The Beast Incarnate has been with the WWE Universe for two decades off and on. Lesnar was a freestyle wrestler before he joined the WWE. It’s not a secret that he wasn’t a big fan of pro wrestling initially, joining the UFC in 2008 after leaving WWE.

But, it looks like The Beast made more enemies in the UFC than allies. Recently, 28-year-old UFC star Khamzat Chimaev challenged Brock Lesnar. Even though Lesnar announced his retirement from MMA a long time ago, it seems his reputation has still got some takers.
