Heyman: At 100% percent, Lesnar would have been untouchable
Paul Heyman: “Anything you saw him do, he did as an unhealthy man…If Brock Lesnar ever fought healthy in the UFC, I don’t see any fighter that could have touched him.
Brock Lesnar’s rise to UFC heavyweight champion was somewhat miraculous considering his limited MMA experience. Lesnar’s second fight ever was in the UFC, albeit a loss to Frank Mir, but Lesnar would go to win four straight in the UFC and the championship. Lesnar loss his last two UFCs, then retired from the sport due to complications from diverticulitis.
Manager Paul Heyman recently spoke on his client’s UFC career and believes that had Lesnar been at 100% health, nobody could have beat him in the UFC:
“I think with all due respect to the rest of the division, I think Cain Velasquez is by far the most dominant heavyweight in UFC today,” Paul Heyman, Lesnar’s longtime friend and on-air WWE advocate, told FOX Sports recently. “As a champion, I think he’s a noteworthy champion because I think he’s going to clean out the entire division. That being said, Cain Velasquez stepped in the cage with Junior Dos Santos when Cain wasn’t at 100 percent and he got knocked out in under 90 seconds. If that’s not a demonstration of what happens when you enter the Octagon at less than 100 percent, I don’t know what is. Brock Lesnar entered the Octagon against these people, Shane Carwin, even against Randy Couture, against Frank Mir, against Alistair Overeem, against Cain Velasquez at far less than 100 percent.
“Anything you saw him do, he did as an unhealthy man competing at the very top level on the face of the planet. Imagine what he could have done if he was 100-percent healthy.”
“If Brock Lesnar ever fought healthy in the UFC, I don’t see any fighter that could have touched him,” Heyman said.
