“Shane is ok here”.
4 seconds later: “IT IS ALL OVER”
😂😂😂😂
@@azerkurtulus9747 well this is gonna aged out well.
He was OK you can see the exact moments Lesnar moved to a better position and Shane didn't move with him and the choke gets deeper.
@@HonkeyKong54 happy new year 2023, Honks717. 🙏 Sorry a little late man.
😂
Brock Lesnar had a relatively short career in MMA, but there is no denying what a legend he is. Thanks for the memories, Brock, in both UFC and WWE.
Carwin was lucky Lesnar didn't take him to suplex city
He wasn't very good
@@LunaticKing-fj3hp He only faced top contenders and he beat the best. His only two losses are to ATGs which was after he nearly died to diverticulitis. He was very good
legend? lol
And NCAA
I've grown to appreciate Lesnar's UFC career. With only one MMA fight under his belt, he signed with the highest level of MMA competition UFC and debuted against their former heavyweight champion. In just a few fights defeated one of the greatest heavyweights ever Couture for the championship and defended it twice against Mir and the undefeated Carwin. Remember he began his MMA career at the age of 30 and jumped straight into the deep end
"Jumped straight into the deep end" is a weird way of saying "was granted opportunities for next to nothing that other fighters had to actually earn"
If he had to get 8 fights under his belt, like Mir or Valasquez did before getting a title shot, there's no chance he comes out of those 8 fights with a 7-1 or 8-0 record like those guys did.
@@zesteecheezefair enough point but i think he was granted the opportunities becuz he already established such a big name for himself not just in the WWE but his amateur wrestling background itd be another thing if he was just a celebrity who was put in the same position, then u could say it was completely unearned
@@papichulo8749not to mention he visible earned his accolades in front of our eyes.
@@zesteecheeze Brock probably asked Dana for title shot after 1 win , hard to deny him the shot , he literally could just walk away
@@zachrush666 and? I wish he had walked away, or that Dana was a fair boss. Dana favoring certain fighters is why I stopped watching UFC
the fact that brock managed to tank carwin's punches to the point that carwin got tired before brock got knocked out is absolutely incredible. can you imagine what is going through carwin's mind, a guy who could very easily knock out most people with one well placed punch, he pummelled lesnar for a solid minute, and then he stands up. thats some horror movie shit
The ref was on lesnars side.
The Brock Lesnar meat riding is crazy
@@johnm3907 what? brock was still good, if your not knocked out cold the fight should keep going
@@johnm3907 the ref was right.
@@kenmasters2025 i disagree.
This is a pure example of Never give up shown by Brock. Legendary.
An example of a loose ref. I've seen fights called for way less than what happened here. But it was a championship fight so it would go until someone died or KOd.
@@chadd587 I disagree chad, but I respect your opinion.
I'm not one of these mma fans who shit on everything Brock Lesnar......But, if that would've been any other mma fighter it would have ended in a stoppage.
@@chadd587 brock blocked well bro, that's why it's not stopped
Brock legendaris..🥰🥰
How Lesnar was able to stand up after 2 minutes of pure beating (where I thought it was over after 10 seconds), is truly insane!
lol, no
@@Fedorevsky lol, yes
He just wait the effect of steroids 😂 😂
An escape route after sheer desperation will make a cripple man walk.
