After a successful wrestling career, Lesnar was given the  chance to be a part of UFC in 2007. His first MMA bout was against Frank Mir at UFC 81 which Lesnar lost via  submission. It wasn’t a very good start given that he had a lot of hype coming into the promotion. However, he came back from the loss and went on a four fight win streak. He beat heavyweight legends such as Heath Herring, Randy Couture, Shane Carwin in his undefeated streak. He also took revenge on Frank Mir at UFC 100 and this time Lesnar knocked out Mir in the second round.

However, after that Lesnar couldn’t continue his form and consecutively get TKOed in two fights against Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem. After that he took a long break and came back in 2016 to fight Mark Hunt but the fight was overturned as Lesnar was tested positive for clomiphene. In his small MMA career, Lesnar fought 9 UFC bouts and had a record of 5-3.
