Brock Lesnar Had an Honest Answer When Asked to Pick Between Vince McMahon and Dana White: “They Both Have…”

In 2011, ‘Sports Illustrated’ asked Lesnar what advice he would give to young UFC fighters including Jon Jones. Jones had shot to global stardom as the youngest UFC champion, and everyone wanted a piece of him.

Lesnar replied, “Everyone is going to want something from you. My advice is to surround yourself with the people who were with you from the beginning and try to keep your nose clean and keep a level head.”

Moreover, The Beast Incarnate added that it is vital not to get overwhelmed by other things around you. He stated, “The most important thing is: Don’t get overwhelmed by the outside stuff. Understand the things that got you there and are most important. Focus on your fight career, and keep time to yourself, because you’re going to be pulled in a lot of directions.”

Indeed, this was a great piece of advice from someone who had tremendous success at an early age. Jon Jones did maintain his run at the top of the lightweight division for many years, but it has been with its difficulties.

While Brock Lesnar not only rose to the top and stayed there, he accomplished that without getting into much controversy. It is also true that his sole focus has been his fighting career, whether it be WWE or the octagon. This is something a lot of young sports athletes can learn from.
