5. Brock Lesnar survived the first round to beat Shane Carwin in an incredible game
Lesnar proved himself as an impressive champion when he defended his belt against the dangerous Shane Carwin on UFC 166.
After missing a considerable period because of his problems with diverticulitis, Lesnar returned to the Octagon for a title Unification Fight against the new interim champion.
With everything he had, Carwin Lesnar went in the first round in Lesnar, almost forcing the referee to end the fight.
'The Beast', however, managed to hold the five -minute timer to pass, which the battle has effectively decided there.

4. Frank Mir spoiled the UFC debut of Brock Lesnar with a victory over the impressive hunter
Lesnar got into the UFC Octagon for the first time in 2008, hoping to prove himself against one of the toughest champions in the history of the promotion.
The former WWE champion took on Frank Mir, a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and a man who had confronted all top names in his career and had defeated most of them.
Although he came from a professional wrestling background, Lesnar made an impression on Mir and dominated the opening minute of the competition, in a huge shock for the crowd.
Mir, however, skillfully caught him in a knee bar for only 90 seconds in the fight, which revealed Lesnar's inexperience to his UFC debut.
This forced Lesnar to tap, although he showed a glimpse of potential in an impressive MMA competition.
3. In his MMA debut, Brock Lesnar finished in just over a minute Min-soo Kim
A year before he made his debut in the UFC, Lesnar started his MMA debut for the K-1 Promotion.
After his career in the wrestling and football had finished, he went back to his fighting roots and used his amateur wrestling background to good use while standing against Min-soo Kim.
Lesnar was initially supposed to get Hongman Choi, the 7-foot-2 “Goliath” that shared the same 4XL glove size as a lesnar before injury forced him out of the fight.
His replacement was dominated by Lesnar, who only took 69 seconds to win a TKO victory in the South Korean hunter.
He quickly took him down and started a campaign from destructive punches to the skull, which were so bloody that he tapped before the referee could stop the fight.
2. Brock Lesnar defeated Randy Couture to become UFC Heavyweight Champion in only his fourth MMA fight
Lesnar defeated a legend of the Octagon to win his first and only title in the UFC when he fought against Randy Couture on UFC 91.
After he had lost MIR in their first collision, Lesnar took a victory over Heath Herring to have a chance at UFC Heavyweight Champion Couture in the main event on November 15, 2008.
Less than a year after his UFC debut, the former WWE star Couture brought him to the ground in the second round, and put a number of massive punches to earn a ground and pound of TKO victory.
This meant the beginning of Lesnar as a huge star and a huge draw in the company, although his next fight would be even more impressive.
1. Brock Lesnar defended the UFC heavyweight title in his rematch against Frank Mir
Lesnar threw his only UFC loss at that time by beating MIR in the long -awaited Rematch and confirming himself as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the UFC.
“The Beast” walked in UFC 100 as the champion, after his impressive victory over Couture the following year.
In the meantime, MIR took the interim -rim of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira on UFC 92, making this blockbuster -Rematch in the main event of the largest UFC event so far.
Lesnar brought Mir down early and hit him on the floor with some huge punches in the first round. The challenger managed to survive to the bell, but the second round turned out to be more of the same.
Halfway through the fight he succeeded in Mir between himself and the cage in Sandwichen, where the referee had to withdraw while Lesnar hit Mir's head in the cage with his fist, without protection against the incredible attack.
