Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is the only man to win heavyweight titles in the NCAA, WWE and the UFC. A Minnesota national champion wrestler and WWE star, he swapped scripted fights for real ones in 2007, lost his UFC debut to a Frank Mir kneebar in 2008, then beat Heath Herring and knocked out Randy Couture that year to become UFC heavyweight champion in only his fourth pro fight.

He avenged the Mir loss at UFC 100, survived a battering from Shane Carwin to win at UFC 116, then lost the belt to Cain Velasquez while battling diverticulitis. After a loss to Alistair Overeem he went back to WWE, and his 2016 UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt was overturned after a failed drug test. CagePotato covered every Brock outburst, including the UFC 100 post-fight speech.
