Add USA TODAY to the growing list of media outlets discussing the awesome dominance of Former WWE Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion and brand new UFC Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.
 
In the story, reporter Beau Dure declares the following:
 
The Brock Lesnar era has begun in earnest.

The hulking Lesnar left little doubt on the ownership of Ultimate Fighting Championship's heavyweight title, pummeling Frank Mir to avenge his one career loss with a second-round TKO at Mandalay Bay Events Center.

 

Mir had beaten the granite-built former pro and college wrestling standout in their first bout, Lesnar's first in the UFC, shaking off Lesnar's punches and forcing the then-inexperienced fighter to tap out with a leglock.

This time, Lesnar again took the action to the ground early in the first round but found himself able to do little against Mir, who has some of the best jiu-jitsu skills in the heavyweight class. After gradually improving his position, Lesnar was able to land some short punches to Mir's face and ribs. Mir returned to his corner with his face bloodied and bruised.

Mir started brightly in the second round with a couple of strong knees but wound up under Lesnar again, unable to dislodge his larger opponent, who weighed in at the heavyweight limit of 265 pounds.

The crowd booed and chanted "Stand 'em up," but referee Herb Dean saw that Lesnar was landing punches. Mir finally fell to his side, and Lesnar landed several strong shots before Dean stopped the contest.

Mir arose and said something to Lesnar. The crowd booed heavily as Lesnar strutted around the cage, drawing a double middle-finger salute from the champion.

The postfight interview resembled a pro wrestling scene, with Lesnar yelling at the crowd to bring on the boos.
