Brock Lesnar Joins UFC

Here comes the pain, UFC!

Brock Lesnar has signed a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The 30-year-old former WWE star is eager to take the next step in his mixed martial arts career and is now expected to take on some of the best heavyweights in the world.

The announcement of the signing of Lesnar to a promotional contract was made by UFC President Dana White during the pay-per-view broadcast of UFC 77: Hostile Territory at the U.S. Bank Arena.

“I don't think there are any other pro wrestlers that can make the transition to MMA, except for Brock Lesnar,” White said. “And if you look at his amateur wrestling credentials, his size, and what he's done, this guy can end up being a force in the heavyweight division of the UFC.”