Can't tell you how many times I had my ass handed to me in BJJ, only to come back after the other party tired them self out and got the submission. It's that fraction of hope, it does things! You see the light, and run for the hills!
He's built different that's how
Brock Lesnar is a once in a lifetime athlete. A WWE wrestler transitioning this smoothly into real world class fighting is under appreciated. Who knows what he could have been with an earlier beginning.
also was also a pro football player in NFL
Umm...he did. He has a very strong wrestling background
I mean it's not since wwe and mma are the same thing
I’m sorry but why you act like WWE is fake or something 🤔
@@koaboyy Well he failed to make the NFL, but he tried out.
What a fight - unbelievable how Lesnar came back from that vicious attack. Truly is the beast incarnate
Man, Brock showed so much heart in this fight. He showed how tough he was. Most people couldn't take one hot from Shane. Let alone 50+ and still win the fight. Insane.
umm.... there are rumors going around that he takes steroids, and steroids is basically a drug that kinda makes people crazy strong and much more angry, so if that's the case then that's why brock was able to keep going
@@nocontext400 You have no idea what steroids do
@@MusicGuyFK let's see about that
@@MusicGuyFK steroid side effects: increased appetite - which may lead to weight gain if you find it difficult to control what you eat.
acne.
rapid mood swings and mood changes - becoming aggressive, irritable and short-tempered with people.
thin skin that bruises easily.
muscle weakness.
delayed wound healing.
and this is from google so.... shush
@@MusicGuyFK i said it before looking it up btw
the moment brock realizes the fans finally accept him as their champion with cheers instead of boos (which he normally got ) was a priceless moment and a priceless reaction from Brock
This comment section has me feeling old, cuz I still immediately think of all the major hate Brock got at first, me included. Unlike so many athletes from other sports that come to MMA, Brock put the work in and proved himself. A legitimate titan who EARNED the respect.
@@zencomeseasy602 Brock worked HARD to be with the top. He never got punched in fights before that were meant to deal damage and his career is amazing to look back on when you realize he didn’t do mma at all before this (just pro/college/HS wrestling).
@@ItsReplayBroI’m pretty sure Brock trained for like 6 months before his first match where most guys have years of training. He obviously had the wrestling down but still that’s insane to have little to no training compared to guys who have done this practically their entire life. If Brock went straight into ufc instead of like 13 years of wwe I’d be willing to bet he would have been dominant as fuck
@@Raumes513 he was only in WWE for four years. The first two in developmental (OVW)
Thumbs up by going from entertainment wrestling to UFC Champ ...... gained a ton of respect for himself and simultaneously the wrestling entertainment world.
Imagine if brock deliver F5 and supelex 😂😂😂
What a lot of folks don't realize is that when Lesnar was on the ground, he was telling the ref, "I'm good, I'm good" which let the ref know he was still in it.
Fighter also get knocked out cold and get up and question why the fight was stopped the ref isn’t there to ask if he’s okay he’s there to prevent them from killing each other and 9 times out of 10 a fighter will lie or keep going despite there physical shape they’re willing to die in the cage it’s the ref’s job to stop it before any real damage can be done this is a recipe for cte 😭
Very few fighters had this much of an impact in the UFC in such a short career like Brock. The guy brought electricity to every match.

