Former UFC Heavyweight Champ Lesnar hands Undertaker first Wrestlemania loss
This is not a pro wrestling site, however, the news that broke during last night’s WrestleMania 30 event does deserve some attention.
In case you missed it, the Undertaker has gone an undefeated 21-0 in more than two decades of matchups in the WWE’s biggest annual event.
Last night, the streak came to an end when former UFC heavyweight champion (and WWE champion) Brock Lesnar put a halt to the dead man’s momentum, shocking the crowd. (Watch the video. The look on the face of some of these fans is priceless).
After being sidelined from fighting in late 2009 due to diverticulitis, Lesnar returned to defeat the Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin at UFC 116. Lesnar later lost the title to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121. He was once again stricken with a bout of diverticulitis in May 2011 and had surgery to try to cope with the ailment.
Lesnar had one more MMA bout, a loss to Alistair Overeem in December 2011 and has not returned to MMA since.
