The culprit behind his signature scar is none other than Cain Velasquez, a former heavyweight champ.
Their clash at UFC 121 in 2010 marked a pivotal moment in their rivalry. Velasquez, renowned for his relentless stamina and boxing-inspired technique, delivered a masterful performance.

He pummeled Lesnar with a barrage of strikes, causing the infamous gash in the first round. The onslaught continued, culminating in Velasquez’s TKO victory, leaving Lesnar battered and marked, both physically and mentally.
Yet, this scar didn’t define Lesnar’s story—it fueled his resurgence. In their rematch at UFC 123, Lesnar reclaimed his heavyweight crown, proving that the “Beast” within him remained untamed despite Velasquez’s onslaught.
While fans may see the scar as a symbol of Lesnar’s resilience, it stands as a lasting testament to the night Velasquez demonstrated that even the mighty “Beast” could bleed.
