So Brock Lesnar, in the parlance of pro wrestling, had gone straight heel.

After bludgeoning Frank Mir to retain the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight championship at the hyped UFC 100, the former pro wrestling star decided to put on a real show.

Lesnar ran around the octagon flipping off the Mandalay Bay Events Center crowd with both middle fingers. He shouted at Mir as the challenger sat on a stool trying to regain his equilibrium. Mir stood up and they went sort of nose-to-broken nose before Lesnar cackled with laughter.

In the post-fight interview, Lesnar encouraged the booing fans to “keep going” before continuing to taunt Mir.

No one and nothing was spared. Lesnar even turned his attention to the UFC itself, which paid him an estimated $3 million for the fight, pointing at the giant Bud Light advertisement in the middle of the octagon.

“I’m drinking a cooler full of Coors Light, Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay me anything.”

Anything for the children at home, big guy?

“Hell, I might even get on top of my wife tonight.”

With his clown-show antics, Brock Lesnar just became the greatest villain in modern fighting. From refusing to tap gloves prefight in a sportsmanlike ritual to this over-the-top rant that came right out of the silly wrestling circus.

“Straight WWE,” said a stunned Dana White, the president of the UFC. “Brock went so far over the top tonight I can’t even describe it. I don’t think in the history of the UFC we’ve ever done anything like that.”

Postfight, White pushed his way into Lesnar’s crowded locker room and took the big guy into the bathroom for a private “discussion.” Lesnar himself described it as “a whip-the-dog session.”

“With women in here you don’t want to know what I said,” White said. It worked, Brock showed up at the press conference smiling, supposedly contrite and even drinking a Bud Light.

“First and foremost I want to apologize,” Lesnar said. “I acted very unprofessionally after the fight. I screwed up and I apologize.

heres my favorite part:

I apologize to Bud Light. I’m not biased, I drink any beer.”It was mostly a chance for laugh lines, but it was still an apology. Lesnar said the pent-up energy of avenging a loss to Mir caused him to go crazy. “I’m a sore loser,” he said. “I don’t like to get beat. I believe I gave that fight to him. So there was a lot of emotion in this fight for me.

“Man, I was so jacked up. I’m used to selling pay-per-view tickets. I come from a business that is purely the entertainment business.”

And so that was the excuse. Lesnar didn’t flip, he just flipped the switch back into Vince McMahon’s operation where nothing is too over the top. The UFC, however, is real and it has tried to position itself not as a blood sport but one based on sportsmanship and mutual respect....

i thought that whole bit was pretty funny.
 
i mark hard for brock lesner and with out the wwe there is no him. yes i know he tryed of for the viking's year's ago didnt fall throught then he started mma i know all about his amature background but he needed wwe to get on. i dont see him just walking on to ufc with out them. and the whole world is blaming the wwe for the things he do they cant catch a break. his wife is a freaking ex wwe diva.

I think you read my comment wrong.

I agree that without WWE .. he couldnt have been a "WALK ON" to UFC ... Because of his name recognition alone im sure obviously it was a mutual interest for both parties.

But I'm not going to sit here and say without WWE he never woulda made it to UFC ... If Brock Lesnar without WWE decided to do MMA .. the BEAST that he is ... I'm sure would've got him into UFC at some point if that is what he so chose.

Ofcourse, the $ that he makes in UFC is largely due to his persona which WWE helped build so in that regard he may owe that to WWE but dont sell his talent short like he wouldnt of ended up doing something in the world of fighting if he so chose. He also got plenty of "promo" practice with WWE which obviously helped Brock so far in the UFC.

In all honesty tho, not everyone gets paid boatloads in UFC compared to other organizations ... One of my friends Step-dad is Paul Buentello (sp?) and he gets paid more now in some other organization (strike force?) than he did in UFC ... So I was told.

i know what brock can do i would never sale him short on anything. i just think if he wouldnt have went to the wwe he would still be out there moving logs or something or trying to play football like before. i know all about his back ground and he is A BEAST im sure of that. i was just pissed on how espn and the media is trying to jump on the E .this guy is a grown man and he makes his on decision.
