Post-Fight Antics Dim Lesnar?s Afterglow at UFC 100

On a night when he stood alone atop the UFC heavyweight division, Brock Lesnar?s behavior -- not his destructive, one-sided victory against Frank Mir -- was the subject of post-fight discussion on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Lesnar unified the heavyweight championship in only his fifth professional appearance, as he bullied his way to a technical knockout against Mir -- the only man to defeat him -- in the UFC 100 main event. His tirade afterward -- which included a low blow to the UFC?s primary sponsor, Bud Light, waving his middle fingers at the audience, taunting Mir and exposing plans for a post-fight sex romp with his wife -- drew the ire of UFC President Dana White.

The 32-year-old Lesnar claimed he was headed out to drink a Coors Light because Bud Light would not pay him any money. One of the UFC?s highest-paid fighters, he made $450,000 in disclosed pay for his TKO victory against hall of famer Randy Couture at UFC 91 in November.

?I was blown away,? White said. ?I don?t think in the history of the UFC we?ve had anybody do that. It?s not who we are, and, to be honest, it?s not who he is. You hang with these guys personally, and you get to know them. If he was a dick, I?d tell you right now this guy is a psycho and I don?t know what I?m going to do with him. He?s not. He?s a smart guy. The sponsorship thing was the craziest thing I?ve ever heard in my life.?...

and that's all there is left to say...Wait how about the "it's not fair Lesnar is so much bigger then everyone else"..Like that's his fault. When he first entered the UFC it was "muscle isn't going to win him fights..It doesn't matter how big he is"...After he lost to Mir the first time it was "haha he has no sub defense..He will never be anything in the UFC"

I loved the fact that Lesnar was rape choking him while beating him. Short shots with no ass behind them from Lesnar is still cinder blocks being thrown at your head.

I've never seen one person accomplish so much in a sport span of time and get ZERO credit from some people. If he was a twig,and doing triangle chokes people would love him.

He is every sherdoggers nightmare..They have a much easier time living vicariously through fighters who aren't 280lbs of muscle..

I'll say this right now for arguement sake..IF fedor beats barnett and doesn't go fight lesnar..Time will catch him,and so will one of those lunch box fists...Yes he has been dropped on his head from Randleman..Yes,he beat hong man choi(a guy that is obviously a huge human...),but there is only one Brock lesnar..Just like there is only one Fedor.

If Barnett beats fedor or if Lesnar beats fedor..I'm going to sit back,and watch the suicides,and love every minute of it.."They ruined our sport"

Yeah, I see that too, he's gotten no props for his victories, people were mad that he beat Randy, mad that he got a title shot and I am pretty much of the opinion that he got the title shot because he deserved it. Sure, he could have gotten a few more fights, but he was going to win the heavyweight title sooner or later. I am curious to see who will go up against him next and if people are going to continue to underestimate him. Mir gave him no credit, acting like he dominated the first fight where in reality Mir was trying to escape and saw an opportunity, something Brock made sure didn't happen again, everytime Mir tried for anything he just pulled him back into position and continued beating his head like a speed bag.

I haven't checked the MMA Weekly or Sherdog forums yet today, but I can only imagine the reaction. Gotta love it, 300 pound guys who can't walk to the fridge without getting tired talking about how Lesnar doesn't deserve anything. God bless the internet.

Brock wouldn't be able to take him down and if they did go to the ground, Fedor can actually work off his back and wouldn't just let Brock lay on him. Fedors been destroying freak shows for years.

and that's just it..Brock is a "freakshow" not the UFC heavyweight Champion..Regardless of what he does. I supposed Fedor could take Lesnar's best punch and smile afterwards too.

So which is it. How would fedor fight off his back if lesnar doesnt take him down?.
Matt Linland picked Fedor off the ground,and he is a small guy.

Wow everyone who supports Brock is a fucking idiot. Seriously, MMA just died with a fucking applause, The guy is only good because of his size, nothing else. I will never watch another UFC event with him in it. Everything MMA has fought for to get a some what decent standing is now gone. GG You fat fucking pale nerds.

I realize that you are a pretty big Fedor fan, but Brock hits really fucking hard. I won't say he would get "destroyed" He has enough of a wrestling background to know how to keep his opponent down, and as we saw with Randy, all it takes is one good hit. Fedor is more of a technical fighter, but Lesnar is a fucking beast, and all it takes is one good hit from someone that fast and strong to end a fight.

Who knows, I do hate the Fedor v whoever the ufc has talk, Fedor is under contract with Affliction, who knows what will happen after that contract expires.

It's both. Fedor is the best because of his game plans, not his physical tools. Fedor wouldn't let Brock fall on him and lay on him, and if the fight does go to the ground Fedor would be able to fight off his back, and both are true. Every fight Fedor goes into people want to reason about why he will lose and Fedor destroys them. And Brock is a freak show. He only wins because of his size. That isn't his fault but if he was the same size as the average heavyweight, please believe he wouldn't be champion. Barnett isn't quite as big, but he is a better version of Lesnar and has been Fedor's toughest competition for the last couple years and will be a better fight than Fedor-Lesnar.

No not really. Even if Barnett was 500lbs and 7'5 that doesn't mean he's close to Lesnar. There is a big difference between a beer gut hanging off your body,and a back you could broadcast TV on.
