(PRESS RELEASE) -- With the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®)
heavyweight division better than it’s ever been, it’s nothing short
of amazing that champion Brock Lesnar has been able to dominate
with four straight UFC victories in the loaded class.
Lesnar took some time during his training to take a look at the cover of the newest issue, and the UFC heavyweight champion was truly honored.
“Wow,” exclaimed a smiling Lesnar, while looking at the cover for
the first time. “This is my coolest one yet. It was a huge win for
me, coming back from being sick. I took a major ass-whooping in the
first round and to come back and seal the deal in the second – I’m
very excited. That’s a cool cover. Thanks to the fans and thanks to
the UFC.”
As Lesnar receives the honor of gracing the cover of UFC Magazine, he’s back working hard in the gym, getting ready for his toughest test to date against undefeated up-and-comer Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in Anaheim, California on October 23.
