THE RESULT: NEW UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION Brock Lesnar via RD2 (3:07) TKO
Joe Rogan is with Brock Lesnar. Lesnar says it sounds great to be the champion. He thanks Dana, the UFC and Randy Couture. He has balls to take a year off and come back to fight him and he completely respects him. Lesnar says he believes in hard work and when you do that it pays off. He may be a cocky SOB, but he is confident. The lord gave him the body and mind to do this and he just used the tools.
Joe is now with Couture. He says that those were some big ass ham hocks coming at him when he was on the ground. He thanks Vegas and then thanks his team at Xtreme Couture that helped him to train for Brock. He's a big son of a bitch, that's all there is to say. Rogan asks him about his future, and he says he got caught, but is getting better and will go home and think things over. He didn't feel rusty, he got caught by the big guy and lost.
