Brock Lesnar always knew how to make an entrance. And even after losing to Alistair Overeem in the main event of UFC 141 Friday night, he knew how to make an exit as well, stealing the show in Las Vegas with his announcement that he was retiring from the sport of mixed martial arts at the age of 34.

Finishing with a record of 5-3, Lesnar’s slate didn’t truly reveal the impact he had on the sport in a little over four years, or what he had to overcome to get into the Octagon in the tail end of his short career. Needless to say, he will be remembered by fans of the sport, some who booed, some who cheered, but all of whom watched him when he competed.

The last line of the quote from the article is sums up Brock's career pretty well. I liked Brock, he was one of the very few legitimate heavyweights to compete in the UFC. Guess having a couple feet of your large intestine removed can have an effect on a professional sports career. Who knew?

I was both surprised and not surprised. I've always felt that Evil Brock was just a character, that he is a very private, down to earth guy.

I wish he would have been able to recover and fight a few more years. His UFC career feels unfinished.
