White: ‘Would be interesting’ to see 100% healthy Lesnar fight
Dana White: “It’s pretty amazing what he did and accomplished here while having diverticulitis. It would be interesting to see a 100 percent healthy Brock Lesnar compete.”
UFC Web Producer Matt Parrino sat down with UFC president Dana White for their weekly meeting for The Download, where White responds to the issues of the week.
Earlier this month Brock Lesnar’s best friend, former WWE play-by-play announcer Jim Ross told FOX Sports that he thought Lesnar could be a force in the UFC in 2015.
“It looks to me like he’s gotten back on track,” said Ross. “He looks phenomenal strength-wise. He’s just scary looking. He’s more scary looking than he was before he left [WWE the first time]. … I see no reason he couldn’t have the potential to return to the UFC and sell pay-per-views.
White says he is in regular communication with Lesnar, and that the former heavyweight champion has not broached the idea with him.
I have a great relationship with Brock, we talk all the time, White said. I don’t know, we’ll see. If he wants to fight, he knows my number.
It’s pretty amazing what he did and accomplished here while having diverticulitis. It would be interesting to see a 100 percent healthy Brock Lesnar compete.
Both Frank Mir and Shane Carwin have expressed the desire to fight Brock should be decide to return to the Octagon.
