rock Lesnar By TKO – First Mexican American MMA Champ
Nearly 20,000 Ultimate Fighting Championship fans showed up Saturday night to the Honda Center hoping to celebrate a historic victory. Cain Velasquez did not disappoint.
Touted as a can’t-miss prospect almost from the first day he entered the sport of mixed martial arts, Velasquez fulfilled those high expectations at UFC 121. In front of a sold-out crowd, many of whom were proudly waving Mexican flags, Velasquez became the first Mexican-American to win a heavyweight title in either boxing or MMA, pounding defending champion Brock Lesnar into the mat before referee Herb Dean stopped the contest at 4:12 of the opening round.
A crowd that reached deafening noise levels when Velasquez (9-0) entered the arena somehow turned the volume up even more when the match was haulted and Velasquez had his hand raised.
“I expected him to come out and try to take me down. We prepared for every scenario,” said Velasquez, showing more emotion as the belt was put around his waist than he almost ever has in UFC’s octagon.
Lesnar (5-2) was humble in defeat.
“I expected nothing less. He’s a great fighter,” said Lesnar.
“What can I say? He was better than me tonight.”
The two opened with a titanic exchange of fists and knees as Lesnar came out charging, looking to take down Velasquez. The challenger — an All-American wrestler in college — did what no opponent yet was able to do: prevent the former NCAA wrestling champion from dominating on the mat.
Velasquez (who came into the fight at 240 pounds) fought off the 264-pound Lesnar and turned the fight in his favour for good once he started to land with some shots to Lesnar’s chin. The champion was soon cut under his left eye, although the worst was yet to come.
Velasquez knocked Lesnar so loopy with one attack, it actually spun him 360 degrees. Velasquez pounced on a fallen Lesnar, who survived the first onslaught on the mat but couldn’t keep Velasquez at bay much longer. He refused to let Lesnar regain his composure, pounding him until the finish.

Throwing two angry people in a cage to fight is not Martial Arts. If that is the case, gang violence would be considered martial arts as well, but it is not, neither has anything to do with martial arts, it is just violence.
