AF: What do you say to fans who think you’re in over your head?
BL: Sit back and wait to be proven wrong. This is very serious for me. People don’t really understand that yes, I was a pro wrestler. But I was also an NCAA champion and I’ve been training MMA for almost two years now. It’s no different than these other guys who have been training jiu-jitsu for 10 years and decide to get in the fight game. I was an amateur wrester for 18 years. Why wouldn’t I qualify for this?
AF: Back in your WWE days, you were nicknamed the Next Big Thing. The UFC is hoping that you’ll be just that. Will you be announced as the Next Big Thing in the Octagon?
