Lesnar is scheduled to return to WWE a month after UFC 200 to perform at SummerSlam, but he's not worried about that appearance right now. In fact, Lesnar gave a rather blunt answer when asked if he believes his WWE popularity might take a hit if things don't go his way against Mark Hunt.
"I really don't give a s--t," Lesnar said during a media conference call Thursday.
"Honestly, I really don't care. This isn't about my fans. This is about me living my life, being the person I want to be," Lesnar said. "Granted, without the fans and everything, none of us would be able to do this, I get that."
Lesnar said the same thing when reacting to recent comments from WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon, who said that the organization wasn't "necessarily" supporting his fight at UFC 200 from a promotional standpoint.
"I don't know. I don't care what she says," Lesnar said about McMahon.
"But I don't sit up at night wondering 'is my drawing power going to be hurt or are WWE fans going to tune into watch me do this?'. I don't give two s--ts about that. This is about me. I want to get in there and be an athlete again. That's what it's about."
