From 2000-2001 he was on a 19 month winning streak; beating such greats as Stephan Leko, Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, and Fransico Filho.

He was the favorite to win the '01 K-1 World Grand Prix.

In the first round of the tournament by random drawing he faced UFC fighter Mark Hunt (http://www.ufc.com/fighter/mark-hunt)

Le Banner had already beaten Hunt before.

Bodybuilder? yes, he was lifting weights (like most athletes), but I seriously doubt he was a bodybuilder.

punching another man senseless is easy - once you've endured the true war that is a bodybuilding show.

He is a shell of  his former self now.

10 years past his prime.

After the '02 Final where Ernesto Hoost broke his elbow he was never the same.

Had several major surgeries to repair it, but was only 60-70% of the fighter he once was.
