Here are some highlights of what Lesnar said about:
Training To Fight Overeem: “We’ve studied Alistair and tried to figure out his tendencies,” Lesnar said. “There are a lot of different things to look at. I know I have to perform to the best of my capabilities to beat him. We’ve had a successful camp, injury free, and hopefully by the time we’re in Las Vegas, no stones have been unturned. You never know until you get into the octagon, though. Anything can happen.”
Working With WWE Again: “I was recently asked to be on a WWE Legends video game, and when I did it rumors sprouted I was coming back,” Lesnar said. “I’m an ultimate fighter. I know [pro wrestling’s] always there. If the organization sees business to be made off me, I don’t think anyone in their right mind would turn down money, do you?”
