Brock Lesnar News

Brock Lesnar made an in-studio appearance on KFAN radio in Minnesota earlier this week.

A caller asked about The Undertake and Lesnar replied:

"Big Mark Calloway, he's a good guy. I had an opportunity to work with him a bunch and he helped me out quite a bit... Mark, the Undertaker, is a huge fan of mixed martial arts and I appreciated him being at the fight, too. That was cool."

As for his feelings on Vince McMahon, Lesnar took the proverbial high road:

"I worked for that guy and we had a disagreement, no different than any other thing, I guess. There are a lot of good people and there are a lot of... I'm not that kind of guy to go through say I dislike this guy."

Brock added that he enjoyed working with Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and Big Show.

Coming off a loss against Frank Mir in his UFC debu, Brock Lesnar is gearing up for his next fight in the octagon. The former WWE champion will fight Mark Coleman at UFC 87 on August 9.

This week Greg Nelson, one of Brock Lesnar's top trainers, had some interesting words to describe Lesnar's preparation and strategy heading into fight:

Brock is a bigger, faster and stronger wrestler, who also has knock out power with his hands, and he has a better submission game. If Mark attempts to take Brock down he will be sprawled on and end up on the bottom getting smashed.

If it stays standing, Brock will smash him with his boxing skills. Lastly, if Brock wants to, he will take Mark down and smash him. I predict Brock winning by smashing Mark with his size 4 XXL hands.

Will you order Brock Lesnar's next UFC fight on pay-per-view?

According to a report by Dave Metlzer on Yahoo Sports, Brock Lesnar will likely make his return to the octagon for the UFC this August. He'll face heavyweight Justin McCully.

Lesnar, of course, had his debut fight with the UFC on February 2 in Las Vegas. He lost in the first round to former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir.

Brock Lesnar lost his in-rin UFC debut last night.

The former WWE champion was booed heavily during his entrance, as fans made it known he couldn't just waltz in their arena and expect to succeed.

Frank Mir then spoiled Lesnar's UCF debut, grabbing Lesnar's leg and securing a kneebar that forced him to submit at 1:30 of the first round.

"I wasnt worried about the fight being stopped," Mir said. "I had Brock Lesnar dropping elbows on the top of my head, but I still came through with the submission."

Lesnar looked impressive early, but was unable to overcome the more experienced ground game of the former champion.

"I came out trying to pressure Frank but he's a world class jui-jitsu guy," Lesnar said. "You win some, you lose some

UK newspaper The Sun is reporting that the UFC is pushing for Brock Lesnar to headline the company's next PPV event from London, England: UFC 86 on June 14.

UFC President Dana White recently confirmed that the June PPV show will take place from London’s O2 Arena.

Insider sources told publication that they want the former WWE champ London show because of the huge international popularity he generated from his professional wrestling career. We'll let you know if this comes to fruition.

Brock Lesnar made a name for himself in college wrestling, then inside a WWE ring and then in an attempt to play in the NFL.

Now, the former WWE star is trying to make it in the UFC. Yahoo recently profiled the endeavor and athlete:

In the spring of 2000, Brock Lesnar was a University of Minnesota senior, just two weeks and a handful of workouts away from the NCAA Division I wrestling tournament.

Today, the 30-year-old Lesnar finds himself in a similar situation as he trains for his match against former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Frank Mir in the most publicized debut in UFC history.

The former “Next Big Thing” of pro wrestling has become ultimate fighting's next gigantic question mark, a 1-0 fighter with 69 seconds of ring experience thrown into the deep end of a shark-infested pool.

Whether he's in over his head remains to be seen, but the reason he's being billed as the semi-main event of UFC 81 on Feb. 2 in Las Vegas is because of his fame as a former World Wrestling Entertainment champion.

The success of this card hinges on people buying the novelty of a former WWE champion fighting a former UFC champion. The idea, if it clicks, is to rally the UFC fan base to want to see the fake wrestler get smashed, and for the pro wrestling audience, to whom the show is being heavily marketed, to tune in out of curiosity to see how one of its all-time tough guys can do.

Here comes the pain, UFC!

Brock Lesnar has signed a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The 30-year-old former WWE star is eager to take the next step in his mixed martial arts career and is now expected to take on some of the best heavyweights in the world.

The announcement of the signing of Lesnar to a promotional contract was made by UFC President Dana White during the pay-per-view broadcast of UFC 77: Hostile Territory at the U.S. Bank Arena.

“I don't think there are any other pro wrestlers that can make the transition to MMA, except for Brock Lesnar,” White said. “And if you look at his amateur wrestling credentials, his size, and what he's done, this guy can end up being a force in the heavyweight division of the UFC.”

Kurt Angle is negotiating a deal for Brock Lesnar to sign a deal with TNA.

Lesnar, who weighs 265 pounds now, does not want to hurt his body and only wants to work MMA. Angle is trying to convince him that he will be able to create his own schedule, will have less travelling than WWE and enjoy one of the highest paid TNA contracts.

Do you think Lesnar will be a good addition to TNA Wrestling? 

PWInsider.com reports that TNA is working to sign former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar to a contract.

According to the report, the two parties recently had a "secret" meeting in Nashville to discuss a possible deal.

Additionally, Kurt Angle, who is a big supporter of bringing in Lesnar, supposedly pitched the benefits of signing with TNA to Lesnar during the pair's recent stay in Japan for a match.

On Friday in Tokyo, Japan, TNA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle defeated longtime rival Brock Lesnar for the IWGP Championship in a match for Antonio Inoki’s new IGF wrestling promotion.

TNA Wrestling officials spoke by phone with Angle following the match, who had this to say:

“The IWGP Championship is the second title to add to my growing collection,” Angle said. "On July 15 at Victory Road, I’m going to add a third title – the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Then after Victory Road, there will only be one more title for me to win – and that’s to take the X Championship from that fat slob Samoa Joe!”

Angle finished up by saying: “It's real...it's damn real...thank you!"

Kurt Angle will be returning to the United States with both his TNA World Heavyweight Championship as well as the IWGP Championship.
