Former wrestling and Ultimate Fighting Champion Brock Lesnar is facing charges under Alberta's Wildlife Act. Fish and Wildlife officers confirmed the mixed martial arts fighter has been charged with three counts in contravention to the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Act. The include improper affixation of tags, spoilage of skin and edible flesh and possession of a controlled animal.

We don't hunt, but we're guessing that's not good?

Lesnar has a big fight coming up in a couple of weeks in Vegas, but it sounds like this issue won't need to be resolved until January 19.

Lesnar did not appear in court on Thursday in Medicine Hat, Alta. We have no real joke about that. We just like to think about a place called Medicine Hat.
