UFC 91 Results - Brock Lesnar stopped heavyweight champion Randy Couture in the second round of their UFC 91 fight on Saturday night. Lesnar earned a technical knockout when the referee stepped in as he kept punching after Couture went to the ground.
Lesnar becomes now the first man ever to win both the UFC and WWE Heavyweight Championships.
Lesnar is also a former NCAA Wrestling Champion. So he's got a college national title, a pro wrestling title, and the Ultimate Fight title. Not a bad collection for the farm boy from Webster,
South Dakota.
Lesnar won the WWE Title in 2002 when he was chosen to win the title from "The Rock," better known as modern day action adventure star Dwayne Johnson. Lesnar and his then on-air agent Paul Heyman were a memorable pair in WWE, with Heyman doublecrossing Lesnar in a storyline twist a few months later to cause Lesnar to lose the title to the 7 foot tall Big Show.
"It sounds really good," Lesnar said after being introduced as the new heavyweight champion. "I can't believe it.
"I just believe in hard work and it pays off."
Couture wasn't sure about his future after the bout.
"I still feel like I'm getting better as a fighter so we'll see," said Couture.
