Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is known to be an avid sportsman, both inside and outside of the cage.
Following his first-round TKO loss to Cain Velasquez, who snatched the crown from Lesnar in October of last year, the native of North Dakota wasted little time in taking pleasures in the simple things.
Just a month later, Lesnar, who still had his Rocky-esque beard going, took to Alberta, Canada, in order to hunt for Mule Deer—prized deer who are indigenous to Western North America, with the adults weighing upwards of 300 pounds.
UFC President Dana White has talked in the past about Lesnar’s competitive nature, proclaiming that their heavyweight star is truly one of a kind.
“He’ll fight as much as we want him to fight. This guy just wants to fight, but he says ‘I need September and October off—it’s hunting season'”, said White during an interview with the popular Opie and Anthony Radio Show, based out of New York City.
“Joe Rogan always says this, it’s so funny, he’s like ‘this guy, when he’s not smashing people in the cage, he’s killing animals!'”
“Brock Lesnar is not like any other guy that I’ve ever met, he’s really not.”
“He probably just punches the animals, too. No gun, no bow and arrow, just walks up and belts the deer in the head,” speculated co-host Anthony Cumia.
The video takes place nearly a year ago, though details how serious Lesnar takes up his extracurricular activities.
Let’s hope he can prepare just as vigorously for his next outing, as the former UFC champ will take on K-1 and Strikeforce veteran Alistair Overeem in a blockbuster matchup come this December at UFC 141, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
