Brock Lesnar knows a thing or two about being a physically gifted alpha athlete who just seems to be bigger, stronger and better than the rest of the opposition.
Whether he was winning NCAA titles, hoisting the professional wrestling world on his back or capturing the UFC heavyweight belt in only his fourth pro fight, Lesnar has been a giant among men.
So it's understandable that he sees a lot of the same attributes that made him so good inside Ronda Rousey, who has been equally devastating during her UFC career.
She was the first woman from the United States to win an Olympic medal in judo before becoming the inaugural UFC women's bantamweight champion a title she's yet to relinquish through six title defenses.
As dominant as Rousey has been dispatching her past four opponents in a combined 130 seconds, Lesnar says that's also part of the problem she's facing in her career while trying to create a legacy before she leaves the sport of MMA behind.
"She's a super athlete in a weak division. I really do," Lesnar said while appearing on ESPN on Tuesday. "She is a man amongst women in the women's division. I take my hat off to her."
