Thirteen years ago, a former UFC champion made his final walk to the octagon. At UFC 141 in 2011, Alistair Overeem stopped former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in a main event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Overeem quickly took control of the center of the octagon, and patiently waited for Lesnar to present an opening
