"I don't think I deserve anything. I was asked if I wanted a title shot against Randy Couture and I accepted it. I don't think that I deserve anything.... This is an opportunity and I'm going to seize the moment and try and take that title away tomorrow night.... This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I understand that. If there was any other heavyweight in the division that was asked for this opportunity they probably would have also not turned the opportunity down."
-- Brock Lesnar tells ESPNs "First Take" this morning that he is merely taking advantage of an opportunity that was presented to him to challenge Randy Couture for his heavyweight title. With just three professional mixed martial arts bouts to his credit, including an average record inside the Octagon (1-1), several people questioned the decision to grant him a world title shot so soon in his career. But this is a business and UFC President Dana White and all the others at Zuffa know that, deserving or not, Lesnar is going to put butts in seats at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 15. It's good to see Lesnar is under no illusions and that he is shooting straight from the hip. Who can blame him ...he makes a valid point.
