10 Things We Learned From Brock Lesnar's UFC 200 Victory
2. Lesnar Seems At Ease With The Media These Days
Prior to and following his UFC 200 fight with Mark Hunt, one thing about Brock Lesnar stood out: he's much more at ease with the media these days. Often downright charming, and able to spin a decent tale (such as being a bit of a bully and picking fights in his childhood), it seems Lesnar has picked up a trick or two from his pal Paul Heyman.
Once criticized for his skill - or lack thereof - on the mic, the new Brock Lesnar shone through at the post-fight press conference held specifically for him following UFC 200. Joking that he was going home to drink a Coors Light (then quickly correcting himself and saying Bud Light), a nod to his UFC 100 controversy, Lesnar was quick-witted and thoughtful at times following the fight.
"This is a mental game, it really is 85, 90% mental" Lesnar said. "I believe this game is a mental game. If you put the work in, good things are going to happen."
Lesnar proved that at UFC 200. He also proved why he's such a big star, and why the mainstream media has come to love him.
