Brock Lesnar is one of the most intimidating pro wrestlers on the planet currently. Every match Lesnar is in, he makes sure to destroy his opponents to a pulp, and to a point of no returning. However, over such a long career, he has faced his share of disappointments as well.
Lesnar had made a switch from pro wrestling to MMA, and in his very first bout in UFC, he suffered a loss. However, his impact and star power led to a couple of more high-profile fights, and then a title victory. He defended his title on various occasions, however, he would later lose it to Cain Velasquez.

Lesnar’s loss at the hands of Velasquez had shocked him, but he did not lose hope. He was diagnosed with diverticulitis, however; he had surgery and overcame it. Upon his return to the octagon, the Beast faced Alistair Overeem in another losing bout. After this match, Lesnar would announce his retirement.
Another such legend known for her feats in both wrestling and MMA is Ronda Rousey. The Rowdy one was an Olympian and one of the greatest MMA fighters. However, her title loss against Holly Holm would break her. She would then go on a hiatus. However, after coming back, Rousey again suffered a loss against Amanda Nunes, after which she sought retirement.

Speaking to ESPN’s SportsCenter, Lesnar opened up about various things, including Rousey’s loss to Holly Holm, and her Hollywood career. Brock Lesnar stated that he himself has been a big fan of Ronda Rousey from the very beginning. The Beast Incarnate said, “One thing that I learned, and she should have learned a long time ago, was that you have to learn how to lose before you can actually win.” He revealed that his coach taught him this lesson because he always has been a bad loser who did not take defeats well.
However, Lesnar also had another helpful piece of advice for her. He said, “You’ve got to be able to get back on the horse, and this life is very precious and very short. One fight isn’t going to make or break her career. She’s just got to get back on the horse again and figure it out, and she will.” Both Lesnar and Rousey are with WWE right now. While Lesnar was involved in a feud with Bobby Lashley while Ronda Rousey is the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion.
