Lesnar Loves Being UFC's Biggest Villain

Tens of millions of viewers worldwide saw Lesnar take a page from a pro wrestling script with his crude post-fight antics. Somewhere, WWE owner Vince McMahon would be smiling at the spectacle — except the monster he created is making money for someone else.

Lesnar's technique was crude and rudimentary — understandable for someone with only five MMA fights — but the blows he threw left Mir's face battered and bloodied.

And then the fun began. Lesnar — who refused to tap gloves with Mir in a show of sportsmanship beforehand — talked trash to him afterward. Lesnar celebrated by looking maniacally into a television camera through the octagon fence and shouting as drool spewed onto the steel mesh.

He flipped off the crowd. He solicited more boos with his hands and barked, "I love it! Keep it going!" during a post-fight interview. He then committed the ultimate sin — insulting UFC's top sponsor. Lesnar said he was going to celebrate by drinking Coors Light since "Bud Light won't pay me nothing."

"Hell, I may even get on top of my wife tonight," Lesnar said as his spouse (former WWE valet Rena "Sable" Mero) laughed. "See y'all later."

Anyone not heading toward the exits was incensed or appalled. No fighter in UFC history — not even self-proclaimed "Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz — left an event so universally despised.

Just like in rasslin', Lesnar's actions are shtick. After what he described as a backstage "whip-the-dog" lambasting from UFC president Dana White, Lesnar apologized during a post-fight news conference. Lesnar said he got carried away because he wanted to avenge a prior loss to Mir. Lesnar even chugged a Bud Light. But those who don't pay attention to the UFC 100 post-media coverage will never see this softer side.

"I'm used to selling pay-per-view and tickets," a subdued Lesnar said. "I come from a business that's purely entertainment."

As much as he doesn't want to admit it, so does White...More?
