Brock Lesnar is back, and in a jovial mood.

The former UFC champion can sometimes have a steely demeanor, but at the UFC 200 press conference, he stole the show with his charm. (Warning: NSFW language in the following video.)

The MMA media members in attendance were quick to address Lesnar, but not everyone got the answers they were looking for when Lesnar picked up the microphone. One of the first questions thrown his way was concerning why he’ll be sporting the Canadian flag at the event.

Kevin Iole of Yahoo asked about Lesnar’s health issues that sent him out of the cage, and the former heavyweight champion was having none of that talk. He was only focused on how great he feels now and didn’t want to elaborate on anything regarding his health. Damon Martin of Fox Sports recorded his reponse.

He was also asked about his future, should he win.

Lesnar remarked that Saturday could be a “teaser,” but that the question should actually be addressed to Vince McMahon—owner of the WWE. Lesnar mentioned that he was already booked for August for WWE’s SummerSlam. He was anything but committal regarding his future after that in either the UFC or WWE.

Lesnar also talked about his UFC 100 post-fight speech. He recalled: “I had two beers that night. One for the public to see and one to enjoy.” Dana White jokingly asked that no one ask Lesnar anymore questions.

MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani brought out some of the best in Lesnar. He was on the receiving end of a thoughtful, honest answer from Lesnar and one of his dismissive and witty retorts.

Lesnar was honest about taking the UFC for granted in his first go-around. The WWE Superstar mentioned that everything from the flight into Vegas and all the happenings of fight week are something he is taking in this time. He is enjoying the process of being back as a UFC athlete.

Then Helwani asked about how many rounds he sparred for this fight. Lesnar, once Daniel Cormier said the question was for him, stated very sarcastically, “3,000 rounds.” The crowd laughed along with the charismatic beast of the WWE and UFC.

If there is one feeling that could be taken away from the pre-fight press conference, it is that Lesnar is having fun. He looks like he is in fantastic shape and happy to be back to work. He was completely relaxed and having a good time answering—or maybe not answering—the questions.

Lesnar enjoyed himself, and the fans enjoyed his cheerful mood. But don’t expect him to take that comedic tone with him into the cage on Saturday when he meets Mark Hunt in the co-main event at UFC 200.
