Brock Lesnar was interviewed this week by TwinCities.com. During the interview, which can be read here in its entirety, Some highlights:
-- Lesnar currently weighs in at 280 pounds and plans to lose 15 pounds by August 8th, the weigh-in date before his next UFC fight the following day against Texan Heath Herring at Target Center.
-- His UFC contract requires he compete in six fights (five remaining). He said he doesn't know when or against whom his next match will be. "I can't look ahead; I thought I'd win the last match I had (he lost)," he said. "I got really anxious and made a foolish, amateur mistake."
-- Brock says he loves mixed martial arts, but would not rule out a return to professional wrestling if the price was right.
"They would have to pay me big to come back," he said. "This (Ultimate Fighting) pays good, and I'm home every night."
Brock adds, "Pro wrestling was just brutally grinding on my body. No nights off, a different city every night, a different airplane. And if I got injured, I had to be on TV the next day."
-- Comparing collegiate wrestling, pro wrestling and mixed martial arts, Lesnar said, "they're all beasts of their own. I'm probably in as good a shape as I was in college. This (ultimate fighting) is the real deal. I was an amateur wrestler for a long time and I wanted to pursue this, but the money wasn't there. Now, there's some good dough in it, and there's merchandising deals, sponsors. It's become a mainstream thing. I do it for the money; it's a business. But I enjoy it, too."
