Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has always been a freak of nature.
In honor of Lesnar’s 40th birthday, in the gif below, you can see Lesnar’s transformation from a high school wrestler, to WWE star, to UFC champion, all the way back to the WWE.
Lesnar made his first appearance on WWE programming back in 2002. Just months after debuting, Lesnar became the youngest WWE champion of all time when he won the title at age 24.
Lesnar’s first stint in the WWE did not last long. He left the wrestling promotion in 2004.
Shortly after leaving the world of professional wrestling, Lesnar began competing in mixed martial arts.
In 2008, Lesnar made his UFC debut. In just his third fight in the promotion, Lesnar won the UFC Heavyweight Championship. He went on to defend the title on two separate occasions.
In 2012, Lesnar returned to the WWE, where he still competes to this day. He currently holds the WWE Universal Championship.
Despite being in the WWE, Lesnar made one more appearance in the UFC. Last July, Lesnar fought Mark Hunt at UFC 200. Lesnar had originally won the fight, but it was later overturned into a no-contest after Lesnar tested positive for banned substances.
