Brock Lesnar is a once in a generation athlete who possesses a body that is quite intimidating, and no one ever wants to encounter him in a brawl. The Beast Incarnate was known to dominate everywhere he has ever entered. Thus, bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger once stated that it scares him to compete in lifting against Lesnar.

Likewise, another legendary bodybuilder, Lou Ferrigno, stated that he would never like to be standing up against Lesnar, given his monstrous physique. Notably, Ferrigno won the Mr. America and two Mr. Universe titles in the IFBB bodybuilding competitions in a row but even he finds Lesnar menacing.

Ferrigno appeared in a match fight at UFC 121 in 2010, when Lesnar was still a dominant force in the UFC octagon, and there he met his buddy Karyn Bryant. Talking with Bryant about the UFC, he mentioned he believes this sport to be the greatest.

In addition, he added that he’s one of Lesnar’s admirers, but that the threatening figure attracts followers to the sport. Considering his strong build, he doesn’t want to confront him; he said, “You have Brock, whom I met two years ago, and to me he’s like The Incredible Hulk. I would not want to stand in front of him.”

Ferrigno’s career as an actor has been well-known, and he is most remembered for his role as the lead character in the legendary television series “Incredible Hulk.”

Similarly, he referred to Lesnar as the “Incredible Hulk” given his persona and as Lesnar had a tremendous frenzy in the octagon throughout his UFC career. Additionally, he doesn’t want to compete against him like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
