FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 1, 2008, Minneapolis, MN Henson & Efron, P.A. is proud to announce that our client, Brock Lesnar, will be competing for the UFC Heavy Weight Championship on November 15th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada – a bout that is being called "the biggest fight in UFC history."

“There is one goal that I’ve had since I started training in MMA and that is to capture the title. Now that I’m getting the chance, nothing is going to stop me. I’m walking out of the Octagon with the belt around my waist.”

At 6' 3 1/2", and 265 pounds, this prominent fighting figure and fierce competitor means business. On November 15th in Las Vegas, Nevada, Brock Lesnar’s goal of becoming the new UFC Heavy Weight Champion will be well within his grasp.

Not so, if Randy “The Natural” Couture has anything to say about it. Considered by some to be a legend in UFC history, Couture has extensive years of experience, and five UFC championship belts in his favor.

The face-off between these two powerful giants, Lesnar with his natural athletic ability and surprising agility against Couture, with his years of experience, skillful resourcefulness and numerous championship belts behind him promise to make this fight one of the most anticipated and, ultimately, one of the greatest fights in UFC history.

Henson & Efron attorneys David Bradley Olsen and Brian Stegeman sort out the very exciting, but often sticky details involved with representing a client such as Brock Lesnar. Of course, both attorneys work hard to make sure Lesnar has his best foot (or fist) forward when it comes to matters of business. Olsen and Stegeman manage every aspect of Lesnar’s professional career including:

  • Procuring and negotiating promotional and endorsement deals
  • Protecting Lesnar’s name, image and other intellectual property
  • Handling public relations matters
  • Providing general business, tax and estate planning services
  • Facing the additional challenges of advising a client whose career is a bit harsher than other celebrities
