We’re going to find out the real competitive side of Brock Lesnar here, White said following Lesnar’s one-sided technical knockout loss to the unbeaten Cain Velasquez in the UFC 121 headliner I have a feeling, knowing him, his plans are going to be cut short. I think obviously he’s going to go hunting and spend some time with his family, but I think we’ll see him back a lot sooner than what we had planned.
“Whoever wins, wins. I don’t look at how he is a huge draw and we should do this or that.”
“This is mixed martial arts, and every dog has his day. Tonight was his day. I think people are always going to be interested in Brock, and I think a lot of people are going to be interested in Cain now, too. It’s just the sport. It’s the way it goes.
He has been working on his stand-up. He’s only fought five times in the UFC. We’ve seen fights where his stand-up looks good. He’s not going to win any boxing titles, but it looks good when he’s doing the punching. When he starts getting hit is when his hands start to fall apart. It’s not a matter of working on his hands enough. It’s a different ballgame when you’re getting punched in face.
“We’ll see what happens. Brock and I have been fighting a lot over the last month and a half. We’ll see how it goes after this.”