Did you just copy one of the top comments 😂
One of the best/ most respectful CZcams threads I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Its amazing how Brock actually accomplished being a UFC heavy weight champion. Like no one comes over from WWE and does that. I give a lot of respect to Brock for that. He was making a shit load of money in WWE and wanted to test himself. Thats a bad dude.
He'd go back to WWE too making even more money and is super self sufficient being completely DIY lifestyle. Such a genetic freak, imagine if he started MMA only after 3 years in WWE (that experience in front of a crowd helps I'm sure)
Ummmm CM Punk...? He went his entire career in the ufc with only 2 (very close) losses... ha
Love or hate him, he's one scary dude. Respect!
A lot of Japanese pro wrestlers in the late 90s were the best MMA fighters in the world
Brock was 50% steroids and 50% skills but yeah crazy performances
I was 8th grade when this fight happened..I can remember this night like it was yesterday. Crazy how time goes by.

The smile between the two at the end of round 1 is something beautiful. Two beasts that just spent 3 minutes trying to kill each other just enjoying the moment and their sport. Wow
Brock took an incredible amount of damage... this is when i 1st realized how tough brock is... watching this live was amazing...Nobody else could have taken that many hits from Carwin.
Back when heavyweight was almost super heavyweight and the man who was really the first ever prime time needle mover of the ufc... props to ref to allow the match to continue and props for an insane comeback by Brock and also just after beating deathbed due to diverticulitis..inspiring match and era
These two moved a few needles alright
Yeah, I hate the early stoppages we get now. 2-3 punches when someones down and they call it.
Not true they were the exceptions of what people thought HW was going to be.
That’s Josh Rosenthal and is maybe the best MMA ref still.
The UFC doesn’t use him because he was arrested for weed dealing

A perfect example of never give up. Legends fight
Well done Brock Lesner
You don't think the ref should have called it like when he started bleeding from the pounding

Would be a horrible stoppage. Throwing horrible gnp. Maybe if he would have thrown 5 good ones instead of 100 shitty ones
@@oldironsides4107 nah douglas is right even mario Yamasaki would have called it. Rosenthal bet some of his weed money on brock obviously

D1 champ vs D2 champ, largest hands in the UFC vs the 2nd largest hands, what an awesome matchup.
Also, boy do I miss the colorful trunks.
Shane hit him so often that he was tired and Brock took some really hard hits. It's insane that Brock could handle all of them so well. He can take so much.
Yup Brock knew Shane was emptying the tank to try and finish all he had to do was survive the onslaught and wait for Shane to gas out

That is an absolutely ungodly come back. Truly unbelievable. Can't believe it was 13 years ago.
Crazy that Brock had no mma training prior to the ufc and came from the wwe. That’s why Brock’s striking looked stiffer than most but once it got to the ground he flowed like butter.

Seems just like yesterday I agree!
It would be godly in this case
It was a dodgy fight. It should have been stopped carwin embarrassed him
Never give up and this is the perfect example
Hmm...how about a takedown?

This was back when the HW division used to be the most popular because of all the fights being car crashes that barely left the first round

This fight is my answer to people saying Brock never was a real fighter! He stormed the weather and smiled with a bloody face!
8:30 Brock’s bicep was like a giant anaconda around his neck, I thought Shane’s eyeballs were gonna pop out ! Thank you ref for not stopping fight, I thought he would at any second, those blows would’ve killed me !
Honestly still for me one of the greatest UFC fights ever. Brock had the presence. Watching now after all these years still gives me chills. Two absolute hulks of humans going at each other full throttle. With a pure power and strength come back at the end. Chills and emotion off the charts!
Hardly.
Are you serious ? that's terrible, the biggest names in HW were so bad technically in this time.. That's a total mess, how could you think that's of the greatest fight ever..I mean ok that's your opinion but i don't get it. Lesnar is probably just the worst HW champ ever.. even if he was charged AF. And his striking is so lame, damn.. big muscles but 0 power when he throws.. he only had great wrestling that's all.. Am not a hater btw ; that's just a shitty fight and fighter tbh..
@@Le_Fullmetal yeh he has less experience inside the ring. He barely fighted 4-5 matches that time. But in that time he kick those best on list HW sssses. He lacks experience only, otherwise but still wins. Technically he was poor but functionally he was better than whole ufc. Means in body power, stamina, speed. And with those things only this guy become the HW champion of world. That ain't no small thing dude. That's like a random guy like u becoming the HW champion
What exactly did Brock do 🤔
He clearly lost this fight. Any other fighter and they would've stopped it several times.
Crazy that this fight wasn’t stopped in the first, but it was the right decision
Herb Dean would’ve stopped it
It would have been stopped if this was a modern day fight lol.
Should have been stopped
@@muratisik6956 nah, referee knew Brock was hurt or exhausted.
Brook was defending himself the whole time.
I love seeing Chuck Liddell’s reaction cage side to Carwin Mauling him at 1:18
What a great fight. Both men are legends.
Carwin such an underrated legend man, showed up and Killed everyone in the first round and only lost to Lesnar (which easily could’ve been stopped) and prime JDS, solid ass career
EASILY. Now days stopped looooong ago.
Not could've. Should've. He won this fight and with ease. But hey they couldn't let the money cow lose that early on.
The sheer heart of Lesnar got him through the match. He was badly beaten up in the first round but the way he makes a comeback is incredible.
Heart and whatever cycle he was doing.

