Brock Lesnar if nothing else showed the Ultimate Fighting Championship what was possible.
The hulking Webster, South Dakota, native parlayed his superstardom in World Wrestling Entertainment into an extended run as MMA’s biggest box-office draw, as he cut down legends, captured the UFC heavyweight championship, broke records on pay-per-view and made millions in prize money. Though Lesnar’s stay in mixed martial arts was brief -- he fought just nine times -- and was interrupted by a life-threatening bout with diverticulitis, no one can deny the impression he made. Now 39, he returned to a part-time gig with the WWE after his victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200 was overturned and changed to a no-contest in light of a positive test for clomiphene.
