Brock Lesnar retired from mixed martial arts after Alistair Overeem stopped him with one vicious kick to the body in the first round of their heavyweight bout at UFC 141 on Friday night.

Lesnar is the UFC's biggest pay-per-view star and the former heavyweight champion, but his return from a 14-month injury absence ended with Lesnar staggering and crumpling against the cage. He couldn't recover from a kick from Overeem (36-11), the 6-foot-5 Dutch kickboxing star making his UFC debut.

Lesnar (5-3) is a former NCAA champion wrestler and pro-wrestling star who rose swiftly to the top of MMA. But he has fought just three times in the past 2½ years while dealing with bouts of diverticulitis, a lower-intestinal ailment that nearly killed him.

Couldn't take any hits, could have been really good had he gone straight to MMA after wrestling at Minnesota IMO.

Damn Dana must be choked lol. He had a good but brief fighting career. He accomplished a lot in a very short period of time. The Reem is a monster though.

That doesnt make any sense..... lol. Im playin.

Damn I didnt think he would retire so soon. I think he still had some fight in him, but he had no stamina whatsoever. He needed to pace himself to be more successful.

Is still one bad ass dude. My favorite fighters are now retired or dead. Evan Tanner RIP, BJ and Brock both done.


Jon Jones is still in his prime thankfully and unstoppable.
