In what many in the MMA world consider an upset Brock Lesnar defeated UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Courture by TKO in 3:07 of Round 2 to win the title to resounding "boos" from the UFC fans.

It will be interesting to see where Brock goes from here, many people thought he'd be exposed in this fight but he proved his critics wrong by winning rather convincingly over the once dominant champion Randy Courture.
