So I guess a few wrestling fans out there are interested in Brock Lesnar’s UFC debut.
In the end, the victory went to Mir, who posted one of the most remarkable come-from-behind victories in recent UFC history. Former WWE performer and decorated wrestler Brock Lesnar tossed around and battered his opponent. However, on the brink of defeat, Mir grabbed a leg, tripped Lesnar, and secured a knee bar to force the tap-out just 90 seconds into the first round. But don’t cry, Brock, there’s always a contract waiting for you at TNA, right?
In related news, part of Brock Lesnar’s 2003 Survivor Series team is looking for a return to the WWE, Nathan Jones.
In 2003, WWE had some very big plans for Jones, but his initial push flopped and he was off television within three months. His wrestling skills were so bad that at the last minute, WWE pulled him from his scheduled tag match with Undertaker at WrestleMania XIX. The storyline excuse for this was that he was “injured.” He was taken off television all together a few weeks later. Nathan was then sent to OVW to improve his wrestling skills. It was during this period that Jones appeared in a bit part for the movie Troy. Jones was brought back to the main roster in November 2003 for the Survivor Series. One month later during an international tour when they were in his native Australia, Jones quit the company. The rigor of the WWE lifestyle, compounded by dyslexia, became too much for Nathan, and he quit the company on December 6, 2003.
Since his departure from WWE in 2003, he’s only worked a handful of wrestling matches, instead choosing to concentrate on his acting career. Jones came together with WWE once again in 2006, this time under the WWE Films banner, playing ‘The Russian’ in The Condemned, starring “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
