Brock Lesnar boasted an incredible transformation for his WWE return.
It’s almost been a decade since we last saw the former UFC heavyweight champion and the WWE superstar compete in the Octagon.
In his prime, the jacked 265 lb Lesnar was one of the scariest fighters in UFC history. Lesnar’s wrestling credentials combined with his massive strength posed significant challenges for the heavyweight division where he finished the likes of Randy Couture, Frank Mir, and Shane Carwin in 2008-10.
Now 48 years old, Lesnar seemingly hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to his physique.

Brock Lesnar failed his last UFC drug test
There was a ton of controversy toward the end of Lesnar’s UFC run.
In 2016, Lesnar returned to the Octagon against Mark Hunt at UFC 200 after five years away.
Lesnar outwrestled Hunt for three rounds for a unanimous decision victory.
Lesnar’s win was later overturned to a no-contest result after a pre-fight drug test revealed Lesnar had tested positive for banned substance clomiphene and its metabolite, 4-hydroxyclomiphene.
According to USADA, Clomiphene is a prohibited substance in the category of Hormone and Metabolic Modulators and was prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
Lesnar has not fought in the UFC since his failed drug test and one-year suspension, which resulted in opponent Mark Hunt filing a lawsuit against the UFC, claiming that they knowingly let Lesnar fight while on performance-enhancing drugs.
