In a recent interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, WWE legend The Undertaker opened up on his appearance at UFC 121 several years ago, noting that he was in attendance that night specifically to pick a fight with Brock Lesnar.

“I was there to pick a fight, I was sent there personally to pick a fight, I was unaware that Dana White had no clue that it was going to happen, which I felt horrible about after the fact, I thought there had been some kind of discussion between him and Vince.

At that time, Brock was so hot in the MMA world, obviously, it was like, why not try it, there was no personal animosity really, it was basically me saying, you left our world, I’m going to come into your world and call you out, that was it.

Obviously, it was a huge media storm, I was trying to get him back in my world, this was huge if I could make it happen, that’s what it was all about.”
