Former two-division UFC Champion Randy Couture appeared on Kurt Angle’s ‘The Kurt Angle Show’ podcast. On the show, he expressed his thoughts on former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.
It was not just about his accolades, but also the utter respect he has for ‘The Beast‘. Eventually, ‘The Natural’ reflected on to Lesnar’s performance in Dana White‘s company.
“It [Brock Lesnar] intrigued the company… They [UFC] knew that having Brock come over was going to bring all those WWE eyes to those fights. I think I was his third fight… He’s a great big athletic guy, and I have respected his wrestling credentials. An NCAA Champion from Minnesota. A huge guy and very few guys his size can move as well as that guy does.”
What happened when Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture met?
The two Goliaths of UFC locked horns at UFC 91 where the newcomer Lesnar beat the veteran Couture and the company got the new ‘Beast’ who was not afraid to make a statement.
According to UFC Stats, Lesnar won the fight in round 2 with a T/KO (technical knockout). However, it was not easy for him as ‘The Natural’ had an upper hand earlier.
