Brock Edward Lesnar[3] (/ˈlɛznər/; born July 12, 1977)[3] is
an American[4] professional wrestler and former mixed martial artist,[5]
amateur wrestler, and professional American football player. He is signed with
WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand and is the current Universal Champion
in his first reign.[6]
In 2006, Lesnar pursued a career in mixed martial arts
(MMA), as he signed with Hero's and won his first fight, against Min-Soo Kim,
in June 2007.[12] He then signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
the following October. Lesnar lost in his UFC debut against Frank Mir and then
won his second fight against Heath Herring. In November 2008, Lesnar defeated
Randy Couture to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Shortly after a
successful title defense in a rematch with Mir, Lesnar was sidelined due to
diverticulitis. He would return at UFC 116 to defeat Interim UFC Heavyweight
Champion Shane Carwin and unify the heavyweight championships, becoming the
Undisputed Heavyweight Champion in the process. Lesnar then lost the championship
to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121. In 2011, he was once again sidelined due to
diverticulitis and underwent surgery.[13] Lesnar returned at UFC 141 in
December, losing to Alistair Overeem and promptly retiring from MMA.[14] Lesnar
was a box office sensation in UFC, as he took part in a some of the best
selling pay-per-view events in UFC history, including UFC 100 and UFC 116.[15]
In April 2012, Lesnar once again returned to professional
wrestling, rejoining WWE after an eight-year hiatus. Two years later, at
WrestleMania XXX, Lesnar defeated The Undertaker to end his undefeated streak
at WrestleMania. He achieved world champion status twice since his return,
having won the then-WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2014 and the
Universal Championship in 2017.
