Quoteworthy:
"I have one thing in my mind for this whole thing, which is to help these kids and to improve their lives. More importantly, it's an opportunity for me to get down here and train and it's an opportunity for me to get my title back sooner rather than later. When I beat dos Santos, then I get a rematch with Velasquez and I get my f*ckin belt back. That's the way I'm looking at this."
With filming now underway for season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), Brock Lesnar is back in the limelight (as if he ever left it), and participating in media day for the popular Spike reality television show. The Brockness monster cleared up a few things, including the fact that he never had any plans to do WrestleMania (those rumors were the Internet's fault) and how UFC President Dana White convinced him to do the show. I'll give you two guesses but you're only going to need one. That's right -- money. Or "Benjamins," as the former heavyweight champion referred to it. Apparently White also rented a house in Las Vegas so Lesnar could bring his family out to stay with him during filming. Basically, the bossman pulled out all the stops to get his biggest draw on TV every week this spring and he got his wish. No different than dos Santos, Brock sees this as the best (and quickest) path he could possibly take to getting back "his" 265-pound belt. Oh and he also wants to improve the lives of the kids he will be training on the show. So that's it, Maniacs, the beast has finally spoken. It would seem he's saying the right things but does the reclusive heavyweight really mean it? Countdown to skepticism in 3, 2, 1 ...
Watch the man himself talk about all things Brock Lesnar after the jump.

hey Geno
any chance we can get a video or a link to that interview?

No video of it, as far as I know. The link to the article is right there at the top after Props.

I say he leaves the ufc goes to k1
Jk but hopefully he does hire a great striking coach that can fix the holes in his standup. Size and power doesnt do anything if you don’t have the proper technique.

I think People will be surprised by Brock and how good he is to his team. I am from SD and everyone I met that says they have either lived by him or met him say he is really quite polite and friendly.
I just really hope he learns how to strike and how to take a strike.

He has a chance the more thought about it the more I see it either way but I’m going with jds brocks only way to win is ground and pound or grind out a dec. He might wear him down and chose to stand in the 3rd or get lucky and get a sub but either way I want a good fight

Wait if he can do that to a jiu jitsu practioner like Junior why couldnt he do that same thing to Cain. Brock got Cain down, he got over anxious didnt spread his base and was too antsy and Cain exploded up.

the fact remains
that this show helps a ton of fighters, financially at least…the first guy eliminated and anybody who doesnt get a fight on the finale, or anybody who gets a fight on the finale and loses and is immediately cut, is probably doubling the money in the smaller promotions that they woulda made before TUF, just because the announcer can say that this guy was a contestant, even if he did poorly

He just needs to seriously adjust and get some better coaches.

I think he could do it too. He got Cain down; the problem was keeping him there. He needs to learn how to use the positions he had to his advantage and to stay calm when he’s flustered.

by TheKillswitch on Jan 25, 2011 11:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Too many things that Brock needs to work on
His one strength is being able to take guys down and keep them there, against Cain he struggled to get the takedown and was unable to do anything with it. His cardio wasn’t good enough as he gassed very quickly and his striking was woefully inadequate. He still doesn’t know how to react properly to getting punched and whilst he does have a lot of power he has no technique in his hands. That’s way too much for him to improve on to beat Cain who lets not forget is a great all rounder who is younger and hungrier than Brock and trains at a far better camp. His striking, wrestling, BJJ, cardio and heart are all better than Brocks. Unless he suddenly stops working hard or comes back a lesser fighter after this injury I don’t ever see Brock reaching the same talent level as Cain.

Since Cain tore his rotator cuff
he may not get back to full power in that arm. That would be lucky for Brock, and sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.

Agree with Hella!
Besides, Brock obviously made the mistake of looking past Cain! Kept making statements in reference to Cain’s size disadvantage and how he was going hunting the next morning in Canada. The way Brock came out throwing everything he had, he must have thought he would get Cain outta there iearly in the first and have an easy night! If he had a better coach/Team, he wouldv’e known better! That said, I say Brock beats Cain next time and Junior most likely won’t be able to stop Brock’s takedown!

What's with the Cane's hate all of a sudden?
-5 national titles
-39 game win streak
-38 game win streak

it has nothing to do with disliking university of miami.
it had to do with hellahectic not knowing which conference the hurricanes were in when they won their national titles.

Brock does not equal GSP,
and there is a big difference in the way Serra won that fight, landing the killer punch in the exchanges, which led to the loss, and Cain giving Brock a schoolyard beat down.
That has to be one of the worst analogies I've ever read.

I agree David, but its not impossible for Brock to beat Cain....Cain was able to shrug off a few takedowns in the 1st fight, but that doesnt mean that Brock wont ever be able to take him down..
Brock is capable of putting anyone on on their back n controlling them… If it turns into that kind of a fight he would beat Cain. The only fighters Brock cant do that too are Fedor, Nog, and Werdum whos guards are just way too good!
Geno: If you gonna use the nickname I COINED (the brockness Monster)...show ya boy some love!
or do I gotta copyright that shit? lol
Oh ya, I did.
Lesnar got killed, no doubt.
He needs a better boxing coach and learn how to take a punch like a champ.
Look back at the first minute of that fight I actually thought Brock was going to drop Cain in the brawl they were having.
But something changed and Brock couldn’t get the fight too the ground.
If he improved his striking a lot and his defense he could maybe do it.
I dunno, falso hope maybe.

