Brock Lesnar stops Randy (The Natural) Couture via TKO at UFC 91

Couture held his own for a round and a half , even bloodying Lesnars eye but just couldn`t hang with the beast. Couture at one point looked like he was going to pick up Brock , It seemed to me like such an unnatural sight as Brock sort of got lifted , one leg in the air and arms and shoulders up like he was gonna go , and then NO..Leg down , Couture couldn`t pull it off.
I noticed that Brocks head doesn`t move even when his body jigs back and forth coming forward for a strike , I was thinking Couture might be able to exploit that but he didn`t get the chance. I think Couture was stung twice before being knocked out. He took a shot from Lesnar , shook it off and belatedly his leg bucked but he recouped real quick , it was right around then that he returned the favor by bloodying Lesnars eye. He also looked like he got hit good with a knee , a little bit before the glancing Ham Hock of a fist against his ear put him down. Brock still doesn`t really know what to do with a guy on the ground but I guest slamming his Lunch Box sized fists , hammer fist style repeatedly on someones head is a fair submission move for a guy of his stature.

I love Couture , he has helped make this sport and had some exciting fights , but Lesnar just seems so much more dynamic and exciting , watching him grow in this sport. Many Couture fights were greco-roman clinches which isn`t very exciting. I look forward to future fights of both , Bring on Fedor.
