Here are a few quotes from the first episode:
“At any time it can be taken away from you. I don’t take it for granted. I just want to be the greatest heavyweight of all time. And keeping whopping ass. And be the meanest son-of-a-bitch around” – Brock Lesnar
“I don’t train to my strengths. I train to my weaknesses. What am I not good at? How can I get better?” – Brock Lesnar
“I don’t worry about a guy like Brock Lesnar…I’m cautious…but know what you can do…know what you are capable of.” – Cain Velasquez
“You are going to see Brock Lesnar get exposed for the first time. Here is somebody (Cain Velasquez) who is going to be a better wrestler…better striker…better ground guy…in better shape. And Brock is not going to have enough to deal with him.” – Bob Cook (Cain’s Strategy coach at AKA)
