By Dan Manley Nov 16, 2008

Brock Lesnar made history in his stunning 2nd round knockout of Randy Couture in the main event of UFC 91 in that "The Next Big Thing" is now the only man to have won the WWE (pro wrestling) and UFC (Ultimate Fighting) World Heavyweight Championships. The 2000 NCAA Wrestling Champion shocked Couture's hometown at the MGM Grand Arena in this victory for the championship, which UFC President Dana White called the biggest MMA fight of all time.

UFC 91 Results: Brock Lesnar Win, First to Hold WWE and UFC World Titles

Lesnar won the WWE Title in 2002 as a "rookie" in World Wrestling Entertainment. His rise to the top saw him crush legends Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair en route to a title victory over Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Lesnar's early WWE days were remarkable for his physical style and his on-air "agent" Paul Heyman's super-smart interviews to hype "The Next Big Thing."

MMA Newsdesk.Com editor Arturo Collozo Jr, who has dozens of articles posted today from Vegas, reported: "Lesnar got winded at the end of the 1st round and almost got caught by Couture in the same manner Brock made a mistake against Mir."

See video here. "In the second round, Couture busted Lesnar's eye and it appeared as though Lesnar was breathing very hard and was worried when he caught Couture with a perfectly placed shot in the temple and The Natural crumbled. Lesnar pounced on Couture in a scene reminiscint of the Lesnar vs Mir fight, and those punches tonight looked simply brutal. It was over. Brock Lesnar is the new UFC Champion."
