VIDEO | Brock Lesnar gets dominated by Goldberg in one minute at WWE Survivor Series

Tom Taylor - November 21, 2016

Yeah, we know, pro wrestling isn’t real. But Brock Lesnar is a former UFC heavyweight champion, and when he gets dominated in just over a minute by a 49 year old, we’re going to talk about it – whether it’s real or not. That’s precisely what happened on Sunday night, when Lesnar stepped into the WWE ring with Bill Goldberg. Moments into the match, Goldberg knocked the former UFC champ to the mat. As a bewildered Lesnar returned to his feet, Goldberg speared him back down onto the canvas. Then came a second spear, and a Jackhammer for the win. It was a downright domination, and it all went down in less time than it takes to warm up a Hot Pocket.

Tom Taylor - October 30, 2016

As the UFC’s 200th pay-per-view card, UFC 200 was always supposed to be stacked to the rim with talent. Unfortunately, the landmark card was ceaselessly battered by injuries, PED-busts and more, leaving the UFC scrambling to keep the its lineup in tact until it finally occured on July 9 of this year. One of the organization’s key efforts to assure UFC 200 was up to snuff in spite of the many blows its was dealt was their signing of former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. Lesnar, who won the title from Randy Couture in 2008 and surrendered it to Cain Velasquez in 2010, has spent the last few years competing as a pro wrestler for WWE. Despite being under contract with this organization, he was allowed to compete in a “one-off” return to the Octagon in UFC 200’s co-main event, where he took on Brick fisted Kiwi Mark Hunt.

Brock Lesnar's Legal Team Point to Eye Medication, Foot Cream as Cause of Drug Test Failure

Tom Taylor - October 14, 2016

Last July, in the co-main event of UFC 200, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made a successful return to the Octagon with a unanimous decision defeat of Mark Hunt. Given that Hunt has long stood out as one of the UFC’s 10-best heavyweights, and that Lesnar had not competed in mixed martial arts almost five years, this was a pretty impressive feat. Regrettably, it was later announced that Lesnar had failed both in-competition and out-of-competition drug tests. The former champ popped for the substance clomiphene, an estrogen blocker often used to counterbalance the testosterone boost caused by steroid use. This unfortunate twist stamped a big, ugly asterisk beside his defeat of Hunt.
