Brock Lesnar has always been an intimidating character. Ever since his emergence in the business, he has terrorized every superstar on the WWE roster before moving to UFC.

In UFC, Lesnar again tasted success early in his career and even became the UFC World Heavyweight Champion. Throughout his UFC career, he maintained an elite position and posed as one of the toughest men in the company. He has had some of the most memorable fights of his career during his stint at UFC.  However, after an unfortunate incident in 2016, Lesnar was suspended from UFC.

UFC Commentator Joe Rogan even labelled Lesnar as a “m*therf**ker” who took the craziest chance that anybody ever took. Rogan said, “Let me tell you something. That m*therf**ker. That guy took the craziest chance that anybody ever took. He was a WWE Superstar making millions of dollars, throwing people around. Being the f**king man and he decided, ‘I wanna fight in the UFC.’ ” Rogan complimented Lesnar’s confidence in taking that decision.

Joe Rogan then claimed that Lesnar fought Frank Mir on his debut match, and then hyped Frank Mir up. He said, “He fights Frank Mir. Frank Mir is the fu**ing former UFC Heavyweight Champion. This is his first fight. You know how crazy that is?”

The 55-year-old then said, “So, he then dominates Heath Herring, who is one of the toughest guys to ever fight in MMA period. Heath Herring was a f**king animal, and (Lesnar) just ran him over. And you got to see what a freak athlete Brock Lesnar is. Then he beats Randy f**king Couture in his fourth professional fight. Then he beats the f**k out of Frank Mir in the rematch. ”  

Rogan stated Brock Lesnar in his rematch, destroyed Frank Mir and had a defence prepared for a move, to which he had lost earlier. Rogan complimented Lesnar’s athleticism and how he defeated every tough opponent the UFC had for him.
