Brock Lesnar heads into UFC 141 knowing full well that only a win against Alistair Overeem will suffice if he’s to once again vie for the title he once so proudly held. However, if he comes up short in this title eliminator bout, he should call it a day and ride off into the sunset.
For someone who more or less was a novice when he made his foray into mixed martial arts back in June of 2007, the NCAA Division I wrestler has exceeded all expectations, amassing an impressive record of 5-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC.
During that period, he also won the heavyweight crown whilst successfully defending it on two separate occasions.
Nonetheless, that’s where the fairytale ends.
These are the reasons why Lesnar should retire if he loses to Overeem come UFC 141.
