The champ exposes it to Dan Wetzel:

Despite his immense size and years of performing as a big character in pro wrestling, Lesnar, 32, is a soft spoken guy. He's a farm kid from South Dakota , who now lives up here, amidst the rolling hills and fishing lakes a couple hours drive northwest of the Twin Cities.

He's most comfortable with down-to-earth people he's known for years. His 10-week training camp is run by his full-time coach, Marty Morgan, who worked with Lesnar at Minnesota . One training partner is UFC fighter Chris Tuchscherer, who after his last fight immediately worked three weeks running a tractor on a 10,000-acre farm in North Dakota.

...

He, his wife and infant son live on a secluded, wooded plot of land. A second-grade daughter from a previous relationship lives in this 10,000-population town. It’s why he’s here. "I see her as much as the court allows," he said.

Family is everything to him. He’s one of the few athletes you’ll ever met who not only speaks about trying to be the best father, but also the best husband. Then he appears to back it up. His hobbies are hunting and fishing and working his farm.

"Fighting is not my life," the 32-year-old says. "My family is my life."
