“I’ve been through a lot in my career,” he said. “I have like, I don’t know, I think like 65 or 70 fights, so you learn how to deal with distractions, setbacks. I mean, I’m a three-time champion, and I’ve been through a lot. It’s all about adaptation. I’m pretty good at that, I think.”
Lesnar also touched on the challenge of “trying to live a somewhat normal life” while also competing as a world-famous UFC heavyweight, but in the end there might be only one thing they agree on, and it’s that neither is expecting to have to put in 25 minutes of work on fight night.
“I don’t see it really going past the second round,” said Overeem. “First or second round, maximum.”
Lesnar concurred, saying, “I feel the same. This is a heavyweight fight that, you know, we’re both going in to finish this fight. I don’t foresee it going five rounds.”
Whether that’s more of a prediction or a hope, we’ll have to wait and see.
