However, this isn’t something he learned once he grew up. Fighting is in his blood. ‘The Beast’ has been fighting others since his childhood.
During a conversation on the Pat McAfee Show, he detailed how he had specifically focused on fighting with his brothers and others when he was growing up.
“I was fighting as a kid. My older brothers, no joke. You know, the local people from Webster, South Dakota will tell you that ‘The Lesnar Family’ we’re fighters. I grew up six years younger than my two older brothers, who were getting out of jail on Monday morning, to go to school because of street fights. So, I grew up with that stigma. We went to street dances. I went there to fight. That’s what I did, anyway.”
It wasn’t something that he forced himself to do. Fighting came naturally to him, and finally, his parents had to make a decision.
