The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Brock Lesnar is a giant of a man.  Lets just get that piece of information out of the way right off the bat.  The guy stands 6'3'' and he has to cut weight just to make the 265 lb. weight limit for the Heavyweight division.  Brock is a four-time All-American, a two-time Big Ten champion, and he won the 2000 Heavyweight NCAA Division 1 National Championship in wrestling.  If you were to meet a person in a dark alley, Lesnar would probably be in your top 5 of people you would not want to see.  Even with all that;  his size, athleticism, and strength, he could not stop Cain Velasquez from taking his UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 121.

Lesnar tried to bull rush across the ring at the very start of the fight to catch Cain off guard but Velasquez used his superior footwork to stay out of danger.  Brock then shot in for a takedown and briefly had it until Cain worked back to his feet.  Lesnar tried again to take Velasquez to the mat but Cain was ready and used his Arizona State University honed wrestling to stifle the behemoth champion.  Once Brock couldn't take Cain down the fight was basically over.  Cain landed a few strikes that had Lesnar spinning and ducking out of harms way but Velasquez was relentless.  Brock was dropped but managed to get back up after absorbing some ground and pound.  His legs were still shaky when Cain dropped him again and pounded him out.  The referee was forced to step in and save Lesnar from a further beating.  Velasquez dominates Lesnar to become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion by first round TKO.  With the win, Cain becomes the first Mexican Heavyweight champion in combat history.  That includes both MMA and boxing.

To further illustrate the epic destruction of Brock Lesnar, here are the numbers from FightMetric.com.

Cain Velasquez versus Brock Lesnar by the numbers

Cain outstruck Brock 48 to 11.  31 of the strikes were power or significant punches.  That is one of the purest beatdowns you will see in the UFC.

Up next for the new champion will be a title fight against Junior Dos Santos.  Dos Santos is a Brazilian striker who trains with the Nogueira brothers out of Team Black House.
