Quoteworthy:
"That's not the kind of thing our sport is known for. Those kind of antics and those kind of comments. I know there's a lot of people who are going to tune to see when he gets beat now. I got 10 texts that night watching the fight [saying] 'what an idiot.' We really don't need to know that he's getting on his wife that night. And I'm thinking what is that, a special occasion? You're married to Sable, you think that would be happening all the time."
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion and UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture sounds off on 'Brockgate' stemming from Lesnar's post-fight meltdown at UFC 100. Real or contrived, 'Naytch' isn't down with the hamhockery from last Saturday night but does concede that more people will be tuning into to see him take a fall. The question is, will you?

Haha, I saw this radio interview the other day. God, the DJs were so annoying I couldn’t watch the whole thing. But suffice it to say that Randy was NOT impressed with Lesnar’s post-fight performance.

AND TO ALL UFC FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Why cant you take your kids to a UFC event. Its called mixed Martial Arts, and last time I check there are millions of kids practicing one stlye or another so why cant they watch UFC events. Kids compete at the same events that hold full contact adult matches so whats the problem? getrawbc your point is invalid, and I really like when you say “To ALL UFC FIGHTERS” You think that after there 12 week training camp sparring and everything else that goes on, and then fight night rolls around, these guys in the cage dont know its real?
by lokie on Jul 15, 2009 10:57 AM EDT up reply actions
getrawbc, I agree and disagree to a point.
MMA is a sport, but at times can be violent. I think America has become desensitised to violence in general, but still gets very offended at sexual remarks/cursing – which I personally find moronic. Though I dont find Brock’s antics offensive, MMA is still having a hard enough time getting accepted by the public.
If you are gonna bring your 8 year old kid to a fight, and have no problems with him watching Brock smash Mir’s face in – you shouldnt flip out when he talks about fvcking his wife.
by WB on Jul 15, 2009 11:05 AM EDT up reply actions
That’s all I meant. Mir was yelling at Brock about hey my kids are here. But honestly, I don’t think that’s the place for young kids. Especially the fighters kids who might see their parent KO’ed like Bisping. I mean picture your 8 year old son or daughter watching that happen to you. Nuff said!
AND I KNOW THE FIGHTERS AINT READING THIS RETARDS!! I WAS JUST SOUNDING OFF!!!
AND I MAY BE MISTAKEN, BUT I DON’T KNOW TOO MANY LEGAL SPOTS WHERE 8 TO 10 YEAR OLD KIDS ARE MMA FIGHTERS SMASHING EACH OTHER WITH ELBOWS AND SHIT. THEY MAY BE WRESTLING OR DOING BJJ OR KARATE, KICKBOXING, BUT GROUND AND POUND?? LITTLE WHAT 2 OUNCE GLOVES? I CAN’T PICTURE A 11 YEAR OLD WITH STITCH IN HIS CORNER CLOSING A GASH SO MY POINT ABOUT THIS AINT FOR KIDS IS THAT!!!!

Besides that “murr” was on a roll pre fight handing out trash talk to brock! Get over it move on!! Brock is a beast and will be chanp for a long long time so get used to it!! what he did after this fight was no worse than his post fight speech after the herring fight! with the exception of the budlight comment which like i said was probably not a good idea

I have been having dreams of Fedor coming to the UFC and literally walking out of the cage with one of Lesnars arms. No shit talk after the fight, just snaps his arm off, holds it over his head as he walks off. Then I wake up and remember that Fedor will never be in the UFC :(

I first thought Carwin would be the one to shut Brock up, but now I think Brock would take him down rather easily and beat him the same way he beat Mir and Herring…I mean Gonzaga took Carwin down pretty easily and he also rocked Carwin with that punch, but I think Brock punches harder and could take him down easier than Gonzaga. Brock probably has a better chin that Gonzaga, but that doesn’t mean if Carwin connects Brock’s not going to sleep, but I just don’t see Carwin being able to hit Brock in the chin that easily.

ARodOfIron – good for taking a moral stand, but I am sure Dana doesnt care that he lost your PPV buy when 10 WWE fans or people that “order it just to check out this Brock guy” order it.

