If you watched UFC 100, you likely saw Brock Lesnar absolutely lose his mind at the end of his fight. He went up to a barely conscious Frank Mir to talk more trash after winning the fight, he gave the entire Vegas and Pay Per View audiences the one finger salute, and he verbally berated the UFC’s biggest sponsor of the night, Bud Light, because they wouldn’t pay him. SI.com transcribed the whole thing to make my life a little bit easier.
“I’m going to go home tonight and drink a Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay me,” said Lesnar, pointing at the logo of the presenting sponsor of the event. “I’m going to sit down with my friends and family and hell, I might even get on top of my wife tonight.”
While Lesnar may have looked like an uncontrollable loose cannon after the fight, he was a changed man when he walked into the press room soon after. Wearing a wide smile and holding a Bud Light, he took a big swig as he looked at White and said, “I love Bud Light! I must have caught a hard knee to the head.”
Sure, the apology is nice, but I just ain’t gonna buy it. Lesnar’s act after the fight hasn’t been the only thing about him that has bothered the hell of me this week. I hated the scene of him flipping out during the video of him losing to Mir to first time around. I hated seeing Dana White have to tell Lesnar to stay put a couple of different times during the pre-fight press conferences. I hate the fact that the face of the heavyweight division is a guy that Cagewriter’s Maggie Hendricks said has been “grumpy” since his amateur wrestling days.
You see, Brock hasn’t been around all that long. He doesn’t understand the fight that we’ve all gone through for the last few years. We, as MMA fans, fight for legitimacy every day. If you read us here, you’ve seen the struggle for a long time. However, when the main event star of the UFC and reigning king of the heavyweight division is cursing out sponsors and talking about screwing his 42 year old wife, MMA looks more and more like the WWE. That’s not good.
There’s something else that Brock doesn’t likely know about. The rage of the man that signs his checks. You see, Dana White is not a patient guy. He’s dealt with quite a few men in day that he deemed “un-controllable.” There was this guy named Tito Ortiz. He was a huge star. He made the UFC tons of money, then he made some decisions that Dana didn’t like. Soon, he found himself losing quite a few fights. He found himself booked in fights that were designed to put over his opponents. He fought up and coming stars like Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida. After his contract was up, he was told to go elsewhere. Most recently, he was completed banned from the UFC 100 Fan Expo.
Brock, don’t end up like Tito. Don’t wind up in the nether regions of the MMA world because you wouldn’t fall in line. Instead of giving the hardcore fans that hate you the finger, just ignore us. After all, if you keep winning, we’ll all have to deal with you being around. If you don’t, Dana White and his band of merry men will find ways to destroy you.

Just another white trash, empty headed, silverback that will be the demise of the sport if he sticks around. Wrestling attracks all the toothless inbreds that society has to offer and if Brock is allowed to repeat his antics I fear that I will have to resort to womens water polo as my next contact sport of choice. Brock, you’re a schmuck! I shun you’re big watermelon sized caveman head!

That has to be the most colorful comment that we have ever got.
He does have a huge head, doesn’t he?
Reply to Anthony De FrancoI actually thought it was awesome what Lesnar did, just shows he doesn’t give a damn. Let them have it Brock give them hell!

Normally, I don’t really care what athletes say in press conferences, but this really might have done damage to the UFC. UFC 100 was the biggest event in the history of MMA. Brock picked a bad time to act like an ass.
If Brock keeps “giving them hell”, He’s going to have to do it in Japan, because Dana White wont stand for it.
