We take a look at Brock Lesnar’s illustrious UFC career and run back his last fight inside the UFC octagon
Brock Lesnar made his UFC debut back in 2008 as part of a rare one fight deal with the promotion. Lesnar would fight jiu-jitsu specialist Frank Mir at UFC 81 in an epic match fueled with a personal vengeance leading up the fight.
Lesnar had some initial success with his wrestling, taking Mir down at ease and demolishing him with ferocious ground and pound. The beast got too comfortable in Frank Mir’s guard and ended up getting submitted with a kneebar in the first round.
The WWE superstar was offered another fight in a bid to avenge his loss against Health Harring. Lesnar showed up with reformed skills and novel patience that earned him a unanimous decision victory. His next fight would be against the mixed martial arts veteran and legend Randy Couture for the heavyweight championship. He dismantled Couture, absolutely demolishing him and won the UFC crown, adding to his illustrious sporting career.
Lesnar would finally avenge his loss against Mir at UFC 100, when he beat him by TKO in the second round.
After returning back to the WWE and being away from the sport for so long, Lesnar would finally make his much-awaited return at UFC 200 to face the savage knockout artist Mark Hunt.
Lesnar utilized his superior wrestling skills to shut down any offense from Hunt, and won the fight by unanimous decision. However, the fight was since then overturned after he tested positive for clomiphene. Mark Hunt would end up battling the UFC in a lengthy lawsuit, which he eventually won.
