There are only a few veritable monsters that terrify the soul out of fans and wrestlers alike. While Andre the Giant and Yokozuna’s monster aspect was their size, but this generation’s monster, Brock Lesnar, has his massive physique to boast.
Anyone who gets captured in his hands is gone faster than he can blink. Kofi Kingston, Ricochet, and many other wrestlers are just a few examples of Lesnar’s strength.
But when Lesnar hopped onto the other combat sports, people thought that he would meet his match. But even in the Octagon, Lesnar showed his dominance against competitors from all over the world.

When it came to size though, there were many fighters who matched Lesnar pound for pound except for this feature of his.
MMA veteran once mentioned Brock Lesnar as a marvel superhero
When talking to WERMMA, Jacob Duran was asked whose hands were the most huge that he had to cover.
About the match with Shane Carwin, the veteran said, “They [UFC] made special gloves, 4x gloves for these guys, and when I was working with Brock Lesnar, I’m putting his gloves on and they ripped. His hands were so big, it just ripped. And Bert Watson, our coordinator, was saying, You know, what are we going to do?”
“We only have two pairs of gloves. So I remember working with the Klitschko brothers. They would put Vaseline on their hand wrap and slide the glove in. That’s what I did with Brock Lesnar on his second pair, the only pair we had left, and went in. Of course, I had him sign the glove that he ripped. He was like the Hulk.”
