Brock Lesnar Retires from MMA . . .
The last UFC main event of the last MMA event of the year culminated into Alistair Overeem ‘s utter destruction of Brock Lesnar. After the first round stoppage, which showed Brock Lesnar ‘s very weak ability to take body punches, possibly due to several different causes and theories, Brock Lesnar retires from MMA.
Since it is official that Brock Lesnar retires from MMA, his final record will be 5-3. His last two fights have been first round TKO losses, to Cain Velasquez when he lost the title and to Alistair Overeem who ended his career. The fights were more than a year apart due to his chronic and recuring illness.
Before Brock Lesnar retires from MMA, Brock Lesnar got his start in MMA in 2007 when he fought Min-Soo Kim in the MMA event Dynamite!! USA where he submitted his opponent by strikes in the third round. After that the UFC signed him and put him into a fight with Frank Mir. The fight with Mir started well for him but Mir’s awesome Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and experience came through when he caught Brock Lesnar in a knee bar. Brock Lesnar learned from the experience and came back, winning the UFC heavy weight championship from Randy Couture and defending it twice, including revenge on Frank Mir and a sub of the night bonus for his fight with Shane Carwin.
If you live in Oklahoma City and would like to learn the same techniques that made Brock Lesnar a 3 time UFC champion before Brock Lesnar retires from MMA, come to Lovato’s School of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA. Take up the 30 Day Free Trial and get started today with a full free month!
As we remember his career as Brock Lesnar retires from MMA, we should all be thankful for our health and abilities.

Alistair Overeem TKO’s Brock Lesnar . . .
The year for the sport of MMA was capped off with a great night of fights in the UFC event, UFC 141. The main event was a highly anticipated bout between Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem.
Alistair Overeem has K-1 level striking, some say, he even has the best striking in the heavy weight division. He came into the fight on a 10 fight win streak with 15 knock outs in his career. Brock Lesnar had much less fights and was coming off of a serious intestinal illness, but much more UFC experience, (which was shown to be an important factor in the Mayhem vs Bisping fight earlier this year) being a former champion.
The fight went as many expected, with Brock Lesnar unable to get Alistair Overeem to the ground and Alistair Overeem was able to land his own strikes that damaged Lesnar badly. His strikes focused more on the abdomen of Brock Lesnar, challenging the area that had just recovered from diverticulitis. After a few knees, Alistair Overeem landed a sick liver kick and Brock Lesnar crumpled against the cage and then down to the ground. The fight was stopped after a few follow up punches, and now Alistair Overeem is now the number one contender and next in line for the title shot.
If you would like to learn the same techniques as used by Alistair Overeem to destroy Brock Lesnar at UFC 141, come to Lovato’s School of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA. Take up our 30 Day Free Trial and get started today!
Congrats to Alistair Overeem on his first UFC win against Brock Lesnar.

His only losses come from former UFC heavy weight champions, Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez and he has already avenged his loss to Frank Mir. Brock Lesnar has been plagued with illness and is making his return to the ring at his matchup between Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem.
