The St. Paul Pioneer Press features a note claiming Brock Lesnar is eyeing October for his MMA debut.
"Former Gophers NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion Brock Lesnar has been vigorously training near his home in Independence for an "ultimate fighting" match in October in Las Vegas. Former heavyweight boxer Scott LeDoux is training Lesnar, a former professional wrestler, for boxing, and Lesnar also has a mentor to help him improve his kicking skills," the paper reads.
The paper does not specify the organization for which Lesnar will fight, but both UFC and PRIDE have events set for Las Vegas in October. Previously speculation suggested Lesnar would be fighting for K-1 Hero's in that same month, but the show is scheduled for Japan.
According to the Wrestling-Observer, Lesnar spent some time with the Miletich camp in Iowa recently, and he is training actively in Minnesota at the same location as UFC's Sean Sherk.
