Lesnar has been in the business long enough to add a huge blend of experience to his already superhuman abilities. Lesnar found his talisman in Paul Heyman. Managing the star, Heyman was able to turn Brock into a global star. However, prior to being The Beast Incarnate, Lesnar indeed had a humble beginning.

Brock Lesnar- Early Life

The 47-year-old Lesnar was born in Webstar, South Dakota. He was brought up at his parent’s dairy farm. Lesnar joined the National Army Guard at 17 years of age but was later discharged due to his color-blindness. He would also have a brief stint working at a construction company. During his school life, Lesnar played football and wrestling.

In his senior year, he was placed third in the State Championships. During his time at Bismarck State College in 1997, he was placed 5th in the 275 lb division of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). In 1998, his sophomore year, he won the 275 lb championship. In 2000, he won NCAA Division 1. He also maintained an overall record of 106-5 during the four years of his college.

Brock Lesnar Wife and Children

Brock Lesnar is currently 46 years old and is married to former WWE superstar Sable. A completely different man outside the wrestling ring, Lesnar usually likes to spend his life in peace, and privately.

He and his wife, Sable, live in a nice house in Maryfield, Saskatchewan, Canada. He has 4 children- May Lynn, Luke, Duke, and Turk. 

Brock Lesnar-Jon Jones Beef

Both Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones are two of the most fiercest fighters inside the octagon. However, fans were never able to witness them battling it out against each other. Back in 2011, things took a different route when both Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar were on their rise. As Jones defeated Ryan Bader and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, rumors began of him facing Brock Lesnar.

 Joes was a light-heavyweight, Brock Lesnar was a heavyweight. However, Jones stood tall from Lesnar at 6’4” whereas Lesnar is 6’3”. Also, Jones had the UFC-record 84.5-inch reach whereas Brock had an 81-inch reach.

In addition, Jones brought with him a wrestling history similar to what Lesnar had. But, Lesnar had the upper hand of experience himself, which the then 23-year-old Jon Jones lacked. Although Jones had a height, and reach advantage, Lesnar had a pure size, and sheer strength advantage with himself. 

However, their feud never played out, and fans still wonder who would have won between the two. Both upcoming stars in the UFC then, one had the height advantage, while the other was about pure brute strength. 

Jon Jones always wanted to fight Lesnar, but their timings never aligned. As Jones took a hiatus from MMA to become a heavyweight, Lesnar would make the move back to WWE, where he rose to the top. If again opportunity strikes, fans will always want to see how their feud plays out.

Brock Lesnar UFC Career

Apart from his WWE career, he also had a run with UFC. At UFC, Brock Lesnar was a beast, winning fights, and smashing his opponents. However, his debut fight would not go as planned. Lesnar would enter UFC on a one-fight contract in 2008 and fought Frank Mir in a losing bout.

Despite a loss in his debut, he would be offered a new contract, and would fight Heath Herring, and win against him. Next, he would defeat Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight Championship, and win the title. Soon after, Lesnar again went into battle with Frank Mir, but this time won against him. After a few title defenses, Lesnar would lose his belt to Cain Velasquez.

He would then take a hiatus to recover from his battle with diverticulitis. However, soon he made another return but lost to Alistair Overeem after several massive body shots, and a liver kick. Lesnar would then announce his first UFC retirement in 2011. Again in 2016, Brock Lesnar would make his comeback to UFC for a fight against Mark Hunt, and win. But the decision would later be reversed after Lesnar breached anti-doping policies.

This would however mark the end of Lesnar’s career in UFC, and he would make a complete switch to WWE.
