Brock Lesnar has given an incredible insight into his ‘powerful’ experience of meeting the legendary Muhammad Ali.

The pair of heavyweight icons have established their places as two of the biggest names in combat sports history.

(L-R) Brock Lesnar faces off against Cain Velasquez before the heavyweight title bout during UFC 121 on October 23, 2010 in Anaheim, California.

Brock Lesnar had an amazing experience with Muhammad Ali

During his time in both WWE and the UFC, Brock Lesnar has cemented his status as one of the most terrifying competitors of all time.

Blessed with ferocious strength and top-level wrestling, the American is renowned for destroying his opponents, whether it’s in the ring or cage.


But long before Lesnar ever set foot in a gym, Muhammad Ali had already carved out a legacy that no professional fighter is ever likely to transcend.

Renowned for his incredible movement, and amusing trash talk, the boxing star changed the game, paving the way for charismatic operators to entertain on the mic.

WOW: Dan Hooker is flying out to Spain to see Conor McGregor and check if ‘he’s interested in a fight’

But according to Lesnar, behind the bravado stood a gracious character, who gave him a handshake he’ll never forget.

In an interview with ESPN, he reminisced: “I got to meet [Muhammad] Ali one time. All I remember when I met and shook the man’s hand was, he never talked, at that point the illness had taken over, but I just remember when he extended his hand, he didn’t have to say anything to me.
