Like him or loathe him, Brock Lesnar will go down in history as one of the most successful WWE Superstars of all time.
During his first run with WWE between 2002 and 2004, “The Next Big Thing” defeated high-profile names including The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle and The Undertaker, while he won the WWE Championship, King of the Ring (2002) and the Royal Rumble (2003).
After winning the UFC Heavyweight Championship in 2008, Brock Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012 and established himself as the most dominant Superstar of his generation.
Inside a WWE ring or UFC octagon, everybody knows what Brock Lesnar is all about. However, outside of his professional life, there is plenty of intrigue surrounding one of the most private people in the sports-entertainment world.

With that in mind, let’s try to answer 10 of the most frequent questions that are often asked about Brock Lesnar on Google.
#10 What is Brock Lesnar’s tattoo?
If you want more details on Brock Lesnar’s tattoos, check out Rohit Nath’s article on the meaning of the ink that the WWE Superstar has on his chest and back.
This popular question presumably refers to the giant sword that runs from Brock Lesnar’s stomach all the way up to his neck.
The man himself confirmed in his book, Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival, that he got the tattoo during the time when WWE prevented him from working for other promotions after his 2004 exit.
“I felt like life was holding a sword right up against my throat, so I went under the ink gun because I never wanted to forget exactly how I felt at that time. The tattoo on my chest has so much meaning to me. In some ways, it’s funny, because the period of my life that I’m talking about is a time I so want to forget, but I know I can use this memory as motivation.”
#9 Who is Brock Lesnar’s wife?
Brock Lesnar’s wife is former WWE performer Rena Greek (aka Sable). The ex-WWE colleagues got married on May 6, 2006 and they have two sons together (Turk and Duke).
Sable had two spells with WWE over the course of five years between 1996 and 2004, but she has not appeared on WWE programming since her husband returned in 2012.
#8 How tall is Brock Lesnar?
Whenever you type a famous person’s name into a search engine, there is a good chance that the word ‘height’ appears as one of the top searches. Brock Lesnar, needless to say, is no different.
The WWE Superstar is 1.91m (almost 6ft 3in), which makes him the same height as Bobby Lashley, Booker T, Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns.
For the record, he has weighed 286lbs for much of his career. This is far heavier than some wrestlers of the same height, including Aiden English (215lbs) and Angelico (198lbs).
#7 What is Brock Lesnar’s UFC record?
Brock Lesnar has a UFC record of five wins, three losses and one no contest. Interestingly, he has also headlined eight of the nine cards that he has fought on – a feat that not even Conor McGregor has achieved.
In June 2007, Brock Lesnar defeated Min-Soo Kim via TKO on his mixed martial arts debut, but the fight was co-promoted by Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG) and EliteXC – not UFC.
Brock Lesnar’s final UFC fight came in July 2016 when he defeated Mark Hunt at UFC 200. However, the result was later ruled as a no contest after Lesnar tested positive for clomiphene.
#6 How old is Brock Lesnar?
Brock Lesnar was born in Webster, South Dakota on July 12, 1977. That means, as of the time of writing, he is one of WWE’s most experienced Superstars at the age of 42 years old.
In previous generations, WWE Superstars over the age of 40 were considered to be at the end of their careers. This view was especially common in the 1990s when Vince McMahon chose to push younger Superstars at the start of WWE’s “New Generation” instead of the likes of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who was in his early 40s at the time.
Brock Lesnar, much like 40-year-old Randy Orton and 43-year-old AJ Styles, remains one of WWE’s top Superstars despite his advancing years.
#5 What is Brock Lesnar’s net worth?
Brock Lesnar’s net worth in 2020 is reported to be anywhere between $22 million and $28 million.
The former UFC Heavyweight Champion, who reportedly earns $12 million per year, stated in a 2016 interview on SportsCenter that his ultimate goal in WWE is to earn money.
“I couldn't even tell you where my UFC titles are or my WWE Championships or my NCAA plaque, my heavyweight plaque. I don't even know where that is right now. But I do know one thing – how much money's in my bank account.”
#4 Is Brock Lesnar friends with The Undertaker?
Ever since The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway) started to give out-of-character interviews as the real person behind his WWE persona, he has spoken very positively about Brock Lesnar.
He even confirmed in an interview with MMA reporter Ariel Helwani that his confrontation with Brock Lesnar at UFC 121 in 2010 was set up in advance and Lesnar knew that he was going to be there.
It is unknown whether the two men are friends behind the scenes, but there certainly does not seem to be any real-life animosity between the former on-screen rivals.
#3 Is Brock Lesnar a good fighter?
Simple answer: yes! Of course!
Brock Lesnar won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in his third UFC fight, just nine months after making his debut for the promotion.
When you take into account that he is also an NCAA Heavyweight Champion, with an amateur wrestling record of 106 wins and five defeats, it is safe to say that Brock Lesnar is much more than just a “good fighter”.
Along with Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey, he is widely considered to be one of the best crossover Superstars that WWE has ever seen.
#2 Is Brock Lesnar on UFC 3?
No, Brock Lesnar is not on UFC 3. The video game, created by EA Sports, was released in February 2018 and features Conor McGregor as the cover star.
Brock Lesnar’s omission from the game is likely due to his WWE contract, which sees him feature in the WWE 2K video games every year. In fact, in 2016, the promotion for the WWE 2K17 game largely revolved around Lesnar, who starred on the cover.
If gamers want to play as a WWE Superstar on UFC 3, they will have to select CM Punk or Ronda Rousey.
#1 Is Brock Lesnar going back to UFC?
It looked as though Brock Lesnar was set to return to UFC in July 2018 when he confronted Daniel Cormier at UFC 226 and made it clear that he was not impressed with the “heavyweight disasters” that he watched during the show.
After months of speculation about a potential Daniel Cormier vs. Brock Lesnar fight, UFC president Dana White told ESPN in May 2019 that Lesnar has officially retired from MMA.
“He told me he’s done. He’s retired.”
