Paul Heyman is standing behind Brock Lesnar as he takes on the UFC full force. Paul was one of the people that got Brock into the WWE in the beginning of his career. Now he’s going from acting out fights to the real deal.
The Sun sat down with their own SunSport columnist Paul Heyman and talked about the 31 year old heavyweight fighter, who already seems to be causing quite the uproar. Last Saturday Brock took his first fight against the Texas Crazy Horse at the Minneapolis Target Center and showed that he may still have some of his WWE ways about him.
Clearly trying to get to his opponent and his team, Lesnar mocked them when they were in their corner by pretending to have a lasso and yelled “I fell off the horse against Frank Mir, and I got back on the stallion tonight and rode off on it.”
Lesnar made some lame excuse for his smack talk by saying “That’s just me, I was excited. That was for Heath’s camp because on the way out to the Octagon there were some things said before the fight. But I had the last laugh and the last thing to say – and that is all that matters to me.”
We’re not sure this ring is the right ring for Brock. Here’s what Heyman had to say:
“That’s the real Brock Lesnar coming out. That’s Lesnar through and through. He thrives in an environment of trash talking, in your face competition. He wants you to know that he’s better than you – and by the way, ‘you suck’!”
Check out The Sun for the rest of the interview. Do you think Lesnar will last in the Ultimate Fight Champion or is he trying to make it a circus?
I have watched both of Lesnar’s fights and the first one I couldn’t wait to see. Here’s this bigger than life guy who you think is going to destroy his opponent so I made a little wager on the fight against Frank Mir and lost because the big ass tapped out.
So last week when Lesnar took the ring again I made another sucker bet on him thinking there is no way a man with no neck is going to tap out two times in a row. Lucky for me he pounced the Texas Crazy Horse right from the start and never let up or for that matter got off of him. Let’s face it– the ‘Horse’ had to know that if Lesnar laid on him there was no getting up.
