Brock Lesnar, former UFC heavyweight champion, was defeated in the Octagon by Cain Valasquez, who is now the first Mexican to have the UFC Heavyweight belt.
“I don’t think anyone in the United States saw Cain winning in the first round with a knockout. I was afraid Lesnar was going to win, but I was surprised when I heard the news,” said sopohmore UFC fan Austin Zank.
With a final minute left in the first round, Lesnar might not have been thinking at all. Lesnar was defeated by Valasquez by TKO in the first round.
Valasquez weathered the 6ft 3, 265 pound storm of Brock Lesnar who shot for many takedowns and threw some solid punches early in the first round.
“Plain and simple, Cain deserved the win. He weathered Lesnars’ early flurry and then punched him until he was seeing tweetie birds,” said senior Robert Gerzik.
