Brock Lesnar is firmly out of the spotlight nowadays, and many believe he is actually retired after he was mentioned in Janel Grant’s shocking lawsuit. However, despite his reputation being tarnished, he almost certainly could return to the world of MMA, given that so many organizations need big-name fighters.
And now, proposing a fight that very few thought could ever happen, Eric Esch, better known as Butterbean, has stated in an interview with Justin Barrasso that he wants to fight the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, claiming that he could knock him out despite being 58 years old.
Butterbean first made his name via the toughman scene, and due to his knockout power, distinctive look, and outgoing personality, he soon transcended combat sports and became a celebrity. This would famously see him work a worked-shoot fight for WWE with Marc Mero in 1997 and then a legit bout with Bart Gunn at WrestleMania XV, which is still remembered to this day. Additionally, he appeared on several television shows and had a role in “Jackass: The Movie,” fighting Johnny Knoxville in a department store.
