The Beast stands tall at 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 283 lbs. His chest measures 55 inches, and his biceps boast a circumference of 22 inches. Brock Lesnar’s incredible strength, speed, and agility make him an intimidating force in both professional wrestling and mixed martial arts, solidifying his status as one of the most dominant athletes in these arenas.

Lesnar boasts an impressive pro wrestling career with 434 matches, comprising 312 wins, 114 losses, and 8 draws. Notably, 93% of these matches (405) occurred in WWE, where he achieved a remarkable 71.1% win rate, totaling 288 victories. He has a reach of 81 inches as per the UFC.

Lesnar has a good record in the UFC, where he is a former heavyweight champion. From eight bouts, he has four wins, three losses, and one no-contest result. Lesnar shocked many with his win against the UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture at UFC 91 (2008). While that win put him on the map, his follow-up wins against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin cemented his legacy as a prolific MMA fighter.

Brock Lesnar Achieved a Massive Feat That No One Can Replicate, but Not Even WWE Acknowledges It

Apart from pro wrestling and MMA, Lesnar also dabbled in the NFL, though not for long. While he did not get to play in the regular season, his combine numbers can give most NFL players a run for their money. As per reports, the WWE icon managed to complete a 40-yard sprint in 4.7 seconds, perform a vertical jump of 35 inches, a broad jump of 10 feet, and bench press 225 pounds for 30 reps. He achieved these numbers in 2004 when he signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

Mir thinks Lesnar would have dominated the UFC

One of Brock Lesnar’s his greatest UFC rivals, Frank Mir, can’t help but wonder what-if when it comes to Lesnar’s MMA career. He did an interview with the New York Post in 2013.

Mir reflected on how diverticulitis altered Lesnar’s UFC career in 2013, leading to his early retirement and transition to WWE. He highlights the missed opportunities and Lesnar’s untapped potential due to illness.

Lesnar’s explosive entry into the UFC saw him facing Mir in his debut, a fight he dominated before succumbing to a kneebar submission. Lesnar ascended in the heavyweight division, securing the UFC title by defeating Herring and Couture. His UFC 100 rematch showcased a shift in his fighting style, attributed to illness, as noted by Mir.

After recovering from diverticulitis surgery, Lesnar won against Carwin but encountered losses to Velasquez and Overeem. A subsequent bout of diverticulitis necessitating surgery marked the end of his promising MMA career. Mir believes Lesnar could have remained a dominant force in the heavyweight division without these health setbacks.
