However, Van Dam had to highlight another feat of Lesnar. He said, “When he was UFC World Champion that was, like, there’s nothing else that would legitimize, if you want to go that far. What we do doesn’t get enough respect. Because every fan thinks they can do it. And that seems to be more and more what they’re after.” 

In a true sense, Van Dam thought Lesnar was good for the business. He even shed light on the success of The Beast Incarnate at the UFC and considered it one of the prime reasons for his respect. So much so, that Lesnar has legends, including another WWE legend who discussed his rivalry with the 46-year-old.
