deal of time to recover, but Lesnar’s follow-up hammerfists forced the stoppage at 3:07.

    Lesnar is just too HUGE for Couture!

  • zhabre

    first :) thanks for putting this vid up

  • RjMagic

    It is almost impossible to beat Brock Lesner. its going to take a beast. Randy put up a fight. hes still number in my eyes.

  • Scott

    Brock may be a huge S.O.B., but Randy sure as hell putted up a good fight. I think Randy is the first guy that ever drawed blood from Brock. They should get a rematch. If they do, Randy would probably win. Randy still is #1 to me. RANDY! RANDY! RANDY! Brock…BOOO!! lol.

  • rain man

    they should have a rematch i'll bet anything randy will win

  • wil

    Thanks for posting the fight!
    I think Randy could have worn Lesnar down,-
    Picking him apart piece by piece..
    Brock was breathing pretty hard just prior to Randys knock down from the fence.
    I really think a rematch would produce a different result…my 2 cents..

    Cheer.

    Lesnar shouldn't have even had a chance at the title yet (4 fights – WTF?). There are a lot of fighters better and more deserving than him. With a record of 3-1, none of his wins being very dramatic; he doesn't impress me at all. He is quick for his size – I'll give him that. Being 45 lbs heavier (at fight time it was probably more like 60lbs difference) 3 inches taller (I think) and 14 yrs younger than Courtore, Lesnar was getting beaten by him. With that much more advantage he should have devastated Coutore quick. His wrestling's pretty decent, but Coutore was beating him at that too. Anyway, Lesnar is mediocre at best. Btw, there should be a superheavy – weight division. There shouldn't be that big of a weight difference between fighters.

  • Marvelout

    He won. Get over and stop making excuses. Blah, blah, blah, rematch. Shut up.

  • Geoff

    The true test now is Antonio, his world class Jujisu remember Bob Sapp

  • fuck you

    this site is so stupid, they posted the winner on the headline….what about people who google search the fight to watch it for the FIRST time… you retards ruined it for me…fuck you

  • Cptn America

    He Won fair and square. He should be 4-0 in the UFC. The fight with Frank Mir was stopped unfairly IMHO. If you are punching someone in the face and they turn over its not your fault your fist hits them in the back of the head. The stopage allowed Mir to get a footlock or heelhook in and submit Lesnar.

    Bottom line is he is a heavyweight beast and is as fast as a 205er. Give him 12 months training submission defense and then prepare to watch him as champ for the next several years. Hes too powerful and too fast. Calling him mediocre is unfair… he just beat Couture, sorry, deal with it.

    I do agree with “B” about superheavy weight tho'

  • Unknown

    I really dont even think Lesnar should have got the championship fight yet this is only his third fight in the ufc and there r other people who have more skill and shit then him and deserved a chance.

  • juangordo

  • john

    hey B..you dont know anything about MMA History boy. Randy Couture got a title shot after 4 fights at UFC. Brock Lesnar is the 2nd guy to win a title after 4 fights. And stop making excuses. PLEASE! Brock won the fight FAIR and SQUARE. john is right. Brock Lesnar have this HUGE popularity. so stop commenting about Brock. he won the fight and the title. that's it. he's faster, younger and stronger. i still give my thumbs up to Randy Couture for bringing a good, decent fight.

  • dave

    imagine what the blows to Couture's head would have been like if Brock was getting fulls swings in?

  • jet

    if brock had full swing one punch wouldve KO;d randy..and brock hits alot harder than liddell
    liddell upseted dana white so now dana white is gonna kiss brocks ass until something bad happens which i dont see it happening….i'd like to see brock vs arovloski tho..

  • Luke

    Bock was nervous in the first round and easily absorbed Randys shots, the striking was even but Brock has much heavier hands, Brock was never in trouble, Randy did well to got back to his feet but he couldnt take brock down at all! Brock may have got cut but thats what spurred his into 5th gear to kick Randys ass! I love Randy but his time is up! All you Randy lovers had your head in the sand.
    See what Mir and other UFC fighters say about the fight on ESPN instead of reading these dumbass posts (exccept mine!) (-;

  • Edward LaFrance

    Lessner won and thats all there is to it. He would pound out any one who had the nads to stand infront of him. Think about it… LessnerHas only been in there three times and hascleaned house. So how are you going to say that Brock should not have the belt. And those of you who think that Randy would beat Brock in another fight are out of your minds. Randy has trained for years for this stuff and still could not pull it off. I have watched some big guys go down in this sport to guys that were much smaller. I think its time to put it to rest and maybe watch a sport that you actually have a clue about. (just my opinion)

  • Jammin

    oh yea… Lesnar v. Arlovski would be a killer fight! Arlovski, though still much lighter than Lesnar, would be closer in reach and he has way better stand up. It would be a brawl. Not taking away what either fighter did here, but Couture seemed to be scared to go toe to toe, but, then again… who wouldn't be?

  • lesnar=NO TALENT

    Why in the hell are they giving him a title shot after 3 fights? and why is everyone so hyped up about this no talent gigantic piece of shit? he couldnt make it on the vikings, then he goes to fake wrestling but he feels he cant be the true athlete he is so he moves to ufc where all he knows is…lets review all of his fights…oh yeah that’s it GROUND AND POUND. he goes for the take down (although in this fight he didn’t) then once he’s in his comfortable repetitive state of ground and pound he hammer fists the shit out of someone and then he earns the title? why cant anyone see that all his so called talent is ground and pound without any technicality whatsoever? he doesn’t earn the title at all. it should be taken away and given to someone who actually has worked hard for it. and if u would like to argue that he actually is a good fighter then lets take a step out of reality for a second and say lesnar is now 5′ 11 220…do u think he could use his bigness to earn him the belt now? no. all he has is that he’s really strong and good at take downs. it’s been proven when he fought frank mir, someone with a little technicality. he went out there like he always does with too much intensity because he was scared because he doesn’t know what he’s doing and once he has the take down that’s when he’s comfortable, only it didn’t work with frank mir and he got his ass tapped out. this is like watching a street fight where one of the fighters is so scared that all he’s going to do is keep throwing punches as many as possible and as fast as possible (there’s no talent in that, it just proves that the one throwing all those punches is going to do whatever it takes to try and get the knockout rather than taking it slow and being a able to take a few punches like a real man in a real fight can)…this is the ufc not a fuckin brawl. im not saying lesnar went out there doing nothing but throwing fists but it reminds me of someone in a fight who’s scared so all he does is throw out all of his intensity and aggressiveness as fast as possible so he can get out of this uncomfortable state of not knowing what he’s doing

  • G

    What can I say? Brock Lesnar does have the capability to win. Despite WWE being all drama, his winning UFC proves he's more than a fake muscle man.
