It feels like UFC 116 once again.
UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is down absorbing a heavy dose of ground and pound from challenger Cain Velasquez.
Just when we thought that Lesnar could survive the onslaught so he could pull off another come from behind victory, Velasquez made sure that he’ll not gas out like Shane Carwin did.
He picked his spots intelligently to deliver accurate strikes. And at the 4:12 mark of round 1, referee Herb Dean finally stopped the carnage as the champ was bleeding profusely from a large gash below his left eye.
It sent shivers to my spine.
Of the most shocking UFC results in recent memory, personally, this one ranks right up there of the time when Shogun dropped Lyoto Machida at UFC 113 and when Rich Franklin knocked out The Iceman at UFC 115.
With his win, Cain Velasquez makes history as he becomes the first UFC Mexican champion in history!

Lesnar is not used to being hammered by his opponent, look at how he reacted when he was getting hit…. or Velasquez is just too good for him.

yeah man,, this is really test for cain velasquez, coz “cigano” is the specialist of any skill.. only cain cardio and power of punch is better than him..
i think this fight will be standing fight, toe to toe.. becoz them dont like ground game and of coz if somebody been takedown, they just spring back like a cat.. i cant wait to see this fight.

Only $200,000 for Cain Velasquez?
The fake James Toney earned $500,000 against Randy Couture in only 3 minutes of an embarrassing UFC vs boxing sideshow.
