The American appeared on the wrestling scene back in 2002 thanks to his gigantic frame when he debuted on SmackDown as Deacon Batista.
The legendary heavyweight then changed his name to Batista and won six world titles defeating wrestling greats such as John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, Randy Orton and many others.
For most of his wrestling career, the former WWE Champion weighed around 290lbs (21st), with his heaviest weight ever reaching a whopping 370lbs (26st).
However, the former heavyweight champion of the world lost everything for his latest appearance in The Killer’s Game, dropping to 240lbs (17st).
