The big man took it…Brock Lesnar, in his fourth professional mixed martial arts fight, won the UFC Heavyweight Title from Randy Couture.  The last person to win the UFC Heavyweight Title in his fourth fight was none other than The Natural himself.  The fight itself was not terribly technical.  Lesnar wobbled Couture with a big right hand that knocked him down, then used those ham-hocks that he calls fists to pound on Randy’s head until the fight was stopped.

In other fight news, Demian Maia pulled out a slick submission win over Nate Quarry, and Kenny Florian did likewise to Joe Stevenson.  Both fights finished with rear-naked chokes.  Florian now gets to fight B.J. Penn for the Lightweight Title.  This will be a great fight, albeit with two fighters that I do not care much for.  While I respect their technical ability, both fighters are somewhat pompous in their behaviour outside the ring.  Especially B.J.

The UFC showed all nine fights on the Pay Per View, which I think is a record.  However, this card was unusual in that the five fights that were on the main card all ended fairly quickly.  It is a rarity but it does happen.
