He left the WWE in 2004 and travelled to Japan to wrestle for New Japan Pro Wrestling. While in Japan he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Lesnar retired from professional wrestling to pursue a career in the UFC.

He released a tout and said that he was quitting the WWE because he had conquered everything in the WWE.[13]
He returned to the WWE again on January 28, 2013 and delivered an F5 to Vince McMahon as McMahon was about to fire Paul Heyman. The F5 resulted in McMahon's pelvis breaking.[14]

He represented Canada during the fight and would defeat Mark Hunt by unanimous decision and recieved $2.5 million.[16] The win would later be turned into a no contest and he would be suspended after USADA tests revealed clomifene in his system.[17] Lesnar never paid the fine and retired afterwards.[18][19]
