Brock Lesnar, a former NCAA heavyweight champion for the University of Minnesota and former pro wrestler, has joined the UFC, it was announced on Saturday.
On UFC.com, UFC president Dana White said, “I don’t think there are any other pro wrestlers that can make the transition to MMA, except for Brock Lesnar. And if you look at his amateur wrestling credentials, his size, and what he’s done, this guy can end up being a force in the heavyweight division of the UFC.”
Lesnar is 1-0 in MMA with a dominating win over Min Soo Kim in June.
