[ob111]

for the people that missed the fight
brock finally got the whole crowd cheering
he lost and announced he is retiring :tehe:

[kiryjuan]

Is time to go!

[bdc]

He really should retire . It was pretty clear he doesn't have the skills to compete with the big boys of MMA....

[zoogor]

i never liked brock but to say he cant hang with the big boys is a bit much. he was champ.

[burnsy]

I didn't really like Brock either and said the same he didn't have the skill but I think his record speaks for it self just look at the fighters he beat these were all the big names his losses with the exception of Cain were at the hands of far less skilled fighters then the ones he defeated

[zoogor]

i think he was supposed to lose. you'll see him in wwe real soon i think

[hoopty]

was thinking the same thing. wouldnt mind seeing him back in the wwe. sounds good.

[bobkoke]

what a joke that fight was.
The one before it was a fight.

[ob111]

I think his record speaks for it self

his record is 5 3 0. thats not a good record and it shows he was handed the belt from dana.
what other champ has a low record like that
he never fought his way up the ranks\
how long did GSP ask for a title shot

I never liked him but He earned respect in retiring
I hope he dosent try to screw up hockey now

[burnsy]

I agree he was moved to the top too quick but that was not him that was the UFC top dogs and his record short as it is, is impressive I hope your not thinking Corwin,Mir and Randy took dives this isn't WWE his first fight against Mir was his second fight LOL

Was this the first time that Brock fought someone his own weight?? Seems to me Couture is a much smaller man.. All it took was two shots to the liver, and they didnt look like they were very hard shots and Brock pulled a BJ Penn.. I'm taking my ball home and were not playing anymore..ROFLMAO

[kenkell1]

Brock simply cannot take a hit. He never belonged in the UFC from day one and was about time he threw in the towel.
He was once again schooled big time and looked like an idiot.

the official word:

Brock Lesnar retires from MMA after 1st-round loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141

c/p AP

LAS VEGAS — Brock Lesnar took one last kick to his stomach and crumpled at the side of the cage, unable to fight back when Alistair Overeem pounced.

Lesnar had been finished by a 6-foot-5 Dutch kick boxer in the first round at UFC 141. A few minutes later, the UFC’s former heavyweight champion finished his own meteoric mixed martial arts career.

Lesnar retired from the UFC after Overeem stopped him with one vicious kick to the body at 2:26 of the first round in their heavyweight bout Friday night, leaving the UFC heading into 2012 without its biggest pay-per-view star.

“This is the last time you’ll see me in the octagon,” Lesnar said.

Largely thanks to his fame from a career in pro wrestling, the hulking Lesnar (5-3) played a significant role in expanding the UFC’s profile and fan base over the past four years. He beat Randy Couture in 2008 to win the heavyweight title, defending it twice before losing the belt to Cain Velasquez last year.

But Lesnar has fought just three times in the past 2 1/2 years while dealing with bouts of a lower-intestinal ailment that nearly killed him. The accumulation of pain and rehabilitation finally undid Lesnar, whose famed strength and stubbornness couldn’t overcome diverticulitis.

“I’ve had a really difficult couple of years with my disease, and I’m going to officially say tonight is the last time,” Lesnar said.

Lesnar’s return from a 14-month injury absence was a short, one-sided beating. After taking damage from two knee blows early on, he couldn’t recover from a kick to the liver from Overeem (36-11), who made a stellar UFC debut despite getting cut near his right eye by a punch from Lesnar.

The 34-year-old Lesnar’s announcement stunned fans who already realized he faced a difficult matchup in the UFC’s traditional end-of-the-year event in its hometown. The matchup was a classic MMA clash of styles, with Lesnar’s brute wrestling contrasting sharply with Overeem’s vicious striking.

“I had no idea he would do that, (but) am I surprised? No,” UFC President Dana White said. “Brock Lesnar has made a lot of money in his career and has achieved a lot of things. ... He brought a lot of excitement to the heavyweight division. What he accomplished in a short amount of time is amazing, but I get it. It doesn’t shock me.”

Overeem is three years younger but much more experienced than Lesnar, hurting the former champion at least twice earlier in the round while Lesnar failed in his attempt at a one-legged takedown.

“I promised my wife and my kids if I won this fight, I would get a title shot, and that would be my last fight,” Lesnar said. “But if I lost tonight ... you’ve been great.”

Overeem will get the next shot at UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos, who watched from a seat near the octagon.

Overeem is a champion kick boxer who has fought in multiple promotions over the past decade, winning titles in Dream and Strikeforce with nearly unbeatable striking and size. He joined the UFC in September, finally presenting his formidable skills and intimidating physique to the sport’s largest audience.

He did beat Mir & Carwin, that had to count for something.

[lonster1]

like him or not, he was entertaining to see.

I sure wouldn't want to be in front of that freight train....lol

[MoMoneyMoHoney]

Yea, he also brought the attention to MMA/UFC. :yes:

[hawk2]

I certainly wouldn't miss any of his fights but I was always for his opponents

[MatrixMario]

cheers to the most overrated mma fighter :yes: liked him better in wwe cause at least we got to see him once a week

[tekkone]

I don't think he should have retired. He joined the UFC fighting the best they had in the division when he only had 1 or two fights as a professional mma fighter. I think he still could have improved. I enjoyed watching his fights even though I couldn't stand him.
