Talking shitloads of smack, shit talking a major event sponsor, yipping about how he's gonna go home and get on top of his wife. I mean ya, be happy you won, but shit, the guy just made a huge fucking ass of himself, and I'm sure just made himself in the eyes of most fans a hated target. I guess you can be a huge fucking douchebag when there's no one in the competition set to beat you. Either way, I was getting into following his rising career until he pulled this shit. Now I can't wait to see someone tear him apart. Guess it'll go well for those ratings. I wonder if he'll catch any shit over slamming Bud Light?..

I love the fact that Lesnar took all the shit that Mir was talking to him and shoved it down his throat. Did you watch the UFC 100 preview on Spike Thursday night? One of Mir's training partners was pretending he was Lesnar and doing the tired "he's just a pro wrestler" gimmick, and then Mir hit him once and the training partner hit the mat, looked up, and said "it's not WWE". Frank Mir talked incredible amounts of shit to Lesnar, and Lesnar came in there and made him eat his words.
Unfortunately, there are two main groups of fans that dominate MMA right now. There are the unknowledgeable fans that you hear booing whenever a fight goes to the ground because they don't understand jiu jitsu, and then there are the douche bags that populate MMA forums and call themselves "MMA purists" that hate to see a superior athlete come in and rocket to the top of the sport with only a few years training. Neither group appears to like Brock, and if the UFC is going to hit the next level of popularity they need for people to be able to emotionally invest in the fighters like pro wrestling fans do with the "faces" and "heels". Brock is just a big, tough mother fucker that can say whatever he wants because no one can stop him, and he is going to seriously increase PPV buy rates with that attitude...