Ya, I gotta say, I don't see it. Brock gave Cain everything he had and it wasn't even close to challenging Cain.
Brock is a beast, but at the end of the day, Cain and Shane (before he gassed), proved that he’s one dimensional. I’m looking forward to his fight against JDS, and hopefully another KO loss. Nothing personal D Mob, I just don’t like Brock.
Haha I understand I'm not going to cry...
I just want Brock to man handle JDS and Cain so I can do the finger pointing laugh thing to everyone.
“hahahahahhahhaa”

He should've went in a bit more cautious and threw some jabs to feel out his opponent
instead of just rushing in foolishly…
i supposedly ordered that PPV and watched it but shit i don’t remember it.. i do see brock being able to get the belt back, his complete pick up of bjj from the first fight with mir to the 2nd, and his fight with randy shows he is capable of learning much faster than the rest of the world, and cain showed when he fought kongo if he gets hit on the chin he kind of panics. so with those possibilities im sure on paper brock can get his belt back

big difference....
cain regained compsure and kicked kongos ass. lesnar headlocked and zombie in cain and bloodied by cain.
Cain panicked?
Really? When Cain was rocked he maintained his composure and landed a takedown. He did this every round and ended up destroying Kongo. That fight was almost 2 years ago, since then Cain has improved at everything and hasn’t had to go past 2 rounds in his last 3 fights.
On the other hand Brock showed no composure whatsoever when he was hurt. Against both Carwin and Cain he staggered around, turned away from his opponent and curled up in a ball waiting for then to stop hitting him. He got away with it against Carwin because he punched himself out but Cain has patience and cardio so he got the stoppage. That is what I call panicking, not doing enough to win the fight easily. And those 2 fights were a lot more recent than Cain-Kongo.

I definitely think he has the potential to beat him, he just needs to work VERY seriously on his striking, striking defense, and natural reaction to getting punched in the face. To be honest, i think his striking is a few years behind Cain’s.
by ScissorSweep on Jan 26, 2011 12:39 AM EST up reply actions
watch cain vs kongo, his reaction to getting hit in that fight was the exact same as brocks, the only difference was kongo couldnt beat a paper bag in a wrestling match. brock was fighting a damn near equal caliber wrestler..
it tells me brock isn’t as far behind as people think and say, did cain progress leaps and bounds from that fight? YES can brock? YES! but will he? not the worlds biggest brock fan by any means but he is who he is and his natural abilities have spoken for themselves so far
my sig might be gay but you're the dumbass that read it
by randy murders on Jan 26, 2011 12:42 AM EST up reply actions
NOT the same reaction
Cain would get punched by Kongo and get dropped, but he always knew what to do after getting hit. He shot in for a takedown every time he was dropped, and ended up getting it.
Brock gets hit in the face and he lays on the ground turtled up praying that the ref will stop the fight.

I DONT SEE
How they reacted the same. Brock turtles up and went back. Cain just rushed in and took him down. Plus you are comparing Cain from four fights ago to Brock from his last fight. Brock should improve but Cain will also improve.

He should at least get one where he looks like he is in shape.

I do not believe him . . . I agree with the Roy Nelson Conspiracy which is:
1. Carwin has no one to fight (Kongo doubtful)
2. Roy is meant to Fight Mir
3. Brock will do a Tito and leave the show half way through
4. Mir replaces Brock, fights JDS (he did KO CroCop afterall)
5. Roy fights Carwin
6. Lesnar does WrestleMania
No way
Carwin will fight Kongo
Roy will fight Mir
Brock will stay in his huge Vegas home

Hate all ya want
Brock still has more top 10 wins that Cain and JDS combined.
Cain hasn’t even defended yet, at least the Brock hype train had some basis. Cain has 2 major wins so far and , jumping on his bandwagon doesn’t make you any more of a “fan”

Brock is going to steam roll JDS
With the win over the legend Matt Hughes the gates are slowly being greased. Soon it will be time to open the Shit gates once again.
My biggest concern
Is that Lesnar did not initially pine for this fight.
He had to be coerced by Dana White throwing gobs of money at him for Brock to not only go on TUF, but to risk another embarrassing loss. This tells me he’s not hungry enough to be a champion. And one thing I do believe is that Dos Santos is plenty hungry.
Good thing Brock is a good actor.

You actually think that Brock DOESN’T want the Title back?
wow…some fans around here sure are smoking something good…..lol.
Everyone wants to be the champion
It just takes a lot of heart and dedication to put in the work to become good enough to be the champion, lets see if Brock has what it takes mentally to make the changes he needs to both in training and in the fights.
Personally I think he has too much to learn and overcome, he’s playing catch-up with Cain and Junior who are both younger than him yet more experienced and who both have in my opinion superior training and skillsets.
