Former WEC featherweight champ Urijah Faber sympathisizes with the plight of former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar after his loss to Cain Velasquez.
Faber feels that with a little help and a lot of sparring, Lesnar can get over his discomfort of being hit and become the champion once again.
“We’ve all been there, where Lesnar is at,” Faber said (6:00 mark). “Dude, getting hit is not the coolest thing to have done to you, but it’s not that big of a deal. It takes a ton of sparring and some great defense and a knowledge of what it’s like to get hit, to be able to get used to it…I think he’s going to be a great fighter as long as he decides to do that,” Faber told ProMMARadio. “He needs to get in there and accept ‘hey I’m going to get hit and there are guys who are better at punching than I am. But he just needs to put in the time like everyone else.”
