On Saturday November 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in front of a nearly sold-out crowd of 14,000+, UFC 91 saw 31-year-old former WWE champ Brock Lesnar rise to the top as the new UFC Champion, taking it in a round 2 TKO from 45-year-old Randy Couture.

This is only Lesnar's fourth MMA fight, coincidentally the same feat achieved by the man whose crown he took, "The Natural" Couture who 11 years earlier, when in his fourth MMA fight he topped Maurice Smith and claimed the title for himself.

Although most MMA fighters couldn't hope to even compete in the UFC after just a few fights, Lesnar is a unique case, with not only a WWE title under his belt, but an NCAA wrestling title a well.

To his credit, Couture was not only 11 years younger than his spry opponent, but also an inch shorter and 50 pounds lighter, plus he hadn't stepped into the octagon in 15 months.
