You can check out highlights of ‘‘ Taker’s remarks listed below: The conflict at UFC 121: “No, I was I was strictly there to choose a battle. Select a battle on our format [ wrestling], not his format [MIXED MARTIAL ARTS] And it took– I do not understand, we did that and after that absolutely nothing took place … not till years later on.” White being uninformed of it taking place: “Unbeknownst to Vince or myself, Dana had no hint what was going on. Yeah, and we weren’t familiar with the reality that Dana did not understand that I was going to do that. And he was not pleased. Yeah, he was not delighted that some man from the WWE is challenging his most significant draw. And yeah, however we believed he was on board with it.” How the match didn’t take place till WrestleMania 30: “It most likely might have been [a win-win for everybody] Once again, it didn’t take place for years. I suggest it was years later on prior to he went out, he left UFC and after that returned to the WWE. We leapt the weapon a little bit on the timing, however it was a buzz in the MMA neighborhood.” If Undertaker ever thought about training for MMA: “Oh no. It was far too late in the video game for me to switch and train for an MMA battle.” The post The Undertaker Reflects On Confronting Brock Lesnar At UFC 121 appeared initially on eWrestlingNews.com.
