‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar has been one of the biggest names in combat sports, starting his amateur journey with college wrestling, before making a transition to professional wrestling and MMA as well. Meanwhile, speaking on his podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg named a female WWE superstar who highly reminds him of The Beast. Dogg also revealed he highly respects the former UFC world champion.

On the latest episode of "Oh, You Didn't Know?" the WWE Hall of Famer said, “I've said this before; I think some of her work as of late, actually, is some of her best stuff. She reminds me of Brock Lesnar with her selling. A lot of her selling for Raquel Gonzalez and stuff like that, she took a beating, and I don't know, she has kind of earned my respect, especially in the squared circle."

Meanwhile, Rodd went on to reveal how he was blown away by watching the progress made by Ronda since making her debut at WrestleMania 34. At the PPV, Ronda teamed up with Kurt Angle in a match against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. He further added that Ronda flawlessly transformed from making a living out of hurting people inside the ring in UFC to perfectly selling fights in pro wrestling.

She has blown me away ever since. She wants her stuff to be good. She really wants it," continued Brian James. "And for somebody to come from, like, I don't know, from a legitimate sports standpoint, to come from somewhere and be really good at what I did is impressive to me. Like, you could really beat me up right now but want to learn how to not do that and make it look good,” Road Dogg added.
