He moved to Carolina Panthers later, but his dream of a career in football was cut short by an injury. He turned to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) while recovering from injury and would achieve fame with his newfound talent. He soon entered the World Wrestling Entertainment and had a successful and controversial career. He defeated some of the most successful wrestlers including The Rock and Lance Storm. After retiring from the ring, he took on the role of a ‘color commentator’ in MMA tournaments. He was recently inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