5:28 what a sportsmanship by these two amazing athletes.
I think the thing that Brock Lesnar has always had going for him whether it was NCAA or UFC, is that despite his size the guy has ridiculously explosive speed. Almost to a point that a man his size should not be able to move like that. The guy fits the description of a genetic freak.
Such a great fight. The outcome is so good.
I love how brock used proper technique to move safely from mount to side control when finishing the arm triangle choke. He chose not to exit the mount the same way he entered it.
@Dick Handy it’s not general “obviously” 🤦♂️way to mess up your comment 😂
He likes to compete. It's in his nature.
@@caiusjulius9836he knew exactly what he was doing he let Shane waste his gas tank knowning lesnar can last all 5 rounds
Nothing but respect for Brock Lesnar after this bout. He was getting mauled by Carwin in that first round, it was a complete one-sided domination. If this was held today, it probably would have been cut short early into the ground and pound. But it wasn't, and Lesnar did the impossible, survived an all-out beating only to come back, go to ground, and land the submission. You love to see it.
Facts. I couldn’t believe they didn’t call it. I get why they do it, and I know their hearts are in the right place; we want to make sure no one gets majorly effed up, you know? But sometimes these fighters still have a lot more to give.

NCAA heavyweight champion, UFC heavyweight champion, and WWE heavyweight champion. One of the greatest careers in combat sports history.
Edit: I guess I should be clear: obviously WWE isn’t an actual sport. If anything, it’s live stunts and showmanship. A bunch of weebs are calling me out for naming his reign as a WWE championship as a great accomplishment but they don’t understand how many talented athletes who participated in WWE have never been chosen to hold the belt. I, personally, would never claim to be able to do the things WWE superstars do on an almost daily basis. But Brock can and still does. He is a decorated wrestler, a decorated cage fighter, and a decorated in-ring performer. Call WWE fake, but you can’t deny that Brock has earned respect universally in both combat sports and sports entertainment.
So true bro
WWE is not a combat sport though.
^ true. Scripted championship runs cannot really be counted

Yes. It could've been stopped there. He went a long time without throwing anything back.
💯 with you on that
I agree that it absolutely gets stopped today but they let a lot of fights go back then that they wouldn’t today so I don’t think it was necessarily because it was Brock. That Matt Hughes comeback against Frank Trigg never happens today either.
I had a chance to meet this guy back in 2011 at a fan meet but I passed up the chance. Wish I knew how cool Lesnar was when I was a kid lol.
Never seen this fight before but i saw that arm triangle coming a mile away amazing work by brock to even survive that onslaught but to go on and IMMEDIATLY submit the guy amazing work
I'll never forget this day, everybody at Buffalo wild wings went nuts, Brock showed so much heart and Shane literally beat him till he couldn't bet him anymore, all time classic
It's crazy how close Carwin was to beating Brock. Hats off to Lesnar for the gutsy performance... and it's a shame how injuries plagued Shane's career
Don't forget that Lesnar was doing all of this while his health was in the worst way due to diverticulitis.
We all know that a lot of these guys were on many sauces and Carwin was a big time juice head. I loved watching Shane fight but doing that stuff cycle after cycle, your body starts breaking down faster and it can't recover correctly.
It's also why Shane's gas tank wasn't very large, even for a heavyweight
He did beat him in the first round at least a couple of times.
Ref should have stopped it
I remember being a kid watching these greats ahhh take me back please
this is what professionals look like
Some people dismiss Brock since he came from WWE. They forget that he beat Mark Hunt,Frank Mir,Randy Couture and Shane Carwin with an amazing come back.
Apparently people don't really like dlc characters
Frank Mir is washed up even in his prime. Randy coutoure wasn't really a heavyweight, he was a light heavyweight. Brock bested mark hunt on steroids and knew that Mark couldn't wrestle. Shane carwin was the only legitimate fighter and Brock took advantage of shane gassing himself out. Otherwise, Brock got whopped by Alistair, Cain and could have been junior too.
@@dangermanv6133 also Brock was wearing red shorts,also UFC was sponsered by budlight,also that day was Sunday,also Shane was wearing blue shorts,also Shane carwin ate too much before the fight,also he wanted to go for pee so he rushed,also Brock smiled before the second round Shane got mesmerized....

