UFC 121 Results: Brock Lesnar Falls to New Champion Cain Velasquez

Ed Mulholland for ESPN.com

This was being billed by some as the greatest heavyweight fight ever in UFC history. The physical phenom in Brock Lesnar was betting his athleticism could overcome his relative inexperience. He was also betting it was too much for the challenger Cain Velasquez to handle - no matter the AKA product's gas tank, no matter his technical superiority.

And technical superiority it was. There wasn't even a mark on Velasquez's face.

While Lesnar was able to execute takedowns and even unload punishment of his own, this night belonged to Cain Velasquez. The idea that where Carwin fell off Cain could continue was true. Cain took his time to finish and that he did.

This is the first combat sports champion of Mexican origin in the heavyweight ranks.

The stoppage was fair. Lesnar turned his back, forcing the referee to stop the fight.

UPDATE [from Luke Thomas]: Here's how Brent Brookhouse called the fight:

Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez - Round 1 - Lesnar charges in and Cain is throwing hands and Lesnar with a knee.  Right hand by Lesnar. Cain firing punches and Lesnar with a big takedown but Cain gets back to his feet. Elbows to the side of the head by Cain. Brock has him pushed against the cage. Brock dropping down for a double leg and he gets it but Cain stands right back up. Cain manages to get away. Jab by Cain and they're trading hard.  Jab by Lesnar. Cain takes Brock down now and has is back. Lesnar stands back up. Lesnar misses a takedown and he's stumbing around. Cain hits him hard and Lesnar is hurt.  Cain is on top in side control. Cain landing big punches nows.  Cain with knee on belly and he's throwing punches. Lesnar is looking done here.  He gets up and eats punches and goes back down. Velasquez landing punches and the fight is stopped! Cain Velasquez wins by TKO (punches), round 1. INCREDIBLE! Velasquez just owned that entire fight.

I was pretty impressed with Cain the whole time picking his shots and having such good accuracy. He never gets over excited and screws up.

Brock on the other hand…well, I’ll just say he broke my heart.

He uses his power right

Look at Kelly Pavlik. “Don’t try to hit home runs, just get a good swing on the ball”. It’s proper striking and doesn’t over commit and expose yourself.

Its volume of punches. He does indeed have pillowfists, but what he also has is excellent handspeed for a HW, and can overwhelm a guy with superior punch volume. However, lets not get carried away, he hit Kongo with everything but the kitchen sink and Cheik looked like he had just been for a brisk jog after that fight. To say nothing of the fact that Cain couldnt last 10 seconds on his feet without getting rocked, somehwere JDS is watching that fight and laughing.

Um....

And you’ve just witnessed the future.

Brock fans were just duped by his size… Cain’s biggest advantages were his strategy as a thinker, not an emotional fighter… like one who rushes like a completely expected bull.

by bleve_ on Oct 24, 2010 1:41 AM EDT up reply actions  

oh really

JDS is more scared than anything because cain will set up his takedowns and grind him out. i wanted cain to win but i thought brock would kill him. he got up from takedowns from brock not just once but twice. cain showed he is truly the monster to be feared. he won’t fight that way with JDS.

He got up from immediately from both takedowns and brought brock up with him both times.

He took brock down.

He stuffed the rest of his takedowns.

He didnt let Brock just lean on him the entire fight and he dominated him on the ground.

Brock has better accolades won during a much easier time, from what I've heard.

So Cain’s lower accolades are equivalent to his if not actually better, given the competition he faced.

Brock has tons of potential

and was a legit heavyweight champion.

But… he seemed scared IMO because that couldn’t of been the game plan. Seemed like he got scurrrred and rushed. Brock needs some real sparring it would seem.

by bleve_ on Oct 24, 2010 1:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

Definitely agree on the legitimacy.

It feels kind of strange talking about potential in someone who most saw as a really dominant champion a short while ago. He was getting by on what he had for a while there, and it was enough to throw him into discussions about the best in the world. In most cases, he could probably continue to get by on what he has. So insofar as potential might be strictly about wins and losses, that will always be there.

As far as potential for growth goes, I suppose it largely comes down to a matter of striking. Others have already made some pretty good posts about that so I won’t waste any space. It’s sufficient to say I agree with the notion that some strong defensive gains are paramount.

by Brent Ducharme on Oct 24, 2010 2:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

Learning to take a punch takes years.

Add in the fact that Brock spent his entire life practicing a sport where taking a punch properly is not a concern and it should enlighten you. Brock may very well never learn to take a punch properly. He’s a 33 y/o man of massive proportions. His body may not be forgiving enough to afford him the chance to learn in a reasonable enough time frame. He very well could, but odds are he wont.

This is something I have been trying to explain for a long while.

