Biography

Lesnar is new to the sport, but boy has he made a big splash quickly. Before gaining prominence in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Lesnar was an accomplished amateur wrestler winning the 2000 NCAA wrestling championship and placing second in 1999, losing in the finals to New England Patriots offensive lineman Stephen Neal.

In WWE, Lesnar was the 2002 King of the Ring, and the winner of the 2003 Royal Rumble. He is also a three-time WWE Champion. After leaving WWE in 2004, Lesnar pursued a career in the NFL. He played during the preseason for the Minnesota Vikings, but ended up being a late cut. Lesnar returned to professional wrestling at the end of 2005, and joined New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in his first wrestling match since leaving the WWE. He was stripped of the title in July 2006, although he held the physical belt until June 2007.

Lesnar started a career in Mixed Martial Arts and had his first fight in June 2007. He then signed with the UFC in October 2007 and lost his first UFC fight to Frank Mir. In his third UFC bout he came back to the ring even stronger and defeated Randy Couture, while looking to powerful for anyone in the Heavyweight division. His next fight will be against Frank Mir to unify the Heavyweight belt and to see who the real champion is. Notable Wins: Randy Couture, Heath Herring
