Next up a reporter from The Washington Post references Lesnar's constant claims about doing things if the money is right and adds that he can obviously make money doing other things. She wants to know if there's also something about the competition that drives him to get in the octagon.

He responds that there absolutely is, as an athlete since the age of five. He loves the sport of mixed martial arts and believes that he was born to be a fighter and an entertainer.

It's no mystery that he was forced out of competition due to an illness that he had, and despite his best efforts to be the competitor that he wanted to be his body wasn't cooperating.

Now he's in an entirely different place mentally and physically, and wanted to get back in the cage before he turned forty. He says he will always be a competitor and will probably racing his wheelchair around the nursing home.
