UFC 141 marked the retirement of one of the biggest names in sports entertainment. Overeem beat Brock Lesnar with a first round technical knockout; Brock shocked the world as he announced that he was retiring from ultimate fighting.
“I’ve had a really difficult couple years with my disease,” Lesnar said after the fight. “And I’m officially going to say this is the last time you’ll see me in the octagon.”
Lesnar added that he had promised his wife, former WWE Diva Sable, and his kid that if he won the fight, he would get a title shot and that would be his last fight. If he lost, as he did, he would retire.
