Brock Lesnar announces MMA future, then retires & unretires again.

Last night in Las Vegas, Nevada, former World Champion Brock Lesnar announced that he has joined the K-1 organization. It had been expected for some timethat Brock, who has been training for Mixed Marital Arts, would be announcing his affiliation with the group. MMA legend Royce Gracie announced that hewould be training Lesnar, at the request of K-1. Lesnar is tentatively set to have his first fight in February of next year for K-1's HERO'S group.

Lesnar is being trained by Royce Graci? The man who never quits is training the guy that quits at everything?

We hear at the Old Country Corner eagerly await the announcement of the hangnail that will delay Lesnar's first fight beyond February.

The corner has gotten a couple of exclusive "quotes" from our super-dooper inside sources.

The first is from Lesnar himself, when asked what he thought the biggest challenge would be in moving to MMA. "I don't really think there are that many challenges to be honest. I mean I already know how to tap out, and that's all I'm really going to need anyway."

When asked by Old Country Presses reporter Himlock Bolmes what the training for Lesnar has been like so far, Graci had the following comment. "Well, it is kind of tough, at first he used to give up and go home 3 or 4 times a day. But now, we've got him to where he's just quitting twice a week, once on Monday and that lasts until late Wednesday afternoon then he comes back and quits fresh Thursday morning."

When Bolmes caught up to Brock's wife she said: "He had to do it, I mean its expensive to have a wife like me. I don't care how many times he gets his ass kicked, money is what matters to me."

The Old Country press has yet to varify the claim that Lesnar tapped out half way through his press conference only to change his mind 15 minutes later.
