The physique of the reigning WWE champion makes him the perfect fighting machine, and Lesnar has proven this time and time again.

During his earlier days in WWE, the young rookie would decimate anyone and everyone in his path and eventually, became the youngest WWE champion at that time.

However, when Lesnar moved to UFC, his incredible height and weight worked to his advantage as he secure the UFC Heavyweight championship inside the octagon.

Lesnar has the personal best of lifting 655 pounds (297 kilograms). However, if we put this in perspective, then this number looks scary. The Olympian power-lifter, Mark Henry, has a personal best of 585 pounds, which speaks volumes about Lesnar’s strength.
