11 Most Brutal Acts Of Revenge In MMA History
9. Lesnar Brutalises Mir
Brock Lesnar is a phenomenon.
Whether you love him or hate him, the hulking Lesnar is money. In the world of MMA or professional wrestling, people just can’t help but be magnetised by the presence of this freak athlete.
In his UFC debut, though, things didn’t go well for Lesnar. Despite dominating the opening moments of that UFC 81 bout, Lesnar was caught with a kneebar and forced to tap out.
Before and after this fight, Mir had mocked Brock’s professional wrestling background – much to the ire of the multiple-time WWE Champion – and continued to do so ahead of their hotly anticipated rematch at UFC 100.
You could see that Lesnar was seething at all of this and wanted nothing more than to pummel Mir. And that’s exactly what he did upon the two stepping into the octagon once more.
In that second fight, Brock got the second-round TKO victory and then proceeded to angrily get in Mir’s face as Lesnar celebrated his bloody revenge.
