Brock Lesnar: 10 Jobs He Could Do Outside the UFC

You may have heard something about this MMA fighter Brock Lesnar. He just retired from the sport. You may also be aware that there are strong opinions of him out there. Maybe you hold one of those opinions. Maybe you thought he was good at MMA. Or maybe you thought he was bad. Maybe you thought he was underrated, overrated, good champ, bad champ, a jerk, misunderstood, a showman, awesome, a license to print money, the devil incarnate, a piece of a glacier that broke off and learned how to walk and feed itself and I'll stop there.

The guy wears a lot of hats. He's a man of many parts. I have a feeling he's going to be just fine in his golden years here. So what will he do? Here are 10 ideas.         

10. Professional Wrestler

All right, let's get the obvious one out of the way.

9. Hunter

All right, two obvious ones.

8. Movie Actor

You know what cracks me up? When someone tries to say Brock Lesnar doesn't like publicity. I know he lives and trains in the middle of nowhere and so on. But come on. This guy LOVES the spotlight.

Maybe not all the time. And maybe he doesn't "act" like he likes it. But when the spotlight is on Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar sucks that crap up with a straw.

It's so easy to see how self-aware he is. He loves walkin' around, being the baddest SOB on the planet, slappin' grannies with his pinkie-ring hand or whatever it is he likes to do. In short, he loves being Brock Lesnar. And sooner or later, you're going to have to let the horse eat.

Anyway, yeah, I think he'd be good in a movie. I'd watch it, why not?

7. Tea Party Activist

Lesnar is an unabashed conservative Republican. Anything wrong with that? Nope. Nothing wrong with that. So why not fly your flag, Brock? You could write a column for a website, or go on TV or do whatever you want. I bet folks would love to have you in any capacity you wished to offer.

6. Deodorant Spokesperson

I think this guy (aka Terry Crews) has run his course. Sorry, Terry. But it's time for a little Brock. It's pretty easy to picture him kicking over buildings and shouting, "p-p-p-p-POWER!!!" For me, anyway.

5. A Wrestling Coach

I believe that, at a minimum, his alma mater Minnesota (where he won a national title) would accept such a proposal.

4. Founder and CEO of National Pro-Bullying Program

So many MMA fighters have spoken out on bullying and are working with kids and doing stuff to help empower them. And so I ask you: What about the bullies, man? Who's looking out for their interests? Who is standing up in the darkness and giving them a voice? I'll tell you who. It's Brock Lesnar.  

3. Farmhand

He grew up on a dairy farm in South Dakota. Put this boy to work!

2. Broadcaster

Remember what I said earlier about him loving the limelight? Lesnar's not a dumb guy, and whether anyone likes it or not, he lights up in front of a microphone. I could see him becoming something akin to what Bob Knight is right now to college basketball telecasts: irascible, insightful, brutally honest, slyly funny.

Did I say this one already? Huh.
