Lesnar 0-1

Former heavyweight champion Frank Mir spoiled former NCAA wrestling champion and pro wrestler Brock Lesnar's UCF debut, grabbing Lesnar's leg and securing a kneebar that forced him to submit at 1:30 of the first round.

"I wasn't worried about the fight being stopped," Mir said. "I had Brock Lesnar dropping elbows on the top of my head, but I still came through with the submission."

Lesnar looked impressive early but was unable to overcome the more experienced ground game of the former champion.

"I came out trying to pressure Frank but he's a world class jui-jitsu guy," Lesnar said. "You win some, you lose some."
