Neither Brock Lesnar nor Mark Hunt are particularly talkative individuals, and when faced with questions on Thursday’s UFC 200 media conference call, the heavyweight combatants that will take part in next Saturday’s penultimate bout kept things short, sweet and to the point.
After discussing his truncated training camp and the appeal of stepping into the cage with a former champion and formidable draw like Lesnar, Hunt joked about the dealing with the desert heat in Las Vegas, where he’s been posted up at Xtreme Couture for the last couple weeks.
Though 20 of the 30-odd questions on the call were directed his way, Lesnar kept most of his fight-related comments to a sentence or two, only really opening up when asked about the perks of residing in rural Saskatchewan and passing down the work ethic instilled in him as a boy in Webster, South Dakota to his kids on the family farm in the rural village of Maryfield, which is now his primary residence.
