Despite an Average Looking 4?3 UFC Record, Brock Lesnar?s MMA Stats Are a Lot Better Than You Think

Brock Lesnar holds a record of four wins and three losses in his UFC career. But does that mean he is a mediocre fighter? No, it certainly doesn’t. There are many examples where a UFC fighter has secured a lot of wins over losses, making people think of it as an extraordinary run, but there’s a lot more to it.

Despite the 4 wins and 3 losses in Lesnar’s UFC record, his MMA stats are way better than you actually think. Dive deeper with us as we explore why, despite not-so-good numbers in his record book, he is an elite competitor.

Brock Lesnar has always fought the best of the best

‘The Beast Incarnate’ has fought a total of eight matches in his UFC career and all the matches he has fought were against the best competitors in the industry, most of them were also former champions. Unlike many combat sports athletes, he didn’t square off against a bunch of amateurs, just for the sake of adding wins to his record.

Instead, almost every time he stepped inside the octagon, it was against a highly skilled and dangerous opponent. Even then, he managed to pick up more victories than he suffered losses. His very first UFC victory was against Heath Herring at UFC 87 in August 2009.

At UFC 91 on November 15, 2008, he defeated Randy Couture to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship. On July 11, 2009, and July 3, 2010, he defeated interim champions Frank Mir and Shane Carwin to successfully defended and unified the UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 100 & 116, respectively.

Somewhere around 2010, his health started to deteriorate, which clearly showed in his performance henceforth.

Lesnar and his struggle with diverticulitis

Two out of three losses in Lesnar’s career came from the career-altering disease, diverticulitis. As a result of his illness, he started to become rusty, and the fans could clearly see that in his matches. Thus, on October 23, 2010, and December 30, 2011, he had to taste bitter losses at the hands of Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem at UFC 121 and 141.

The very first bout he lost was against Frank Mir at UFC 81 in February 2008 and that too because of a rookie mistake. In addition, he fought and won one more match in July 2016. At UFC 200, he defeated Mark Hunt, but NSAC overturned his victory as a performance-enhancing drug, clomiphene, was found in his test.

In 2018, ‘The Conqueror’ retired from the octagon and has been putting all his focus into the squared circle since then. In conclusion, even though his MMA statistics look pretty average but if seen from an in-depth perspective, then he has one of the most glorious UFC profiles in history.
