UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was delighted after his win over Shane Carwin at the UFC 116 event last night.
Lesnar, who dedicated the win to his family, defeated Carwin with a second-round arm triangle submission.
Lesnar was almost forced to quit MMA last November when he was diagnose with diverticulitis by his doctors.
“It’s just great to win,” Lesnar said after the fight. “Honest to God, what I’ve been through since Nov. 6 to this point, it feels like it’s been 10 years. It’s been a grueling, grueling road.
“I can say this: I remember when I was lying there, [my trainer] Marty Morgan at my hospital bed from day one. To be here, it really is truly a miracle. To come back from all that and to be here and win, words cannot describe it. I feel like I’m in a dream.”
