Brock Lesnar is one of the fiercest-looking wrestlers in WWE. But lately, he has had a casual farmer look, which makes him look less threatening but shocks the audience when he brings back his Beast mode. This look couldn’t be any more complete without his impressive beard. But while this is a new look for WWE fans, Lesnar rocked this beard in UFE all those years ago when he was the UFC World Champion.
Competing in the UFC changed the trajectory of Lesnar’s career completely. It launched him into the stratosphere of combat sports and made him an iconic figure in pop culture. His return to professional wrestling also got an enormous boost after he had proved himself to be a real fighter in front of an audience of hundreds of thousands.
Brock Lesnar once talked about his beard before his cowboy persona in WWE
In an interview with Ariel Helwani in 2011, Brock Lesnar was asked about his beard. Lesnar said, “Wintertime’s over, so it had to go. I’ve been growing the beard for the last few winters for the hunting season and fishing, and so winter’s just about over. I’m hoping for one last snowstorm though, but no, we just had to take it off.” When Helwani asked if it could come back for the next fight, Lesnar replied, “No. No, I don’t think so. I think it took me like four months, maybe to grow one, but I appreciate the people enjoying the beard, though.”

While in the UFC, looks don’t get major attention, Lesnar’s beard was a prized possession of the Beast Incarnate. Bringing that to WWE rejuvenated the interest of the audience in his career. Initially, his farmer look got an array of mixed reactions. But, now the WWE fans absolutely love it. While we can only guess why he grew it back, we have a theory.
Now, Lesnar is a citizen of Canada and the winters in Canada rarely leave all around the year. So, this might have given Lesnar a simple reason to grow the beard back. In this new bearded persona, Lesnar is currently in a great rivalry with Bobby Lashley and we can’t wait for the conclusion of their trilogy this year.
