Now the fighter seems all set to join the WWE and take his career to greater heights. Today, Steveson is the man of the world heavyweight wrestling. However, when a few years ago he ran into Brock Lesnar, Steveson was scared.

During his recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Steveson recalled his meeting with Lesnar.

He said, “I was scared as hell of him. The dude came up, and he’s about 6-3, 6-4, he’s put together and he was actually ripped. I was like, he’s bigger than I thought. This was the first time I’d seen him in person.”

“But honestly, it’s cool to have that mentor, that role model in my life, and have him do everything that I want to do in such a dominating fashion, it’s cool because he can tell me how he did it and things I can do better.”

Lesnar is a legend of combat sports and has achieved much success in pro wrestling as well as MMA. The fighter is a former WWE and UFC champion and is one of the best heavyweight fighters ever. ‘The Beast Incarnate’ also has an amazing physique and therefore, it is quite possible to get intimated by someone like him.

However, Steveson revealed that in time, it became easier to be around him. He said, “But when I first saw him, I was like, come on now. You’re going to have me wrestle you right now? But as the time went on and we got closer and got cooler, it was just an easier factor now.”
