Much anticipated comeback of Brock Lesnar into the coveted UFC Octagon has served current World Wrestling Entertainment superstar a very welcome dose of enthusiasm.
Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros, his brazilian jiu jitsu coach (and 2x absolute world champion), boasted about Lesnar’s new state during training in an interview:
