On Lesnar’s return:
“I think he has a lot to offer because he’s a strong, dangerous guy, He’s tough. He is controversial and flashy. He is dangerous. He has a good skill set and the ability to turn events into shows like he’s used to doing at the WWE. It’s cool having him back."
Thoughts on Lesnar VS Hunt matchup:
“I like this matchup, we know that charisma and marketing skills carry weight in the UFC, so when I saw that Lesnar was coming back and that his opponent hadn’t been chosen yet, I thought they might pick someone he could beat more easily. But I was impressed with the Mark Hunt choice. He is a very tough guy who can make his return complicated.
I think Lesnar will obviously try to get close and take him down and take the fight where he’s strongest, He is very fast on the ground for his size. But Hunt is a very tough guy, with super heavy hands. It’s a dangerous fight for both, but I see more danger for Lesnar. Hunt is not just a skilled fighter; he knows how to knock people out. He’s got that timing. So when you fight a guy like him you have to be very careful because you can get knocked out at any minute.”
“I think Lesnar can catch up with good training and sparring, if he stays active Of course, it’s never the same. As much as the WWE has all those athletic movements, we know it’s theatrical, so after staying away from actual competition and getting back, it will take some preparation. Hunt, on his end, is a very experienced guy. He knows how to handle himself in these situations. He’s having a good moment in his career. He actually asked for a rematch against me so who knows what could happen in the future.”
On possblie fight with Lesnar. (He was supposed to fight Lesnar for TUF 13 finale and headline UFC 131, but Brock couldn't because of diverticulitis.)
“I didn’t care too much, i never picked opponents and I never will, but had it happened now, I’d have seen it differently. Lesnar is one of those guys who sells fights and likes promoting them. I would be sad if our fight got canceled today because I think it would draw major numbers. It would be the finale that never happened, I think it should happen. As far as promotion goes, I think we’d make a good pair.”
His return:
"I’m starting physical therapy next week,Hopefully by mid-August I’ll be back to training. I’ll need 20 to 30 days to get back in shape and start my camp. I believe and hope I’ll be back by late November or December. I wanted to fight three times this year and couldn’t, but hopefully I can do a second one.”
