Mya Lesnar, daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar, is making her own mark in the athletic world, clearly benefiting from her father`s formidable genes. She recently achieved a significant milestone by winning her fourth consecutive shot put title.
While her father, Brock Lesnar, is widely recognized for his impactful career in combat sports and professional wrestling, Mya has forged her own path in track and field. A successful student-athlete at Colorado State University, the 23-year-old claimed her latest gold medal at the Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships, showcasing elite-level athleticism.
Fan Reactions to Mya Lesnar`s Success
Mya`s athletic achievements and striking resemblance to her famous father have not gone unnoticed by UFC fans, leading to a variety of online reactions. Many fans were particularly struck by her powerful build and likeness to Brock, affectionately giving her nicknames and speculating about her future career possibilities.
“Her smile is infectious. Hope she keeps winning,” one fan remarked, highlighting her positive presence.
“Bruh. I know the first daughter gets more genes from the father but my lord,” another commented, emphasizing her strong inherited traits.
“Viking woman. Bring her to WWE pronto,” one fan enthusiastically suggested, seeing potential for a wrestling career.
“There’s no way Brock could ever deny that’s his child,” a fourth fan noted, pointing out the undeniable family resemblance.
“Strong viking blood,” another agreed, reinforcing the connection to her powerful father.
The discussion also veered towards the possibility of Mya pursuing combat sports or professional wrestling careers, fueled by her athletic background.
“She must train MMA,” one fan said hopefully.
“Future WWE world champion/Hall of Famer. I’m calling it today,” another fan boldly predicted her potential success in WWE.
Previously, there was fan interest in a potential contest between Mya and Bella Mir, daughter of Frank Mir, especially after Bella signed a NIL deal with the UFC in 2023. However, Mya has consistently focused on her successful career in track and field.
Could Brock Lesnar Make a Return to MMA?
Separate from Mya`s achievements, speculation about Brock Lesnar himself returning to combat sports occasionally surfaces, particularly given the increasing influence of significant investors in the MMA landscape.
Recent high-profile events, such as the bout between strongmen Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski, have opened discussions about potential crossover fights involving big names. Brock Lesnar`s name has been brought up as a possible future opponent for Eddie Hall, suggesting that while a return might seem unlikely, it`s not an idea entirely dismissed in the ever-evolving world of combat sports entertainment.
