The following is an excerpt from an exclusive MMANews.com fighter interview with former WWE World champion and NCAA amateur wrestling champion Brock Lesnar, who will be making his MMA fighting debut for K-1 on June 2nd at the LA Coliseum in California.

MMANews.com: [laughs] I totally understand. I have to bring up your counter-part here, a lot of people are comparing you to Kurt Angle. He has been preaching a whole lot about wanting to fight in MMA, but up until this point it hasn't been. I mean up until this point you've been pretty quiet actually, and you're just doing it. He's been talking a lot but he's not actually doing anything. Do you realistically think that he wants to fight?

Brock Lesnar: I can't speak on behalf of Kurt Angle, but I mean he is a legitimate gold medalist and I think that if he really had it in his heart to be a fighter, he could. I will say this: if he wants to get in it, he might as well just shut his mouth and do it. Otherwise keep his yapper shut.

MMANews.com: [laughs] Yeah, that's what pretty much everyone is saying. Now I know you don't want to look past this fight, but if he does enter you guys could make a lot of money fighting each other. Would you like to do that fight?

Brock Lesnar: I'd like to fight Kurt, but I think deep down inside he is scared of me, I really do. I really think that he knows in his heart and soul that he would lose to me, and he's not willing to take that step.

MMANews.com: Real quick, did you guys ever mess around, like wrestle in the backstage before an event or anything?

Brock Lesnar: Yes, he wouldn't mess with me anymore. I pinned him all the time.
