Although Brock only had one pro fight before entering the UFC, he was not given an easy first fight.
Taking on former champion Frank Mir, Lesnar dominated the fight until he got caught in a knee bar.
Lesnarโs second UFC fight played out much like the first one, only Lesnar dominated and beat Heath Hearing.
After the fight Lesnar yelled out to the crowd, โCan you see me now!โ
This was Lesnarโs moment that showed he had arrived.ย
"I Am Blessed by God"

Following a year long layoff due to a battle with diverticulitis, Brock would make his return at UFC 116.
Shane Carwin was Lesnar biggest threat at the time due to his KO power.
Carwin had Lesnar hurt badly, and the fight could have been stopped at any moment in the first round.
Lesnar regained his composure and took advantage of Carwin being gassed out. Lesnar won the match by submission in the second round.
After the fight, Lesnar was very humble thanking friends, family, and trainers. Lesnar then stated, โI am blessed by God.โ
Lesnar will need another blessing as he will have to undergo another bout with the diverticulitis.ย

Fast forward to UFC 121.ย
Brock may not have had the mariachi band playing, but he did say something disrespectful about Cain's Mexican heritage.ย
In one of the interviews leading up to the fight Brock said, "When I get done whooping his ass, Iโm gonna go drink a Corona and eat a burrito just for yourย Hispanicย heritage.โ
Brock would have to eat those words as he lost to Cain by TKO in the first round.
The Ultimate Fighter, Chicken Salad
5 of 6
Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos have been two of the most respectful coaches on The Ultimate Fighter.
They have had little interaction with each other, and when theyโre in the same room with Dana White, theyโre usually agreeing on something.
Brock and his team members are another issue.
Although Brock has tried to encourage the team by saying they can turn nothing into something or โChicken s*** into chicken salad,โ some of the Team Lesnar members havenโt taken kindly to being called chicken s***.
โThis Isnโt the End of My Fighting Careerโ

The news that Brock will have to undergo a second battle with diverticulitis came as a shock.ย
After the first round with the disease, Brock changed his diet and tried to do everything right to avoid it happening again.ย
Now that it has come back, many are wondering if Brock will be able to fight again.ย
Brock remains opptimistic about the situation.ย
"I'll tell you one thing. I'm not retiring," Lesnar said.
"This isn't the end of my fight career. This is something that I believe that there is a solution to every problem. I just have to find the right solution to fix this problem."
