Brock Lesner UFC Heavyweight Champion

From being a very successful amateur wrestler, to a very successful professional wrestler to decent American Football player to finally arriving at the UFC, it’s been a long road for the genetic freak that they call Brock Lesner, with many and continuing roadblocks. There’s no denying that he’s a monster but unlike Tim Sylvia, Hong Man Choi and Bob Sapp. Brock Lesner can actually move, applying his power in the most effective way possible. In his debut match against the former heavyweight champion Frank Mir, he was only beaten by his inexperience and with each and every bout leading to the rematch. He’s been looking more and more dangerous as he gained confidence and knowledge; with only four fights on his record he was headlining the biggest event in the history of MMA in America UFC 100. Showing a renewed fighting spirit he took out Frank Mir in his favourite position, using some innovative ground positioning to win the fight. As much as his critics wish desperately that he’ll lose the belt, there no question that Brock Lesner would be champion for a long time. What Happened?
