When the UFC approached Brock Lesnar about a fight with Alistair Overeem for this Friday at UFC 141, the former UFC Heavyweight Champ wasn't very familiar with the Dutch striker. But in an interview with Ariel Helwani at MMAFighting.com, Lesnar said he didn't skip a beat in accepting the bout:
"I was riding in my tractor on my farm in Canada, and I got a phone call. They proposed Alistair, and I said 'absolutely, let's do it, I feel good. Just let me get my crops off the field and get home.' At the time I hadn't even started training. But I was ready; it was game on. I knew the surgery was a huge success and that I had healed normal and I was ready to go."
DON'T GO YET... WE SUGGEST THESE MMATORCH ARTICLES, TOO!
