Brock Lesnar hands in comparison to Andre the Giant
Professional wrestling legend Andre the Giant, real name André René Roussimoff, was said to be approximately 555lbs at the time of his death in 1993.
Roussimoff was known for his great size, which was a result of gigantism caused by excess growth hormones.
Because of his massive frame at 7’4″ tall, Roussimoff was known as “the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Andre the Giant’s hands measured sixteen inches, which many were astounded by upon finding out, especially in comparison to other big men like Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar, also a former WWE champion himself, is one of the largest men to have ever competed in the UFC octagon.
Lesnar is one of two fighters in UFC history who needed custom gloves when he stepped in the octagon for competition. He would need 4XL gloves, while Shane Carwin needed 5XL.
A photo of Brock Lesnar comparing his hand to Andre the Giant’s handprint circulated on the web several years ago. See photo at the top of the article.
“The Beast Incarnate” Lesnar is a seven-time, WWE Championship, three-time Universal Championship, 2002 King of the Ring tournament winner, 2019 Money in the Bank match winner, and 2003 and 2022 Royal Rumble match winner.
