WWE superstar Brock Lesnar had a short but highly entertaining run in the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion. A former NCAA Division I heavyweight wrestling championship victor, Lesnar entered the octagon with more than a pro-wrestling background. The wrestler turned fighter would go on to face some seriously tough opponents inside the heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
In the end, Lesnar made his way to the top of the weight class and earned the UFC heavyweight title. After facing a two fight losing streak, with losses to Alistair Overeem and Cain Velasquez, the former champion was set to face off against Mark Hunt. However, things would then take an unexpected turn.
Lesnar was flagged by USADA for an anti-doping policy violation leading into has match up against Mark Hunt at UFC 200. The two heavyweight warriors would go on to battle it out, but the fight was ultimately ruled a no contest due to the violations. Lesnar has since returned to his position as a superstar for the WWE.
Here is a look at the former UFC champion’s physique both before and after failing his USADA drug test under the UFC banner.
