1:35: Brock says he’s not going to have to cut any weight this time. He’s 265 pounds right now. That would be roughly 25 pounds smaller than he usually is.
1:38: Shane says every fight is the biggest of his career, and this one is no different. He’s approaching it just like he would every other fight. Brock says he’s just excited to be back in the cage and doesn’t give a damn who it’s against.
1:41: Shane says he’s not surprised that Brock is coming in much lighter than normal. He believes that the extra weight they carry around isn’t all that important and he’ll come into fight day at about the same size, with only a bit of water weight to cut.
1:43: Brock says he’s got a lot of confidence in his wrestling and his Division 1 national championship proves that he’s well-prepared.
1:44: Brock says that Shane was able to work on his craft when he started, where he was thrown to the wolves in his first few fights. Says he doesn’t get nervous, and he’s just excited to be in there again.
1:47: Shane says he doesn’t know how big his fists actually are and says it’s an odd thing for him to be known for.
1:48: Oh boy, we’ve got a Fedor question for Brock. Shane says it’s unfortunate that he didn’t join the UFC, but he’s not concerned with Fedor and is only concerned with Brock. Brock says good for Fedor. He hopes Fedor does retire because then he’ll continue being the greatest of all time…in his own little world. Does he think he can beat Fedor? “Absolutely. I can beat any man.”
1:52: Brock says the main thing he took from WWE is that he’s promoting a big fight, so it’s still sports and entertainment. The only difference is that the UFC is real and WWE isn’t. Says that he’s been in tons of PPV main events and that those events prepared him for the limelight that he’s in today. Says it doesn’t matter if people are booing or cheering him, as long as they are doing something. The worst thing you can hear are crickets.
1:55: Brock says Shane has knockout power, so he has trained to avoid that power, and he also has great wrestling. He’s a credible fighter. Brock is being very complimentary of Shane today.
1:56: Brock says he doesn’t want to be Randy when he’s 45 years old, but he has to take his hat off to Couture for still being able to do what he does at that age.
1:57: Brock says he can’t eat his Fruity Pebbles at night any more.
1:58: Brock says he hasn’t changed his mind on the media. “I still dislike all of you,” he deadpans. He says he’s in a great mood because it’s a good day, he gets to go home and be with his family, the fight is almost here and he’s healthy. “It’s just a good day to be alive,” he says.
2:01: Brock says he believes his credentials outweigh Shane’s and that Shane probably believes the same thing, but that his own hand will be raised on July 3rd.
And that’s all for today’s conference call.
