Brock Lesnar ready for battle

Brock Lesnar made his WWF television debut on March 18, 2002, where he became one of the young phenoms in the sport. At the age of 25, Brock Lesnar became the youngest to the WWE champion while assuming the villain role in the company.

Lesnar was like no other as his physique separated him from other WWE superstars and became attractive to a fan base. In 2008 Lesnar made the transition from the WWE to UFC in the heavyweight division.

Lesnar immediately became most hyped UFC fighter in the history of the sport, which rubbed some long-time MMA fans and fighters the wrong way. Lesnar made his MMA debut in UFC 81 vs Frank Mir were lost via armbar.

Lesnar's MMA career was more predicated on popularity instead of skill which attributed to him becoming the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Some fighter envied his success in the promotion but things began to change when he started failing drug tests.

He recently got popped for his second failed test after his latest victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200, which was changed to a No contest result. This validated many doubters thoughts of how much of a fraud he is after the results of his test were finalized. No one knows what's next for the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.

But as he said, “I’m a jacked up white boy – deal with it!”