Understand what you're saying

by Str8_right on Oct 24, 2010 3:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's my point

Cain has less than a year of experience on Brock. Brocks limitation is his striking. I have long said this. I doubt he will ever overcome it.

Honestly though, Brock needs to get with some boxers, fuck the boxing, let’s do 6 months of Lateral Movement, head movement…movement period. That and smoke some weed, wayyyy too hyper in the cage, he’s at his best when he’s methodical.

Thus the lateral movement, head movement, and movement…so he doesn’t get hit hard, flush. Doesn’t mean he won’t get caught, but cutting down on those openings are his only option.

Doesn't matter.

He will eventually get caught and fold. Learning how to properly take a punch is a skill. Unless he puts himself in a training environment where he is eating punches from guys who far outclass him he’s always going to fold. I don’t think he’s up to it. I think he will improve, but I don’t think he will ever reach his potential.

I know it’s never going to be brock’s plan to be on his back, but he really needs to spend a lot of time working there. Whenever he’s on his back he ends up in these terrible positions that I’ve never seen anyone else in. He just freaks and tries to get up instead of getting guard and getting up correctly.

Brock just totally quit and shut down. After he got beat up and then managed to stand, he cowered next to the cage with his hands down. Cain then dropped him and beat the hell out of him.

Velasquez/Carwin

I think Carwin/Velsaquez is a good match up. Providing Carwin can build up his cardio. It will probably happen after Carwin walks through the chubby one in Jan. Cain won’t want to get into a fist fight with Carwin and Carwin won’t want to go 5 rounds with Cain.

That, and Brock Lesnar does big PPV numbers, me likey that. Really though, Brock didn’t look horrible, but he A) Got too excited, same mistake from the 1st Mir fight and B) Still hasn’t got used to being hit by men his size at full capacity, taking a punch is an art form.

I thought he had a decent chance, but things were going exactly as I expected, with Brock getting the takedown and wearing Cain down on his back the whole first round. Except that Cain just stood right up with no trouble…and I was like OH SHIT!!! BROCK IS IN TROUBLE. I wasn’t rooting for either guy, but I was way wrong about Cain. I thought Brock would be fresh for the first two rounds and Cain would be struggling to survive underneath Brock for much of that time.

Disagree. Ubereem would smash them all. Woohooo ;)

Point taken, but...

…what are the chances that Overeem fights in the UFC in the next year? Zilch.

I wish selling physique was over,

but I can’t really imagine every casual, muscle-fetish Brock fan who tuned in to see Lesnar hulk-smash “some Mexican dude” into oblivion being immediately won over by Cain’s superior technique/gameplan. Which is unfortunate for MMA really.

Cain would wrestle Overeem to death

as much as I like the idea of a ripped, elite, knockout artist being the best heavyweight in the world shit doesn’t work like that.

Cain would get the TKO

Ubereem has better takedown defense than Kongo...

…and if memory serves me right, Kongo rocked Velasquez while BACKPEDALING on three different occasions. Ubereem may actually kill Velasquez.

Ubereem by KO.

I guess there always has to be a “Fedor”

by KingAtRock on Oct 24, 2010 2:36 AM EDT up reply actions  

It doesn’t matter who he has beat. Before the Lesnar fight, Velasquez beat an old Nog and looked pretty bad against Kongo. In that sense, most of these discussions are based off fan speculation.

It is simply my opinion that Ubereem, with his overall MMA experience, K-1 level striking, and new found size will ensure that he will beat Velasquez handily.

There. Let’s agree to disagree.

Cain punched with decent power and great precision and what we seen from Brock against Carwin was real, he is scared of fists.

i just think brock thought cain couldn't handle him

brock’s greatest power is his wrestling. why is he trying to get into striking exchanges with cain? brock thought he is way stronger than cain. he had the reach no way is cain going hurt him. cain showed he could get up from brock’s takedowns. that he could take brock down himself that was crazy. i didn’t think cain could take him down. cain took brock’s heart all the tools brock uses to win could not work against cain.

I’m one of Brock’s biggest fans, and this comparison will sound weird…but how he reacts to shots is eerily similar to Vinny Magalhaes. He just does everything wrong when he gets touched up. It’s shocking.

And even if you can,

He’s 33 and the Carwin fight was his first real experience where someone’s really thrown hands at him. It’s gonna be an uphill battle to learn how to both take a punch and improve your striking at his age and with his orientation towards grappling. Still, interesting to see where he goes from here.

Wow. My jaw hit the floor when Cain just popped up after a Brock takedown. It was like he didn’t care that he was in the cage with a certified monster.

This just goes to show – once again – that every unstoppable monster will get stopped eventually. Fedor ran into Werdum, GSP ran into Serra, Penn ran into Edgar, Machida ran into Shogun… Aldo and Silva are just waiting for the inevitable.
Heck, if I follow through on my own argument, we might see Daniel Ghita win the K-1 GP!
