If Lesnar loses to Alistair Overeem in the main event at UFC 141, they ask, won’t that be it? Won’t he retire and disappear into a life of hunting, farming and perhaps the occasional, lucrative guest appearance in professional wrestling?
It’s a halfway popular theory, but one Lesnar doesn’t really understand. Battling back from a serious illness twice in the past 26 months should be, in his opinion, strong evidence he’s committed to this sport.
I don’t know why people question the desire, Lesnar told ESPN.com. What do I have to go through? What do I have to do?
Is it that hard to believe, though, that Lesnar would continue in MMA — even should he lose this week — simply because he actually enjoys it?
I like it. I like doing it, Lesnar said. I’m not ready to be done. I’ve made a little bit of money here and there but at the end of the day, I think it’s my identity. It’s who I want to be.
