Brock Lesnar apologizes after a "Whip the dog session" with UFC Prez Dana White

[AllenRocks]

Brock went all WWE last night after he beat Frank Mir and started talking shit about Mir and their sponsor Bud Light.

I'm glad he was man enough to apologize because him walking around the ring, giving the entire audience the finger, was extremely fucked up.

 

[Betallsports]

Didn't think he had it in him....

 

[Rambo]

I dont think dana cared about what he said other then the bud light thing. That is one of their biggest sponsors.

 

[mrcrash]

He shouldn't apologize. It was funny and entertaining. Mir was a dick and Brock took care of that. He said nothing bad about Bud Light except that they won't pay him.

How is it extremely fucked up? The fans were talking shit the entire match to him and his wife. I heard nothing but people saying fucked up shit to Sable. Mir talked non stop shit leading up to this match and he got his ass whipped. If Lesnar wouldn't of said nothing about Bud Light it would have been okay but since they pay UFC shit loads of money he is forced to apologize. The middle finger is not what the apology is for.

I'm a fan of Brock. I have been since his WWE days. I'm glad he kicked ass.

Brock did nothing wrong except call out a sponsor that Dana White personally brought in to the UFC. Bud Light is one of Dana Whites biggest accomplishments and I am sure Dana took that as a personal slap in his face. In the long run it won't matter though as Brock will be lining Dana's pockets if he continues to evolve.

carlos brito is no fan of that wwf wrassler...

white can talk trash & be a tough guy...

but sponsor dollars are huge...and that was not smart.

 

[SportSavant]

does anyone have the link to his "antics"?

didnt see it

espn had his quote that he does not drink bud light...

because bud light did not pay him...

some nonsense like that.

 

[TonyMar]

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.”

Stupid stupid move from Lesnar. No clue what he was thinking. It's never a good idea to make one of the best sponsors pissed.

 

[rayray]

what the fuck is white going to do??? without lesnar in the ufc, the heavyweight division is absolute dog shit. he should tell white to go fuck himself too. ufc needs lesnar a hell of a lot more than lesnar needs ufc. lesnar cant help it that budlight is too fucking stupid to sponsor the ufc heavyweight champ. seriously, if you can sponsor ufc, but not its biggest draw, then you deserve to called out for being absolute fucking morons.

Lesnar's salary is paid because of that sponsor money. He's paid like half a mill every time he fights by the UFC plus bonuses and sponsor money which probably puts him way over a mil. The guy is not starving and chose to be in the UFC and not WWE.

 

[ElTaino]

i understand that dissing the sponsors is a no-no, but bud wouldn't back out of any deal anyway. bud did a study and when they asked st louis males 18-35 to name 10 rams, most couldnt. when they then asked them to name 10 ufc fighters... jackpot. im not sure it was all dana white who brought ufc to bud, maybe it was the other way around. but you have to respect anyone who has a life size poster of traci lords on his office wall

 

[Rude]

Bud Light won't do shit, cuz there are 3-5 more beer companies who'll jump right in, in no time.

They need it more than the UFC.

He did not chose to be in the UFC over the WWE. He left the WWE to pursue an NFL career. He actually almost made the team. He had a few sacks in preseason, but was one of the last cuts on the team.

LOL Bud Light needs it more then the UFC???...... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA Your kidding me right? UFC wishes it was worth 20% of what Budweiser was worth.

I hope UFC signs Fedor that would be a great fight between him and Brock. If Brock keeps improving Nobody will beat him... He is a freak for his size.... Fedor is the only one... People forget Brock was a great amatuer wrestler. But who knows.. MMA is strange...
