Lesnar is in MMA for the money

UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has admitted that he is in the MMA business purely for the money.

The 31-year-old former WWE star is regarded as one of the best MMA fighters on the planet.

He told Fighters Only Magazine: “I’ve had plenty of jobs to put food on the table. I grew up on a farm in South Dakota so I’m no stranger to hard work.

“But you have to make money. If there wasn’t a prize or a guy couldn’t make a living out of this I highly doubt that anybody would fight.

“Put it this way, guys play golf for recreation. You don’t fight and get bloody noses and black eyes for fun. I’m a grown man and I have to make a living out of this.”
