Print"I just need to get more comfortable. I've been thrown to the wolves; I wouldn't have it any other way."
"(dos Santos) is a tough match-up. I'm facing a guy with heavy hands. I'm going to have to come in and force myself to be comfortable. Win this fight, get another change to face Cain Velasquez and get my title back. That's my mission."
"Junior dos Santos look out, here I come."

Shocked
Wow, what a fantastic interview. Good job by ESPN and Hannah Storm. ESPN usually screws up stuff like this, but I’m impressed.

Was just about to post that.
First time where MMA Ultimate Fighting on ESPN didn’t seem…weird. Props! And yeah, I’d hit it.

Maybe my expectations are low, but it’s as if they actually did research, and asked relevant questions. Hannah Storm is a good broadcaster in general, but I was surprised how well she and the producers handled an MMA interview.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Agreed, this was a good short interview. Brock is representing himself well.

I was also very positively surprised. Granted, I don’t have ESPN in my country so I don’t know what they’re usually up to, but that was a very good interview with relevant questions.

Brock Lesnar
Resume
- 2 Time Big Ten Wrestling Champ – Nice!
- Former WWE Champ <————— Seriously? LOL!
- Tried out for Vikings – Didnt he make it too? But then quit?
- Former UFC Champ – NICE!
Mike Goldberg: "You know Joe, When Matt and his brother Mark Hughes were growing up, they would pound each other behind the barn."
Never made the Vikings...
he was one of the last guys cut from training camp… which is pretty amazing.
Really? I thought I read where he said he did make it but didn’t get along with teammates or learning the playbook or something.

Mike Tice, the coach at the time, said that Brock had a lot of potential, but that he needed the roster spots for guys that could play “now”. He thought Brock could have developed into a pro player though.

what you're probably remembering is
his line of “unfamiliarity with the playbook and starting fights”, which is fairly close. That said, Fokman and Redravi are exactly right, he was on the last round of cuts and Tice had good things to say about his athleticism. The NFL isn’t for people who are learning, however.

They wanted Brock to go play in NFL Europe and he didn't want to leave his family

did anyone else catch that he almost said the almighty dollar after she asked him what would it take to go back to wrestling
by bcgardner78 on Mar 29, 2011 3:27 PM EDT reply actions 1 recs
Yeah I thought that was what he said and came here to have it confirmed.....
…he caught himself and said “I should never say never, but after I retire there is a possibility”
Interesting response……
Brock vs. Bigfoot one day would be a lot of fun
Vote Quimby
I fear it wouldn't be
I doubt Brock could control Big Foot and with his BJJ he probably subs Brock out if he doesn’t KO him first and I’m a huge Brock fan.

I like how he said he "needs to get comfortabel"
It’s pretty much the only way he can openly say “I need to learn to take a punch”. If he truly does believe that he will be getting hit plenty in practice to adjust to it.
