“I Don’t Really Care”: Brock Lesnar’s Shocking Reaction Before Media When Asked About His Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt

Brock Lesnar might be the fiercest wrestler in the ring right now. His intense look and devastating moves, made him one of the greatest to step into the wrestling ring. But after two decades of being in the ring, Lesnar has only diminished his move set. While being in the UFC made him capable of many new moves and abilities, his current move set includes not much of display.

Before leaving WWE, the Beast had a lot of moves that shocked the entire crowd. It was the first time a brawler would get on the top rope and deliver a picture-perfect shooting star press. His matches with the likes of Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero were the highlights of his domination era when he debuted. But things were never the same after that.

In an interview back in his UFC days, Brock Lesnar was asked about the blue belt that he achieved in Jiu-Jitsu. He replied, “Obviously, my goal is to be a fifth-degree black belt… To me, Jiu-Jitsu is fun, and it’s part of the game. Along with stand-up, you train in all disciplines. I guess it was time for it. I never asked for it or I don’t really care if I have a belt or not. Not to be too downgrading, I think it’s just a process, it’s just a label. I never thought twice about it.”

At this time, Brock Lesnar was making an appearance for the UFC while he still wrestled here and there. So, it doesn’t take a genius to understand that he was at the top of his performance.

The brawling style of UFC turns Brock Lesnar into a fighting machine in WWE

When Lesnar left WWE, he first turned to NJPW. There, he won his one and only wrestling title without the WWE symbol. But Japan wasn’t enough to feed the Beast with his diet, so he turned to the UFC. And here is where he found genuine success, both money-wise and fame-wise. Dana White was way too happy to get WWE’s biggest debut superstar under his company.

But after a few fights and winning the UFC Heavyweight Championship, Cain Velasquez slayed the Beast. After that, there was no need for Lesnar to brawl in the Octagon because a familiar face beckoned him to come back. This time Lesnar wrote the rules and everyone was happy. WWE had a big star under their company again and Lesnar had a great schedule. But this limited his fighting abilities greatly.
