UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar attended the latest iteration of the Mr. Olympia contest over the weekend in Las Vegas. Lesnar, in town to promote the Dymatize Nutrition products that he endorses, took time out from his busy autograph signing schedule to speak about his UFC 100 performance and his upcoming title defense against Shane Carwin in November.
Does Lesnar regret his actions after the destruction of Mir?
“People spend money and want to be entertained. If you don’t feel from UFC 100 that you got your money’s worth, you’re probably not gonna tune into something (with me). It’s good entertainment,” said Lesnar. “The old saying … bad press, good press — it’s all the same. Visibility is the key. Making attention, good or bad or whatever people’s opinion is on it, I guess we’re still out there. We’re climbing.”
Lesnar admitted that Shane Carwin was a tough fighter, but added his thoughts regarding the overall challenges Carwin has faced in the octagon.
“He’s a tough guy. He’s undefeated, but some of the guys he’s beaten aren’t worthy of having on your record,” said Lesnar. “He hasn’t fought anybody. He’s fought Gonzaga, so I really think he’s 1-0.”
“He’s a tough guy and a wrestler. But he’s a Division II national champion — enough said.”
Lesnar predicts victory come Nov. 21, when he steps into the cage to defend his belt for the second time.
“I don’t know what he is, 11-0, 10-0, but he’ll have a loss against Brock Lesnar.”
