“You didn’t have to be the valedictorian of the class to realize that Brock Lesnar was a very exceptional athlete. It’s pretty amazing to think that a 6’3” 300lbs man is lean and as athletic as Brock Lesnar. Strong! Great agility, great quickness. I have never seen anybody as we saw in Seattle at Wrestlemania (19) attempt a shooting star press…You don’t run across too many Brock Lesnar (s) in a lifetime.” This is what WWE Hall of Famer and perhaps the most prolific pro-wrestling commentator Jim Ross had to say about former UFC heavyweight god-king Brock Lesnar way back in 2003. And it seems that these genetics have surely passed onto the 2000 NCAA D1 champion’s daughter as well!
Moreover, Lesnar’s daughter, Mya, bears an uncanny resemblance to her father—so much so that even if you had no idea who she was, you’d instantly recognize her as the daughter of the WWE and UFC superstar. The 22-year-old, a collegiate shot putter at Colorado State University, shares the same striking facial features, face shape, and pale blonde hair as her famous dad. Beyond the striking physical similarities, Mya also inherited her father’s muscular, powerful physique, though adapted to her 5’2″ frame.
A graduate of Alexandria High School, Mya has been turning heads not only for her remarkable resemblance to ‘The Beast Incarnate’ but also for breaking a shot-put record at CSU last year. Her achievements and physical likeness to Brock have caught the attention of MMA fans, especially on the UFC subreddit, where her resemblance to her father has sparked conversations. Some fans even speculated that Mya could follow in Brock’s footsteps and become a fighter, with hopes that she might one day compete in the UFC.
These viking genetics shouldn’t be wasted on other sports. She should join UFC.

After all, a fighter of Mya’s gifts and physical attributes is likely to be pretty successful in the sport if she really puts the time into training. Dana White and Co. would get an immediately marketable female fighter and would jump on the opportunity to sign her.
Moreover, because of her father, she would have access to the best training, coaching, and resources if she indeed wanted to try her hand at fighting. However, not all fans were on board with this idea, and for good reason.
Fans want to see Brock Lesnar’s daughter compete in the UFC
The OP who authored the post put up a picture of Brock next to Mya, made the case for why Mya Lesnar should fight in the UFC as her father once did: “These viking genetics shouldn’t be wasted on other sports. She should join UFC.” One Redditor marveled at just how much resemblance Mya has to her father, joking about how she so totally resembled her father that her mother’s features are absent from her: “I can’t get over the comment someone said that she looks like her mom and Dad are Brock Lesnar”.
Another fan who couldn’t get over the similarities between Brock and Mya had another amusing way to describe their uncanny resemblance: “Damn, she really is just Brock with a wig”. One fan disagreed with the OP and most other fans’ sentiment and pointed out that if Mya wanted to become a professional athlete, she had far better-paying sports to go into rather than MMA with its fighter pay issues: “Why would she waste her unreal genetics in the low-paying UFC? She probably has an open invitation to join the WWE whenever she wants. Even their low-end main roster talent makes way more than the average UFC fighter and she would be a superstar”.
Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo caught strays out of nowhere as one fan, impressed with Mya’s strong and muscular frame, joked that she had a higher testosterone count in her body than former two-division champion, “She has more testosterone than Henry Cejudo”.
One fan pointed out another issue with Mya joining the UFC. Which weight class will she fight at? While there are no official sources about her weight, some reports claim that she is currently 136 pounds, and likely to fill up with age. This means there may not be a division in the UFC for her to fight in at the UFC: “There ain’t no weight class for her in the UFC” What do you think about the idea of Mya Lesnar joining the UFC?
