“I think he’s going to be a great fighter as long as he decides to do that,” Faber told ProMMARadio. “He needs to get in there and accept ‘hey I’m going to get hit and there are guys who are better at punching than I am. But he just needs to put in the time like everyone else.”

Faber’s had a change of heart about Lesnar. After UFC 100, Faber was actually one of his detractors inside the sport.

“I just kinda didn’t like the fact that he had so many eyes on him, and had so much influence in the sport when he came off so bad for the sport after his fight with Mir. But I think he’s grown a lot.”

Faber’s Team Alpha Male in Sacramento is filled with little guys but he’d be interested in working with the former heavyweight king on his issues.

“Man, I’d be willing to help him out, if he was really into learning,” Faber said. “I think some simple things that would help him out a lot. He shouldn’t be losing to guys that are 40 pounds lighter than him.”
