Brock Lesnar Is "Blessed and Honored" to Compete at UFC 141

It's only a matter of time before Brock Lesnar makes his presence known inside the Octagon again. 

Lesnar will make his anticipated return tomorrow night when he headlines UFC 141 against former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem.

Lesnar is returning after a 14-month layoff, during which he battled diverticulitis. The illness hindered his opportunity to challenge for the UFC heavyweight title. 

Now, the former UFC heavyweight champion is confident and healthy to compete this weekend.

"I just feel blessed that I'm here. I feel honored and blessed. I just want to get into the Octagon and perform," Lesnar told MMAFighting.com.

Given his health issues and extended layoff, Lesnar is an underdog against the 255-pound Overeem. 

However, the odds stacked against Lesnar have made the former WWE superstar hungrier than ever to walk away with the victory. He is focused on regaining the heavyweight title.

"I want to be the best heavyweight champion in the world," he said. " I don't think there is another heavyweight in the world in this division that has done what I've done."
