Brock Lesnar chokes out Jimmy Fallon on 'Late Night' (Video)

PrintAll was fun and games last night (March 28) for Brock Lesnar when he went on "Late Night" with Jimmy Fallon. The brawny brawler and Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 coach was all smiles while he talked with the NBC host, with topics including his stint on the Spike TV reality show, his upcoming book and a little bit of the history of the Brockster himself.
And then they had some fun, with Lesnar choking Fallon out to end the segment. The charismatic star then sent the show to commercial break with the showmanship he so rarely exudes but very clearly possesses an overabundance of.
Anyone think a career in TV would be a good idea for the former heavyweight champ when he's done cracking skulls inside the cage?

Pretty short interview
He basically just introduced himself, advertised the show, and went on to choke out Fallon.
Lesnar is a duster and Fallon is a douchebag. Nuff said.

“Anyone think a career in TV would be a good idea for the former heavyweight champ when he’s done cracking skulls inside the cage?”
He was already there during his tenure with the WWE.
It’s not surprising that he does well in front of the camera as most wrestlers/ex-wrestlers are pretty good in that environment.

Nuff said? What the fuck is that? You think your feeble, pithy little quips made with no factual support or basis in reality should stand on their own merits as the apha and omega to any discussion? Bugger off, wanker.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
Wow relax p-dub, should have known not to chirp Brock with you guys around, but when we are discussing Jimmy Fallon, possibly the biggest travesty of a comedian ever, on Mania, i tend to not care
Like its Jimmy Fallon, not Leno or Lettermen, Jimmy fuckin Fallon. I’m all for mma media exposure but Fallon is a joke.

Awful technique
He doesn’t secure the head position and attacks the throat rather than the artery.
If you’re trying to be funny that was Lame and if you’re trying to be surious please seek mental help
GO BIG, OR GO HOME!!!

I was being serious
It was the type of choke that only a big strong guy like Lesnar can pull off. And do you often accuse those you disagree with of mental illness? That says more about you than them.
Um, this was a training session it was a fucking late night show and Brock was just showing him the very basics of a move.
A move easy to reverse if you don’t actually have your hooks or body triangle in so they could do that little bit at the end where Brock threw it to commercial, get over yourself!
Shogun Rua, still only 1 quality win in the UFC and I don't want to hear any garbage excuses about his knee. That is all.

You’re breaking down a choke from a late night talk show trying to sound like you’re Eddie fucking Bravo. You seriously are a fuck stick aren’t you
GO BIG, OR GO HOME!!!

Actually, it was a light-hearted comment. You must be frustrated in life to take everything so seriously. But, deep down, it would have been nice if Lesnar had shown a proper jiu-jitsu choke. This is why your ‘mainstream fans’ boo the ground game, because they don’t understand it. That TV spot was an ideal opportunity to show how many things you have to think about when executing a proper choke, instead of just muscling your way through it. But it was intended as a light-hearted comment. I hope you didn’t pop a blood vessel.
its hard not to take things seriously
when you say this…
I was being serious
…dumbass
Shogun Rua, P4P best...danago called it
I guess it takes some more explaining...
As I believe I’ve already outlined, I do wish Lesnar had shown a more technical manoeuvre to the crowd. The flip side to that is that I don’t think it’s the end of the world that he didn’t. You see how it’s a little more complicated than you at first thought? Life is like that. You should try and look at the whole of situation instead of taking one line out of context.
What’s wrong? Are you butt-hurt that I mocked your idol, Brock Lesnar. Is wrestling still real to you, dammit? When I’m making fun of Lesnar, am I also making fun of you? do you want to be just like him?
That was light-hearted too, by the way. But you’re probably not reading this. You’ve probably read the first sentence of this post and are already hammering away at your keyboard, spittle flying from your mouth.
well let me respond to this point by point...
its a late night TV show hosted by jimmy fucking fallon, the point of the segment was to hype TUF and be funny, not show a host and a crowd, 95% of which most likely dont care about MMA or TUF, the intricacies of a RNC…please dont mock me and try to make me look stupid, im smarter than you could ever dream of being my friend, given by your awful attempts at humor and your overzealous attempts to prove to us that what you said actually made sense…what’s worse is that im probly half your age as well…oh well, i digress
as a matter of fact i am butt hurt that you mocked my idol – how dare you rape me with words like that! and who said wrestling isnt real? just because its WWE now doesnt mean its fake, it can be real and entertaining cant it? CANT IT??? it pains me to this day that brock has yet to use an F-5 in the octagon, so you bet your ass i take it personal when you make fun of him. STOP! is it such a bad thing to want to be like brock lesnar? are you mad that im out-satirizing you right now? i know, it sucks to be beaten at your own game, happens to the best of us…well, not really, but it happens to idiots like you
nothing that i just said was light-hearted, if you want to mock me go right ahead, but i can guarantee you that youre going to get it back worse…and i read your whole post, something more than what youll probably do with this one, but once you pick up some hooked on phonics and get back up on the horse you should be able to breeze through this…ill talk to you then!
Shogun Rua, P4P best...danago called it
For the record I hate Brock Lesnar and I’ve never watched wrestling even when I was kid you douche bag
GO BIG, OR GO HOME!!!

I enjoyed this and actually scored a few points for Brock with me and hopefully others.
It was fun and he represented Zuffa and MMA very well. Cool.
UFC 129. This is how Christmas used to feel when I was six.
He was on sportscenter and first take this smithing. He was awesome at the promotion of the ufc and spoke very well about the sport as well as being humble. I just didn’t like he refeers to himself as an “ultimate fighter”. Other than that it was a good thing for the sport
GO BIG, OR GO HOME!!!

Lesnar has always been a nice and humble guy
People just hate him because he did so well in MMA with zero experience
