MINNESOTAN BROCK LESNAR TO MAKE ULTIMATE FIGHTING HISTORY
Lesnar heads to Las Vegas for the most anticipated UFC fight ever!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 4, 2008, Minneapolis, MN – Henson & Efron, P.A. is proud to announce that Brock Lesnar will be fighting for the UFC Heavyweight Championship on November 15th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout is being called "the biggest fight in UFC history."

“There is one goal that I’ve had since I started training in Mixed Martial Arts and that is to capture the Ultimate Fighting Championship title,” says Lesnar. “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, Lesnar means business. His opponent, however, is five-time UFC Champion and MMA and UFC legend Randy “The Natural” Couture, who will not go down easily.

Lesnar started his career in Mixed Martial Arts with an impressive TKO win in June of last year; but he is best known for his accomplishments as a four-time All American and NCAA National Heavyweight Champion wrester for the University of Minnesota, and as a three-time World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Champion, Lesnar who hadn’t played football since high school, also came incredibly close to making the Minnesota Vikings’ roster in 2004. But for injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, many think he would have made it in the NFL.

Now, in his thirties, Lesnar is becoming a household name in the increasingly popular world of Ultimate Fighting. He is also taking the business side of his career very seriously.
