When Brock Lesnar Left WWE For UFC - How Did He Do?
Ойын-сауық
In 2004 Brock Lesnar departed WWE in hopes of making the NFL. When that didn't happen he went to New Japan for a short time before making the move to the MMA world. It was his time in the MMA world that proved just how much of a freak athlete Brock was and just what he could do with limited experience, the beast incarnate dominated the sport in a short amount of time and proved the doubters wrong. In this short documentary, we take a look back at how a "fake fighter" went on to become a legitimate badass.

Brock’s health failed him. He’s one of the better heavyweights in the history of the UFC. He was a mega star before Ronda and Connor. He also beat a couple of legends. And Shane Carwin was a killer when Brock ran into him. Cain is arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time ( at least somewhere in the top 3 or 4) and Brock was a shell of himself especially with the guy issues.

Brock Lesnar is a strong, athletically gifted genetic freak who truly embodies the qualities of a once in a lifetime generational talent.
I always think what if a 23 year old Lesnar was trying UFC after winning his NCAA championship. I mean when you closely look, Lesnar in his mid 20's weighing 290-295lbs was even faster than the 265lbs lesnar in UFC. Lesnar was 275lbs when he won the NCAA in 2000 and was crazy fast and strong. Lesnar at 31, mentioned before his 3rd UFC fight that he was much stronger 10 years back! ...265lbs 23 year old young lesnar fighting in UFC would have been something extremely crazy!!
Brock Lesnar will forever be one hell of a beast in the world of sports. There truly is no one else like him. He makes everything shown incredibly interesting and real simply by presence alone and always whooped ass whether he won or lost. His UFC run definitely helped him out big time and while it’s not perfect, it was amazing for building him up as the biggest badass ever. Truly a GOAT for sports.✊

I feel after his MMA run, he became a much more feared man in the business. Hats off to Brock Lesnar for shutting all his hater's mouth and proving himself as THE BEAST INCARNATE 👹🔥

Brock just a legend in general
If Brock wasn’t sick and trained at a better gym he would probably be the heavyweight goat. His physique and athleticism was so overwhelming but his skill was lacking. He was also scared of sparring so he didn’t develop his striking to be as great as it could’ve been. Still a great career for what it was but it could’ve been sooo much better.

Leaving WWE and eventually landing with UFC was the best move he ever made to solidify his name as a true badass. Most professional wrestling fans know this sport has scripted results, but it's still entertaining to watch and talk about as if it's a legitimate physical contact sport. Also, just heading to the UFC wouldn't be enough for Brock if he didn't do well, and he did very well.
If Brock started MMA at a young age, he would've absolutely been one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

If Brock Lesnar had gone into MMA right out of college and really learned how to strike, he would've been the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time. The fact that he had a pretty successful career in the UFC with minimal MMA experience is extremely impressive

I can't stand when people in the mma community come for Brock. he had one of the most impressive careers in the sport and did it in a very short time. This ain't no CM Punk shit, he was one of the baddest dudes on the planet and he showed it.

I gotta agree that Brock Lesnar is the biggest what if. Like what if he started mma early instead of pro wrestling especially since he won NCAA national wrestling championship where a lot of wrestlers actually transition to mma like Randy Couture, Daniel Cormier, Cain Velasquez, etc. And he had 2 potential fights that never materialize like Brock vs Fedor and Brock vs DC.
Loved watching this video about what a true generic freak Brock Lesnar truely is.I will always have respect for him as a athlete.He is always a top 10 wrestler/mma fighter in my eyes.
Holy fuck Brock is legit awesome love that he admitted drugs were his closest friend and enemy that shit hit deep especially when you see where he is now after coming back from a stomach disease that almost killed him

3:25 one of the things that held him back was that he supposedly hated taking punches and barely sparred as a result. Another point in his favor was the failure of Greg Hardy. Hardy was a similar elite level pro athlete who had been an all-pro in the NFL. To be fair to Hardy, though, the technique of heavyweights was significantly better in his era so he had a lot more of a skill gap to make up than Brock did. In Brock's era heavyweights were fairly basic skill wise.
Weird 50 cent name drop in there
Also when lesnar beat carwin he won with a arm triangle choke not a triangle choke
What a surprise “free health care” almost killed a guy
Everybody forgot about shamrock and Dan Severn huh
When my gull bladder burst I throw up for days till I was bleeding xc. So ik how that would feel.
Remember, they don’t call him “The Beast Incarnate” for nothing
brock lesnar is Caustic with movement ...scary as fuck to see something that big coming at you in full momentum
He'd get rolled in the heavyweight division now
Glad Cain V beat him!! Humble him some. And there's always someone bigger and better! "There's always a bigger fish"
He is truly the alpha male of our species
I'm just going to say this if it wasn't for Lesnar UFC wouldn't exist wwe could have actually bought UFC back in 2008 hell Shane o Mac even pitched the idea to Vince just for Vince to say no to him as Vince didn't think UFC was going to be as big as it became
Brock Lesnar conquered all sports from wrestling, football, MMA, movies sideline .....
Even without diverticulitis, there was no way Brock would've withstood getting body kicked by a gassed up Ubereem, because Alistair's PED regimen made his look tame by comparison, and he was a K-1 Grand Prix champion to boot.
Brock is the man
The story behind (what if ) he was backstage and he ask taker and he told him you don’t want to ask yourself when you be 40 y what if I did that and i didn’t do that
Always brock lesnar fan
8:28 he did what?
Hold tf up Brock lesnar went to Bismarck? Hell yea
He did something that even Johnny sins can’t do . My favourite wrestler is off the charts
The man got wins and a championship at one point. He might of finished 5-3, but compare him to the poser CM Punk, and he was light years ahead.
he had wrestling expierence, I wouldn't say he was a complete noob, he's also a legit athlete
Bro imagine knowing a guy just had a severe surgery and intentionally kicking him right tf where he got it, seeing him halt all functionality and fucking wailing on him whoever tf that was is going to hell for sure
Dude dominated UFC rings and WWE rings like nothing

If there's quote, "Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne" Then I got one better, "HOLY SHIT, IT'S COWBOY BROCK FUCKING LESNAR." you say that out of both respect as an attendant and fear of what he'll do if he's hunting for you.
Very silly question.
Honestly he lost unfairly to Alister
So I'm both an mma and pro wrestling fan. I simply think Brock was pretty overrated. As soon as he faught the new generation of heavyweights he got figured out and his weaknesses were too much to overcome and he knew it. Brock for sure is the best pro wrestler coming to mma, he was a big draw and catapulted his own career with this move. But I think a lot of pro wrestling circles talk about Lesnar like he was an amazing fighter, both skill and athletics.
Hreat video but i think you are underplaying Lesnars technique here. Sure his striking was mediocre at best but his wrestling was top notch. You dont become ncaa champ just with size.
Wait brock bought us to the UFC......I guess you young guys never heard of KEN SHAMROCK.....
And when he came back, he basically ruined everything great about WWE since he ended the Streak.
