I've waited so long for this event, it's going to be amazing

Lesnar won. Quite convincingly, big strong punches on the ground until Mir stopped responding.

Brit Michael Bisping lost unfortunatly, in a pretty brutal KO. Here's a vid

Made a bit of money off Lesnar's win. We had a great night too watching all the classic fights on that channel they set up.

Good times.

BROCK LESNAR has issued an apology following his appalling behaviour at the end of his UFC 100 clash with Frank Mir.
The former WWE star secured a TKO win over Mir before swearing at the crowd, taunting his beaten opponent and mocking a major UFC sponsor.

But following a heated confrontation with UFC president Dana White, Lesnar admitted his actions were out of order.

The 32-year-old claimed his emotions boiled over because he was so happy at avenging the loss he suffered to Mir in their UFC 81 bout last year.

He said: "First of all I want to apologise. I acted very unprofessionally after the fight.

"Dana came back and we had a whip the dog session. I admitted I screwed up and I apologise.

"I have nothing against Frank. The only thing I have against Frank was that he beat me. We both talked a lot of c**p and in the end I was just doing a job

"I'm a sore loser and I don't like to get beat. I believe that when Frank and I first fought, I gave that fight to him.

"So there was a lot of emotion in this fight for me I love this company, I want to be a fighter, I've wanted to be a fighter ever since I was a little kid.

"You guys want to get to know me a little bit right now. I've been a fighter my whole life, wrestling was my way out, I wasn't the smartest kid on the block — I didn't like school .

"I liked getting one-on-one with my opponent and that's how I handled my business.

"I came from a business that is pure entertainment and maybe there's still a little of that in me.

"You guys ask me all the time if there is anything I can drag over from the WWE."

Lesnar was roundly booed by the soldout 11,000 crowd at the Mandalay Bay following the fight.

But he risked the wrath of UFC supremo White by claiming he would drinks a Coors Lite to celebrate his win — and blasted major UFC sponsor Bud Lite for not giving him any money.

Lesnar added: "I apologised to Bud Lite — I'm not biased, I'll drink any beer.

"Tonight I'm drinking Bud Lite all night!"


Kore maybe you could change the title to just UFC for future fights you know??

DANA WHITE hit out at Brock Lesnar's conduct following his UFC 100 win over Frank Mir.
Lesnar was crowned undisputed heavyweight champion after securing a second-round TKO victory.

But in the immediate aftermath of the fight, the ex-WWE star swore at the crowd, taunted Mir and publicly mocked a major UFC sponsor.

And UFC president White quickly revealed he had no choice but to read the riot act to the 32-year-old star.

Lesnar has since issued a groveling apology to White and the UFC for his actions.

But White said: "I don't like that [type of behaviour].

"What he was doing out there was not real. I told him, 'You don't have to act like somebody you're not. This isn't the WWE, you're an amazing athlete what you've accomplished is phenomenal — let that speak for itself'.

"I prefer him to be whoever he really is.

"I don't tell these guys to be anybody and I'm not trying to get somebody to act all crazy so that we think we're going to do more pay-per-views — that's not what this sport's all about.

"Never ever have I ever gone to anybody and said, 'Hey, get up there and act crazy'.

"That's not what we do, that's not the business that I'm in. I'm in the fight business.

"We take real guys who have normal lives. They come from all different backgrounds and they fight.

"Their personalities show in their interviews and the emotions of winning and losing or in their fight styles.

"Brock's talented, he's accomplished something that nobody's ever accomplished and I said let that speak for you, not that crazy s***."

White added: "I was blown away. In the history of the UFC we've never had anything like that — it's not who we are.

"But I can tell you it's not who he is. If he was a d*** I would tell you right now, 'This guy is uncontrollable and he's an idiot and I don't know what to do with him'.

"But he's not. He's a smart guy. I believe what he said during his apology. He's been in WWE for so long you know he thinks he has to jump in there and be the heel and do whatever.

"The Bud beer thing, It's the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life. I've spent a lot of money on him tonight and what, they're going to give him $20,00 or something?

"It was craziness and I've walked into a lot of locker rooms after fights but have never had a talk like that.

"He apologised. Believe me when I tell you he apologised. Brock went so far over the top tonight it was — I can't describe it, I can't put it into word.

"It was WWE, that's what it was, but can I tell you he's not ever going to do it again? No.

"In a million years I would never have thought somebody would do that but we had a talk.

"He told me he was sorry, he told me he was embarrassed.

"I'll take his word for it this time and we'll move on. If he does it again, that'll be a fun *******ing Press conference!"


Brock knows what he's doing, this should bring in buys for the next fight, they need to have Lesnar v Mir 3.

BOBBY LASHLEY claims he is the man who can end Brock Lesnar's dominance of the UFC heavyweight division.
The former WWE superstar has signed a deal with rival wrestling outfit TNA which allows him to compete in MMA while under contract with the firm.

And the 33-year-old reckons he has what it takes to dethrone Lesnar as king of the UFC's 265lbs division.

Lashley said: "I've seen Brock fight and I think he is a great champion.

"I'm not going to say anything bad about Brock because he is the champion.

"But my sights are set on him and I'm not saying that I want to fight him because he is 'the wrestling guy'.

"I am saying that because I am a heavyweight fighter and he's the heavyweight champ.

"Eventually, I do want to fight Brock for that title. I want to fight Brock and I do have a game plan to beat him."

Lashley also revealed his decision to compete in pro-wrestling and MMA simultaneously is because of his strong love for both.

Speaking to ESPN, he added: "I want to do both because I can. TNA is giving me the opportunity to compete in both sports which I have a passion for.

"I will bring MMA fans to wrestling and wrestling fans to MMA."

TNA president Dixie Carter added: "This is a great opportunity for Bobby to do something that has never been done before.

"He is the perfect ambassador for both sports. We are excited to have him join TNA — he is a true star who brings so much to the table as a member of our roster."