This is one of the best comeback fights ever. There were moments I thought it was gonna be stopped but the ref is an og.
The atmosphere and the anticipation of fights during this era is incredible. Don't get me wrong there are lot of great fights and even greater and technical fighters now compared to the past but damn, I miss the era of 2005-2012 era of the UFC. I miss this kind of crowds and the hype of every fight is unbelievable even though it's quite not technical yet.

Good job on the ref for Not stopping this fight in the beginning. Let em fight.

This is the fight where I realized Lesnsr was not what he was before - that’d he hadn’t fully recovered. The overreaction to the knee…..But it’s also where he showed intestinal fortitude and skilled strategy to reverse a bad start.
Intestinal fortitude might not be the best description of Lesnar. Lol

Amazing job by the ref Brick was getting hurt but he was defending intelligently never got rocked to the point where didn’t know what was happening and would posture and do enough! UFC needs to let fights go more these days they call it off so quickly
Just finished Brock's book. He said Josh Rosenthal told he and Carwin "This is for the UFC Havyweight, so I'm going to give you both a fighter's chance. As long as you can answer my questions and intelligently defend yourself, I'm letting the fight go on."
Great read if you haven't read it!

Facts
His finish on Frank Mir is fucking scary. I remember watching it as a fairly new fan to the sport (Brock was what introduced me to the sport as I was a WWE fan as a kid) I remember getting bored with the holding in the clinch then Shane just unloaded with uppercuts and he doesn’t stop until Frank dropped. I was just in awe at the sudden ferocity. Definitely one of the moments that solidified me becoming a true fan of the sport.
This days Shane Carwin was undefeated 12 wins and 0 Loses and 12 knockouts and all knockouts in the 1st round... I think this record was the greatest have ever seen in UFC until today.. Carwin was unstoppable knockout machine.. no one was available to stop him this years.. and he absolutely destroy the prime Frank Mir in seconds like a no one before.. and Brock when he was sick by diverticulitis he did this.. he survived lot of heavyweight brutal punches and elbows on his face and he stop him and beat him.. this night Brock Prove to the world why he was the best in the world and become the undisputed UFC h/w champ. Big respect to Brock Lesnar for this night. Lot of fighters say if Brock wasn't sick he should was UFC champ for long years. FACT
@@6xordorigma2011 Shane hit harder than Francis imo
@@squidguard4743 shane hasn't koed people better or better fighters like Francis
5:25 Best moment of the fight.
To me, Carwin winked to Brock in a way that meant "You got me, im exhausted..."
That right there is legendary stuff
Sheer will shown by the beast, absolute respect to Brock
8:59 I was expecting him to say Bbrrrock Llllesnarrr like Paul Heyman 😂
I remember back then this fight was the biggest fight in the sport then. Two Titans with the most power colliding, 2 guys that hadn’t really been tested on the feet, this fight was everything and more
It's surprising to see Brock Lesnar running like he was in that first round, but he brought it back for that 2nd round submission, well done by The Beast!
This fight would have been stopped ten times in the first round
If it was today's mma
Unfortunately
Unless Yamasaki is reffing.
I miss Mario and his hearts lol
Carwin was a total beast, knocked out Mir, Gonzaga etc, but Brock proved he was a tremendous athlete being able to adapt to MMA and actually won + defended his title in only several fights.
This honestly looks like two truck drivers getting in a fight due to road rage.
