The Phenom is a great athlete inside the squared circle but many would have questioned about his skill if he had ever stepped foot in the octagon.

But, his appearance at UFC 121 certainly created a buzz about his potential work in the company and that too having a feud with the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar.

At UFC 121, The Undertaker had an on-screen interview with the Canadian MMA journalist, Ariel Helwani after which people started speculating about his potential work with UFC.

However, during the podcast with Steve Austin, The Deadman revealed that he was there ‘to pick a fight’.

He said, “I was there to pick a fight. Yeah, [Lesnar] knew I was there, but my whole mindset there was to pick a fight and start a buzz, and I knew it wouldn’t take much. That was nothing. I mean, it was so simple, but it created such a buzz.”

The Undertaker said that the confrontation was ‘vaguely’ covered. He reflected on what went through his mind at the event.

He said, “I don’t think he thought he had very many fights left in him anyway and maybe he would transition back to the WWE. And my train of thought is he’s coming out of that world coming back into the WWE while I’m trying to position myself to be one of the first to get to him. He went out of his way to come my way, so I took advantage of the situation.”
