Paul Heyman probably knows Brock Lesnar better than almost anybody right now. He was his manager when Lesnar broke into WWE and their relationship carried on even though Lesnar left the world of professional wrestling.
At his site, Heyman Hustle, Heyman has published a very interesting article that takes a look into Lesnar's life heading into his undisputed heavyweight championship match against Shane Carwin at UFC 116 on Saturday.
Here is an excerpt:
There is an eery calmness to Brock Lesnar these days. I've never seen him this close to a major event and yet have so much peace of mind. Usually, he's a self-described "bear with a sore ass" heading into fight week. This time, however, Brock's approach is a bit different. No tension. No pacing. No "can't wait til I get in there and the fight starts" mentality. Brock Lesnar is simply counting down the days until he has a job to do, and that job is to once again unify the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
"I have a different perspective on everything," the only man who has ever held the NCAA, WWE, and UFC Heavyweight Championships said, "I know what I have to do, and I am sure Shane Carwin knows I am uniquely capable of doing it."

I like the feeling of hunting down what I feed my family. If there’s a beast out there capable of hunting down Brock Lesnar, he would do it and make me the trophy on his den wall. But the laws of nature dictate that I’m going to be the one who goes into the wild and comes home with the evening’s bounty."
The two single greatest quotes from a mixed-martial-artist / viking I have ever seen.

awesome. love that quote.
"You're in this dark tunnel and you've got no way out, you're waiting for light, and you see that light, what do you do? What do you do? You start digging, and getting out. ... I've always beleived you stay in the tunnel and you keep digging when you expect no light. You have the same faith when you expect no light. You have the same beleif in what you're doing when you expect no light. ... It's dark and I'm going to dig through. My shovel is sharp and my pick is sharp and my will is outstanding." --Rod Marinelli 2008 (on his way to that sweet 16!)

No chance
Wanderlei has an endless string of classics:
“Draw a line and I’ll fight everyone in the course of time.”
“Football is just a hobby. Violence is my profession.”
“My fighting style is kneeing people’s face.”
(About Rampage) “I will make him my new Sakuraba.”
“He better know, when the fight start, I kick faces.”
I can keep going…

only one way to settle this...
lets Paper, Rock, Scissors this bitch! :)
all jokes aside, Wandys don’t hold a candle to the ones i outlined…purely my own bias taste though, i just enjoy Lesnars Vikingesque attitude….i can see how you like the other ones though

I wouldn't say he's punch shy
I mean…only an idiot would want to get punched in the face….just because you can take a shot doesn’t mean you should.

I think if you were around it more, you would say he is punch shy
He looked awfully uncomfortable from Couture’s pressure when they fought. He reminds me a whole lot of Tito in that regard, a gifted guy, who has all the power in the world, but probably for whatever reason gets a bit too freaked out by the possibility of getting socked.
“I don’t like gays. Write that down in your little notebook. I don’t like gays.”
LOL….sorry, man. Just kidding. You left me open for it. Man, I’m bored today.
he doesn't like happy people, no biggie :)
