Early Life and Athletic Endeavours

Lesnar’s athletic journey commenced during his high school years, where he showcased exceptional talent in wrestling and American football. His prowess on the mat earned him a scholarship to the University of Minnesota, where he clinched the NCAA Division I heavyweight wrestling championship in 2000. This achievement laid a robust foundation for his future pursuits in combat sports.

WWE Career and Achievements

In 2000, Lesnar signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), rapidly ascending to prominence due to his formidable presence and athleticism. Notable milestones in his WWE tenure include:

WWE Championship Titles: Lesnar has secured the WWE Championship multiple times, solidifying his status as a dominant force in professional wrestling.
Universal Championship Reigns: His reigns as Universal Champion have further cemented his legacy within the WWE universe.
Record-Breaking Performances: Lesnar’s matches, characterised by their intensity and high stakes, have consistently drawn significant viewership and revenue for WWE.

As of 2025, Lesnar remains one of WWE’s highest-paid performers, with an annual salary of approximately $12 million. This compensation reflects his marquee value and pivotal role in the company’s major events.

MMA Ventures and Earnings

Beyond the wrestling ring, Lesnar ventured into MMA, signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2008. His tenure in UFC was marked by significant achievements:

UFC Heavyweight Champion: Lesnar captured the UFC Heavyweight Championship, enhancing his reputation as a versatile combat sports athlete.
Financial Milestones: His fights garnered substantial pay-per-view buys, with total earnings from his UFC career estimated to exceed $13 million.

Endorsements and Business Ventures

Lesnar’s marketability extends beyond his in-ring and octagon performances. He has secured endorsements with brands such as Dymatize Nutrition and Death Clutch, contributing to his income and public profile.

Personal Life and Assets

Residing in Maryfield, Saskatchewan, Canada, Lesnar leads a life that balances public appearances with private retreats. His property portfolio includes a rural estate, reflecting his preference for seclusion away from the limelight.

Recent Developments and Future Outlook

In early 2025, Lesnar’s career faced challenges due to legal allegations, including a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant alleging sexual misconduct. These allegations have sparked debates within the wrestling community and may influence his professional trajectory and financial standing.

Despite these challenges, Lesnar’s contributions to professional wrestling and MMA have solidified his legacy as a formidable and influential figure in combat sports. As of 2025, his net worth of $20 million reflects his successful career and strategic ventures within and beyond the sporting arena.

PHOENIX– Sun Devil Baseball infielder Matt King has been named both the Big 12 Player of the Week, and Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, announced by the league office on Monday.

King posted an outrageous week, totaling a .625 batting average (10-16) with two home runs, 12 RBIs and five runs scored. He now leads the Sun Devils with a team high .416 batting average (64-154) on the season.

The multi-home run effort against BYU marked just the second time in his 203 game career between UTSA and ASU recording multiple home runs. The first time he recorded multiple home runs in a game came on April 8th against CSUN (W, 20-11).

King has racked up quite a few in-season awards as he has already been named the College Baseball HOF Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Week (April 15) and Big 12 Newcomer of the Week (March 31) prior to this week’s accolades.

Additionally, King now becomes the third player in the Big 12 to have earned two conference awards in the same week (Sawyer Strosnider, TCU; Harrison Bodendorf, Oklahoma State).

The Sun Devils will compete in five games this week, including two midweek games at home against Long Beach State before hitting the road to take on Baylor in a three-game set.

Whether it was players joining rosters or new entries into the transfer portal seeking fresh opportunities, player movement was a key storyline of the 2024 season. The second transfer window has now closed in 2025, and the focus will shift to how these movements will impact the College Football Playoff next fall.

Some players will continue to take visits and find new homes, but many teams already have made significant additions via transfers. The transfer route, though, is a two-way street, and losses can impact rosters as well — and that needs to be accounted for.

Here’s a look at the 10 teams that mastered the winter and spring portal windows to upgrade their rosters.

With only about a month until the start of the NCAA tournament, the college baseball world received some surprising news Monday.

Mississippi State coach Chris Lemonis, who led the Bulldogs to their first and only national championship in 2021, has been fired, the university announced.

Assistant coach Justin Parker will serve as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

Over his seven seasons at Mississippi State, Lemonis went 232-135, though the program’s fortunes started to wane after winning the College World Series in 2021. The Bulldogs went 114-37 in Lemonis’ first three seasons, but have gone 118-98 since and have made it back to the NCAA tournament only once. This season, they’re 25-19 overall and 7-14 in SEC play, putting them in 14th place in the 16-team league.

Despite those recent struggles, they are coming off a 40-win season in 2024 that included a trip to the regional finals of the NCAA tournament.

In a statement, Mississippi State athletic director Zac Selmon said the program has “not consistently met the standard of success that our university, fans and student-athletes expect and deserve.”

“In a team meeting moments ago, I expressed to our student-athletes the confidence we have in their abilities and the potential they have for the remainder of the season,” Selmon said in a statement. “I encouraged them to compete with pride, resilience and intensity. With the hard work, preparation and talent already within this group, we are committed to putting them in the best position to finish the season competing at the highest level. Mississippi State is the premier job in college baseball. The tradition, the facilities, the NIL offerings and the fan base are all second to none. Dudy Noble Field is the best environment in the sport, period. This program is built for success. Our history proves it, and our future demands it.”

A national search for Lemonis’ successor is underway, the university said. Lemonis was hired at Mississippi State in 2018 after a successful four-year run at Indiana in which he led the Hoosiers to the NCAA tournament three times.

Chris Lemonis contract details, buyout

Lemonis had an arrangement in which he was working under two contracts — one with the university and one with Bulldog Club, Inc., the latter of which is a non-profit organization that serves as the Mississippi State athletic department’s fundraising arm.

For the 2025 season, Lemonis was set to make $1.325 million total, with $840,000 coming from the state contract with the university and $485,000 from the Bulldog Club.

Both of Lemonis’ contracts were set to expire on June 30, 2026.

According to the terms of his deals, Lemonis is owed 75% of his remaining salary. If May 1 is used as his firing date, that buyout would come out to just shy of $1.2 million.

Lemonis’ contract includes a duty to mitigate clause, meaning the university and Bulldog Club can offset buyout money he’s set to receive based on income he receives from a new job.

Chris Lemonis record

Only one of Lemonis’ seven teams at Mississippi State finished with a losing record, though the Bulldogs had fallen off a bit after their College World Series title in 2021.
