LAS VEGAS – It was obvious from the first moment UFC heavyweight
champion Brock Lesnar walked into Wednesday’s open
workout session promoting his UFC 116 bout with Shane Carwin that something was different.
It wasn’t about the way he hit the mitts – southpaw – during a brief workout session
or the way his physique has changed during his year away from
competition, though there were those things, too.
No, the big difference with Lesnar in contrast to previous pre-fight
media sessions was the smile that he flashed easily and often. Lesnar said that’s just one of the changes you an expect to see on Saturday night, and you can stop comparing him to his opponent, by the way.
