Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar again captured the WWE heavyweight title at SummerSlam Saturday night, and one of the first men to congratulate him was none other than Jon Jones

“Bones,” the UFC light heavyweight champion, posted a video on Instagram of his encounter with Lesnar just moments after he decimated John Cena to again wear WWE gold. 

“Hey, I’m here with big Brock Lesnar right after the smack down. How you feelin’?” Jones asked. 

“Good, man, good,” Lesnar responded. 

“That was a lot of fun. This was my first time getting to watch him do his thing and he was a beast out there, the people loved him,” Jones gushed. 

“Thank you, thank you,” Lesnar said, before Jones concluded by saying “good times.” 

Lesnar holds the distinction of being the youngest WWE heavyweight titleholder of all time, as he was just 25 years old when he wrestled the belt away from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at SummerSlam in 2002.

The hulking Minnesota native also wore WWE championship gold when he defeated Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XIX back in 2003. 

A two-time All-American collegiate wrestler, Lesnar retired from mixed martial arts after suffering back-to-back TKO losses to Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem.

Months later, Lesnar decided to return to the WWE on a part-time basis. 

When Lesnar won the UFC heavyweight title from Randy Couture at UFC 91 in November 2008, Jones was just 7-0 as a professional mixed martial artist and had fought his first UFC bout just four months prior. 

Jones easily won a decision against Andre Gusmao at UFC 87, showing flashes of the superstar fight fans know today: utilizing explosive takedowns and spinning back elbows during their 15-minute affair. 

The fighters traveled two markedly different paths from there: Two bouts with the stomach disease diverticulitis took a serious toll on Lesnar’s fight career, while Jones has compiled a 13-1 record since that point and is generally regarded as the best fighter on the UFC roster. 

According to Paul Heyman, Lesnar’s manager, his top client would’ve been unstoppable inside the cage if he had never gotten ill, per Damon Martin of Fox Sports. 

Many years down the line when Jones hangs up the gloves for good, would pro wrestling be a natural transition for him?

The 11 Greatest Ultimate Surrender Videos That We Can Get Away With Showing You


(“Staring down her opponent with an animalistic desire, is ScissorFox.” — Mike Goldberg)

In case you’ve never heard of it — yeah right, pervert — Ultimate Surrender is essentially the girl-on-girl porn version of submission grappling. Barely-clothed women wrestle each other through three sweaty rounds, and the winner gets to have her way with the loser at the end. According to the totally explicit, NSFW, and hilarious official website, “The quickest way to win is to make your opponent have a screaming orgasm totally against her will. In the heat of the moment it can happen easily.” Easily!

Sound like something you’d like? Well today’s your lucky day. In the name of journalistic integrity, we scoured YouTube to find the best Ultimate Surrender videos that we can post here without violating our “no actual nudity” policy. Never let it be said that CagePotato won’t go to any heights (or depths, in this case) to get the story. Enjoy…

(Generic nu-metal riffs? Erotic stretching? This is just like MMA! Anyway, the action starts around the 2:11 mark.)


(And they have promotional rankings, too. Ultimate Surrender is more legitimate than I thought.)


(Wow, the voice on that blonde girl. I’d listen to her trash-talk me all day.)


(No fair, that tattooed chick looks like she actually knows how to grapple. You expect me to masturbate to a squash match?)


(I don’t care if the instructor is a fraud — *this* is the BJJ school I want to belong to.)

Ronda Rousey Talks Love of CM Punk, Interest in Pro Wrestling

Ronda Rousey is the UFC women’s bantamweight champion and, to some people, the best pound-for-pound female fighter on the planet. Usually, she’s pretty witty when it comes to trash talking an opponent, but it seems as though that ability doesn’t translate when discussing the opposite sex. Or in this case, Rousey‘s man-crush, former WWE star CM […]

Martial Arts Fail of the Week: How to Stomp Out a Wrestler

Remember those idiots who taught us BJJ’s five fatal weaknesses (spaz punches and bright red pants being chief among them)?

Well, they’re back. This time, the same “school”—Combatant Extreme Self Defense—is taking on wrestling.

And it’s legit…or at least legit in the sense that the guys who peddle this crap actually believe it works. It doesn’t though. There are more things wrong with this takedown “defense” than are wrong with Vitor Belfort‘s sudden removal from his UFC 173 title bout against Chris Weidman. Let’s just say this: Count yourself lucky if you wind up in a street fight with a “wrestler” who opts to grab your rear leg on a single leg takedown, let alone make thousands of other mistakes.

Stay tuned for next week’s traditional martial art’s fail, where another favorite from the past will be telling us how to defeat boxing with deadly street smarts.
