"Success is a combination of effort, talent and hard work. There's got to be hard work and mental toughness. It's not just one thing that gets you there it's an accumulation of things"
~ Brock Lesnar
World-famous pro wrestler and former MMA heavyweight champion.
Brock and Lesner, Hmm, these are the perfect words to describe someone like Brock Lesnar -- how did his parents come up with such a name? Well, mommy knows the best so...
Perhaps Brock's parents had seen something in him even when he was a wee baby. Perhaps this mystery will never be solved, therefore we will focus on the next best thing -- which is Brock Lesnar's real height.
Unfortunately (we love to solve a real height mystery) there is no real mystery here. WWE used to list Brock's height at a perfectly good, perfectly acceptable (for a pro wrestler) height of 6-feet-3 inches.
But after carefully examing his height and comparing it to that of a few other interesting people, we think that Brock might be closer in height to the other 6-feet-2 inches tall wrestlers like Triple H and Goldberg than to 6-feet-3 inches tall wrestlers like The Rock and Batista.
In MMA, Brock Lesnar looked no more or less than 2 inches taller than a 6-feet Cain Velasquez, so there is that as well. After many more such height comparisons, we are more convinced than ever that Brock belongs to the elite 6'2" neighborhood.
Brock is a freak of nature who weighed 300 lb (136 kg) most of the time early in his career -- and almost all of it was muscles.
The real height of Brock Lesnar is
6'2" or 188 cm
