Do you smell what the Brock is cooking? I do and I love it.
First he demolished the Hall of Famer Randy "The Natural" Coutre, to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Next on his list was to avenge a loss from his first ever UFC bout vs. interim champion Frank Mir (interim status was because Randy Coutre retired after capturing the Heavyweight Title with Mir never beating him for it)
It was clear from day 1 that this fight had a "and this time it's personal tone." During a pre-fight press conference a week ago Lesnar was being show footage of the previous loss on a loop (the fight lasted only 1:30) After a few minutes Brock became so enraged he knocked the mic down and stormed out. As he was exiting he punched a door. No big deal, except for the fact that the door was knocked right off it's hinges. Now if that isn't the kind of thing that impresses you fine let's get down to brass tax. Lesnar won the fight. He dominated the smaller Mir and gave his opponent no room breathe, not even after the fight had ended.
After recording the knockout Lesnar proceeded to taunt Everyone; Mir, while barely conscious and being attended to by doctors had to deal with the massive Lesnar screaming in his face only letting up after releasing a wild cackle into the air. Lesnar also refused to tap gloves before the fight. The fans, he flipped off while celebrating. He spit his mouthgaurd into the camera lens. The sponsors, he pointed to the giant Bud Light logo emblazoned on the Octagon floor and with a mic in hand said "I have a cooler filled with Coors Light because Bud won't pay me anything."
Lesnar has overnight, become the most hated villain in all of sports. Worse than T.O., worse than Manny Ramirez, worse than Barry Bonds, worse than John Rocker, worse than Tonya Harding, worse than Michael Vick, maybe even worse than O.J. as he was never truly hated as a player. He may even have eclipsed fictional sports villains. Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago think Brock Lesnar is a jerk. Johnny from the karate kid could not find a bodybag big enough. While I am on the subject if anyone has any suggestions I will compile a list of the greatest fictional sports villains.
