Brock Lesnar and the 25 Scariest Fighters in MMA
Brock Lesnar is one of the scariest looking fighters in MMA. However, he's just one of the many intimidating figures that prowl the cage.
Of course, when you're in a sport where the two opponents are essentially trying to rearrange each others' faces and make them cry daddy, would you expect anything else?
So, if you were in a dark alley at night, which of these fighters would you least like to see staring you down?
25. Melvin Guillard
1 of 25
With a nickname like "The Young Assassin," you know he's not a fighter you want to mess around with.
Take away the bleached hair and you have one intimidating looking guy.
24. Sean Sherk
2 of 25
Sean Sherk looks like he's pumped full of steroids. After all, he is nicknamed the Muscle Shark.
You better watch out if he kicks into 'roid rage. Not the type of person I'd want to run into.
23. B.J. Penn
3 of 25
B.J. Penn seems like an easy going guy, but come fight night, he turns on a switch and kicks up the intensity.
His stare down is stuff of legend and when he smacks his head after a win he just looks crazy.

22. Hector Lombard
4 of 25
Hector Lombard—current middleweight champion of the Bellator Fighting Championships—looks incredibly intense at all times and not someone you would want to trifle with.
21. Marvin Eastman
5 of 25
Marvin Eastman "The Beastman" is actually a corrections officer who happens to also fight.
The fact that he deals with convicted felons only raises the level of intimidation.
20. Chris Leben
6 of 25
Don't let the dumb hair colors fool you.
Chris Leben is one intimidating fighter and he brings a level of craziness when you look into those eyes.
19. Andrei Arlovski
7 of 25
Andrei Arlovski looks a bit like a hobo, and that actually plays to his favor.
He may not have eaten in days and he has that crazy look in his eyes like you're his next meal.
18. Herschel Walker
8 of 25
This former NFL running back great made a surprising jump over to MMA.
Herschel Walker is an athletic freak of nature and at the age of 48 he's competing in one of the most physically demanding sports in the world.
17. Dan Henderson
9 of 25
Those big ears that stick out certainly don't do Dan Henderson any favors, but he overcomes that with one mean-looking mug.
Henderson just doesn't look like a stable guy.
16. Rameau Sokoudjou
10 of 25
Rameau Sokoudjou definitely knows how to intimidate fighters when he comes into the ring. After all, he wears a Predator mask prior to his bouts.
The "African Assassin" really is an appropriate nickname for him.
15. Mikro Cro Cop
11 of 25
Mirko Cro Cop is known for his devastating kicks and it's easy to see why.
I'm not sure I've ever seen Cro Cop smirk, let alone smile. He looks all business all the time.
14. Cheick Kongo
12 of 25
Cheick Kongo is jacked. He looks like he's pure muscle from head to toe.
Standing at 6'4", Kongo towers over your average person and that definitely makes him a lot scarier when you have to look up into that intimidating stare.
13. Thiago Silva
13 of 25
Simply put, Thiago Silva looks like he just got finished doing hard time. Not for something like robbery, but more like stabbing a guy.
12. Cain Velasquez
14 of 25
I can't even tell when Cain Velasquez is smiling.
Velasquez looks serious all the time and it looks like he wants to hurt anyone standing in his way.
11. Bob Sapp
15 of 25
Bob Sapp is usually on the wrong end of many jokes, but he's an absolute freak.
Standing at 6'5" and weighing 340 lbs., Sapp is a mountain of a man.
He just looks plain crazy.
10. Alistair Overeem
16 of 25
Alistair Overeem is an absolute monster.
In terms of sheer size, he's probably the second scariest fighter on this list.
9. Fedor Emelianko
17 of 25
Fedor Emelianko is perhaps best known as arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time.
He's built like a bear and he has a stoic look on his face at all times that makes it seem as if he has no regard for human life.
8. Kimbo Slice
18 of 25
Kimbo Slice is currently trying his hand at boxing, but he'll find work back in MMA soon enough.
Slice is best known for his backyard brawls and he has death row written all over him.
He just looks like he wants to eat your children.
7. Clay Guida
19 of 25
To some, Clay Guida isn't all that scary.
When I look at him, I see a level of crazy that I can't quite put into words. He brings in the unknown factor, and that's what makes him so scary.
6. Jeff Monson
20 of 25
Jeff Monson is a self proclaimed anarchist, and while he may not look like it, he is incredibly bright.
However, that doesn't help the fact that he looks like a straight-up convict on death row.
5. Houston Alexander
21 of 25
Houston Alexander actually resembles rapper/actor Common.
However, instead of acting in movies and singing love songs, he pummels people's faces for a living.
Not to mention, he is a lot uglier and he has an intimidating stare that makes you think of bad things.
4. Keith Jardine
22 of 25
Keith Jardine looks like a serial killer. That may be the best way to describe him.
Jardine's nickname is the "Dean of Mean" and I think the picture says it all.
3. Brock Lesnar
23 of 25
Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature. Just look at the guy.
Lesnar has an imposing frame, and a face only a mother could love.
He's built like a truck and he hits just as hard.
2. Rampage Jackson
24 of 25
Rampage is probably most famous for the A-Team. But don't let the Hollywood glamour fool you—Jackson is one scary looking guy.
His stare-down could make a grown man cry and his post-fight howls make you shiver.
1. Wanderlei Silva
25 of 25
Wanderlei Silva is without a doubt the last person I'd want to be alone in a room with.
Rampage Jackson once said that he has "Cauliflower Face," and that really is the best way to describe how he looks.
He earned the nickname the "Axe Murderer" because, well, that's what he looks like.
