Coach: 'Healthy' Brock Lesnar wants to prove to himself that he can win titles in MMA

Brock Lesnar is back, and he’s doing it to prove to himself he can be the best heavyweight in the world now that he’s healthy.

The former UFC champion retired from the sport after losing to Alistair Overeem in 2011, but it had a lot to do with the health condition he battled for years. With his diverticulitis issues in the past, Lesnar returns to the Octagon on July 9, facing Mark Hunt at UFC 200, and his jiu-jitsu coach Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros is excited to see him train normally again.
