One of the hottest free-agents in the MMA world is the undefeated former NCAA National Wrestling Champion and pro wrestler Brock Lesnar. He is 1-0-0 in MMA after he picked up a win in the K-1/Hero's show in June in Los Angeles.
Now he wants to go straight to the top, to the UFC. He spoke to
MMAWeekly.com and said he'll be at UFC 74 on Saturday and he hopes Couture wins and they can fight later in the year.
On talks with the UFC: "We're playing the games, but I'm tired of playing games, it's time for somebody to make a move. I'm going to go down to the UFC and see what the hell is going on down there. I'm going to be attending the UFC this weekend, and I'm going to go down there and see for myself and watch these heavyweights that I know I can beat."
Will Lesnar be a success?: "Absolutely, no doubt in my mine. I mean, you take Randy Couture for example, I mean he's the heavyweight champion of the UFC, but he's a small heavyweight. Let's face it, Tim Sylvia was not a legitimate heavyweight champion, I enjoyed watching Randy beat the ---- out of Tim Sylvia."
"I enjoyed that. I mean take a look at this guy, Tim Sylvia, the guy's feet; they're damn near webbed. He looks like the Swamp Thing. The guy is a vulture. He can't wrestle worth a crap. He's got a jab and a little right hand. There's no way. I'd double-leg his ass right through that cage so fast, and that would be the end of the fight. I'm tired. I'm tired of this. Brock Lesnar wants to fight somebody, somebody with credentials and Tim Sylvia ain't the guy."
There's talk that he's ruffling a lot of feathers in the MMA community with his brash (some may say arrogant) talk.
