More than 20 years ago, Brock Lesnar started his professional wrestling and combat sports career. The Beast has claimed that even after all these years, performing in front of an audience still exhilarates him.
Brock Lesnar is an absolute beast inside the ring and the octagon. Considering the kind of performance Lesnar puts into each fight, it is only fair for him to put up crazy demands.

Lesnar wanted to gain a feel for the Octagon before the important match in Las Vegas. Despite being a physical specimen and having a great amateur wrestling record of 106-5. Lesnar pitched Dana White the idea of sending him an Octagon so that he can get used to the feeling of being in an octagon.
Brock Lesnar received Dana White’s octagon before his UFC debut
?Like when you go through the door, like, I built or ordered an Octagon so I could, didn?t have at first, like, jitters of getting in an Octagon.” Said Lesnar. Dana White was kind enough actually to follow through with this crazy demand!
?I?m like, ?Dana, I want an Octagon’, and like, ah boom, [the UFC] shipped an Octagon. So I can fight in it and practice in it, you know? added Lesnar.
The Beast Incarnate did not have the kind of start to his UFC career he would have wanted. Lesnar tapped out during his debut fight with Frank Mir, but it was only a minor setback. He had a great run during the subsequent fights in UFC, and he even clenched the title.
?Boom, then it took off. I fought Heath Herring, and then I got Randy Couture and won the belt.? Said Lesnar.
Can we say Lesnar is the best heavyweight in MMA history? It could be a topic of discussion. However, he swiftly established himself on the scene and triumphed over some fiercely competitive opponents in very public contests. So he is in no way somebody to be taken lightly in the octagon.
