Brock Lesnar had something to prove at UFC 100 on Saturday night. He had only been in a grand total of four UFC matches, yet he was already heavyweight champion. The critics were out there, as Lesnar certainly had an easy route to the championship. Many had thought Frank Mir should have received the tile shot against Randy Couture in UFC 91. After all, Mir defeated Lesnar just 9 months prior.
Lesnar's actions this past weekend were ludicrous. First of all, he decided not to shake Mir's hand before the fight began. Then after he defeated Mir to retain the championship, he decided to flip off the crowd for quite some time. But Lesnar didnt stop there. He then went into some tirade about how he doesn't drink Budweiser because they don't sponsor him, and how he feels so good that he might even decide to lay on top of his wife, former WWE diva Sable.
Frank Mir did say some choice words for Brock in the days prior to their fight. The gist of what he said was that the UFC is not the WWE, which is the truth. Yet, this somehow enraged Lesnar so much that he acted the way he did.
When I first saw Lesnar acting like such a buffoon, I was thinking that UFC prez Dana White was possibly pushing him to be this way, in an effort to make him look like a heel (bad guy) in pro wrestling. But after hearing how White was enraged at Lesnar's actions, I now realize that despite winning his match, that Lesnar is the biggest loser in the sport at this moment.
