“I Am Ready for War” : Brock Lesnar Strangled Joe Rogan for Making a Major Blunder During Their First Time in UFC

Brock Lesnar is one of the most successful and dangerous wrestlers in recent history. Lesnar has always been a tough opponent, and his achievements can testify to that. The Beast Incarnate made his WWE debut in 2002 and has been on a carnage since then. His strength and endurance are second to none, and he was the first person to break The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.

Back in 2007, during UFC 77, Brock Lesnar was unveiled as a UFC fighter to the world. Joe Rogan sat down with Lesnar and started with the introductions.

However, things got a bit nasty when Rogan once pronounced Lesnar’s name wrong. Rogan introduced Lesnar with the name of another MMA Fighter, Brock Larson. However, he was quick to correct his error and accepted the mistake.

Brock Lesnar jokingly grabbed Rogan by his neck and strangled him. Rogan then went on to ask Lesnar about his background, and his future thoughts about the UFC. Lesnar said, “I finally made it to big times, baby.” 

Lesnar said, “Absolutely. You know for me, my amateur roots and everything, I have always loved this sport. I have always wanted to participate in it, and I thank god that I’m able to do this and I thank Dana White and UFC man. I am just excited.”

He continued, “I am on the big battleship, UFC and I am ready for war baby and I am looking for a fight.” Lesnar had an exceptional career in UFC, even winning the Heavyweight Championship.

Similar to Brock Lesnar, The Hulkster was once involved in strangling a television host. Although Lesnar did not get into any trouble as Joe Rogan and Lesnar had a mutual understanding and it was lighthearted, strangling on TV led Hogan into a lawsuit.

Hulk Hogan was sued for strangling a television host

Leading up to the first WrestleMania in 1985, Hulk Hogan and Mr. T were invited on a television show by Richard Belzer.

However, after poking fun at Hogan and Mr. T, Belzer asked Hogan to put him in a front chin lock. But unfortunately, things turned sour when Belzer lost consciousness. He passed out and fell on the floor, bursting his head open. He then needed to be hospitalized and had multiple stitches for that.

Brock Lesnar strangling the legendary UFC color commentator was entirely harmless compared to what Hogan did. However, Belzer is much more lightweight than Rogan, and Hogan indeed went hard on him. The incident, however, resulted in a  $5 million lawsuit by Belzer against Hogan.
