Brock Lesnar has yet to speak publicly since losing his UFC heavyweight title to Cain Velasquez last week, and chances are we aren’t going to hear from him any time soon.

Lesnar’s good friend and training partner, Cole Konrad, stopped by The MMA Hour last week, and while the new Bellator heavyweight champion said he would rather Lesnar explained his actions and future himself, he did offer some thoughts on what went wrong against Velasquez.

“There’s a million things you can look at and critique with any fight,” Konrad said. “[Lesnar] came out real hard in hopes to hurt [Velasquez] early, and I think when that didn’t take place, he was a bit shocked as I think a lot of people were. That’s a big powerful man coming at you. He expended a lot of energy early and wasn’t able to recover.”
