Brock Lesnar is a relative newcomer to MMA, but has a very decorated NCCA wrestling career, winning numerous Big Ten and All American awards. He also was a 2000 heavyweight champion with a career record of 106-5. Many know him because of his professional wrestling background in the WWE, but he is truly a talented overall fighter with a blend power, athleticism and raw size.

Lesnar got started in MMA after getting injured training with the Minnesota Vikings and decided he was not done with sports. So he began talks with promoters on getting a chance to fight and prove his worth. His first shot was in K-1 at Dynamite USA in 2007. He defeated his opponent in 1 minute, 8 seconds by TKO after a takedown and vicious ground and pound. His next fight was against Heath Herring, a decent heavyweight from PrideFC. Lesnar easily controlled the fight both standing, and on the ground. He would win the decision after a brutal 3 rounds.

He would go on to lose to Frank Mir via knee bar at his next UFC event, but the loss was obviously not taken in vane and used what he learned to defeat UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture at UFC 91. He will again face Frank Mir for the UFC Heavyweight title a UFC 98.
