When confronted with fear, normal people quiver and shake. They will cower away from the mere thought of that confrontation. What does Brock Lesnar fear? To relive October 23, 2010 when the Butcher of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, Cain Velasquez, beat, bloodied, and conquered Brock Lesnar. When he took at will and by force the Heavyweight Championship of the World from Brock in a first round TKO. For 9 years, Brock has never offered a single excuse for that night because Brock had no excuses for that night because that is the type of fighter Cain is.
