Former Gopher wrestler and WWE star Brock Lesnar finally gave up on being a Viking and has set his sights on the world of ultimate fighting. Although he lost his debut match last February against Frank Mir, Lesnar learned to never let up in UFC and won a decisive victory over Heath Herring in from of a home crowd at Target Center this past weekend.
Lesnar, a real gym rat who is familiar with weight machines and treadmills, saw his record improve to 1-1 following the victory.
Over 15,000 attended the Target Center show, which featured 10 matches, and was featured on pay-per-view as UFC 87: Seek and Destroy. The only sour note is a special 10-percent surtax charged to promoters by the city of Minneapolis; word has it UFC may look to Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul for their next event in Minnesota, due to the issue.
