ANAHEIM, Calif. – Cain Velasquez weathered an early storm from Brock Lesnar and proved why he has long been regarded as one of the top prospects in the sport, pounding Lesnar in a stunningly brutal and one-sided fight to win the UFC heavyweight championship at the Honda Center in the main event of UFC 121.
Velasquez hurt Lesnar with nearly every punch he threw and knocked him down several times. After the final knockdown, Velasquez pounded him with elbows and punches before referee Herb Dean stopped it at 1:40 of the first.
Lesnar roared out of his corner and threw a knee, but Velasquez answered with a hard combination that opened a small gash under Lesnar’s left eye. After they grappled briefly, Lesnar took Velasquez down hard.
Velasquez, though, was calm and worked back to his feet quickly. After one more Lesnar takedown, he bounced up and began letting his hands go. He battered the retreating Lesnar all over the ring, pummeling him with hard shots until Dean halted it.

Lesnar got a real beat-down.
This fellow must be a mean mother...shut your mouth! of a fighter. I think Lesnar’s golden years will be his late 30’s before a serious trip into senile dementia should begin. These guys take such a pounding that it is hard for me to watch.
I was hoping Lesnar would win. It is easy to root against someone with “Brown Pride” tattooed on their chest and has come out against the Arizona immigration law.
The new guy rejects the Latino thing but said he would go along if it helped sell the show.

Technique over power.I can’t believe Dana let the show end so soon....Brock brings in the cash.
