Brock Lesnar is the UFC Heavyweight Champ

Yes, I did eat my humble pie after watching Randy Couture get beat in the second round last weekend. The underdog did not pull through this time, though for a certain time, he seemed like he had things going according to his plan, which is to keep Brock tied up in the corner. Turns out, there's more to that than just keeping that freak in the corner.

So, now what? Brock is the man, duplicating what Randy Couture did earlier in his career: win a championship by his fourth MMA fight. Randy did the same in 1997. It seems like a passing of the torch considering how everyone mentioned that Couture would be moving down again to Light Heavyweights and how much talent the Heavyweight division has right now which are very young. I'm not sure, but I'll bet that Brock vs. Couture 2 would come down the line sometime next year.