Come on, OD old son … this is even worse than your Rashad pick. If you’re rooting for Lytle, fine … but you can’t seriously think he’s going to beat Condit, can you? All he has is wild, inaccurate bombs and a great chin. He’s getting soundly outclassed.
by Jeremyjackson on Jul 15, 2009 1:38 PM EDT up reply actions
Condit would be nuts to trade with Lytle; it’s not goin down like that at all, his ground game is also very underrated; it’s one of those situations where IMO Condit has one way to win, and thats by decision. Lytle ALWAYS has a chance of KOing his @ss. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on Condit, I really enjoyed his last fight against Kampmann, and he won me over. But Lytle is my boy, and being the loyal fan that I am, I don’t jump ship!!
WAR LYTLE!
by O damn he got caught on Jul 15, 2009 2:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Besides look at the guys that beat Lytle; not that Condit doesn’t have a great ground game, but lets face it; he’ll have to hold him down for 15 mins, stay in top position, land some good shots and hope for a decision. If he can hold Chris down it’s all him, but Lytle’s never been finished, subbed or KO’d and Condit isn’t going to be the first person to do it. He’s got a great chin, an underrated ground game (imo) and loads of heart. I can’t pick against a fighter like that! No matter how bad they get hurt/beat down they’re always in the fight.
by O damn he got caught on Jul 15, 2009 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions
And nerves/sh!tty gameplanning is what got Rashad KO’d, he had the ability to win that fight.

Why so serious?
I mean really… who cares what he did or said after the fight. For fucks sake people, have a sense of humor and get the stick, or should I say, horseshoe out your asses. That comment about Coors light, and getting on top of his wife was funny. If you don’t find it funny, then you really need to lighten up. Anyone that’s been with any woman for a long time knows that sex becomes sort of a job, instead of something you look forward to. He was making a JOKE… Damn, when people don’t like you… they will attack anything you do or say no matter what. Sad.
by SkoGoody on Jul 15, 2009 10:57 AM EDT reply actions
Agree with ya on the sex issue. You know what else it could’ve been? HIs wife just had a baby like four weeks ago, so they probably weren’t having any sex since the birth. He was probably thinking that he might get lucky, but that would’ve been up to his wife. Only she knows if she’s healed up enough for that!

Sex as a job??? You either aint doing it right or you need to find yourslf a wild ass chick or guy, if that’s what your into. And what he said was funny? Maybe when I was twelve I would have laughed, but in my adult life I don’t find it funny at all. For a grown man to say that on a public forum and act the way he did after he won was just gross! The only thing that I found funny was they both beat each other once! Your fn even Brock, you have nothing over Mir except that you won the last match.

LOL Mac…you know, in all honesty, with the 1 1/2 year ring rust off and a match against Nog, I might actually favor Randy in the rematch based on their first fight. It really took getting clipped, and I’m not so sure Brock would catch him again. This nonsense about Fedor being the ONLY fighter in the world able to beat Brock is getting out of control. Let’s think about it, MIR beat him. I don’t care how much Brock’s improved in a year, there are several HW’s out there that would DUMMY Mir as well.

I’m a keyboard hater of Brock. I don’t hate on any other fighters that’s a fact. I didn’t say Brock doesn’t have any skills. I just said I think there are other fighters that would be able to beat Brock besides just Fedor. I feel that if Randy and Brock had a rematch it might go differently. I don’t think anything I’ve said in that post shows a low MMA IQ. You’re a Brock hugger so don’t talk to me about MMA knowledge.

That’s what I’m saying. Everyone wants to talk about how huge of a beast Brock is. Let’s get some of these ex-NFLers in there(you know the guys that beat Brock down when he tried to play) and see just how far his physical attributes get him. Everyone talks about Brock like he’s just like Godzilla or something, when in reality he’s not even a 300 lb dude. Surely we’ve all seen 300 lb men before. And if anyone is curious or wants to ask…yes, after 100 I’m a Brock hater. He can take that WWE BS somewhere else. The same people that say you love it because it’s “real” also hate Rashad for showboating. Also I doubt it’s real I think it’s just the old WWE coming out and trying to sell fights. Douchebaggery for the sake of selling fights does NOT=real. It = being a freaking troll.

LOl diceman do you realize those most of those NFL guy’s have no MMA game they have been training most of their lives to be a football player. Brock was always a wresler and tried out because of his physical ability and was pretty good but not trained enough to be a football player. If you think Brock won purely on his is a joke. Ever heard of Hong Man or Bob Sapp? And as far as you hating on Brock do you realize your contradicting your comments on Brock with your 10th grader insults LOL.

In a way yes, I am being hypocritical by calling him a douche, but at the same time, not really. I would never condone putting an innocent person in jail, but if they did something wrong sure they should go. I would never take a cheap shot on someone without warrant, but if they were harming someone I loved then sure I’d take a cheap shot. And I wouldn’t call just anyone a tool or a douchebag for no reason, but if you act like a tool or a douchebag on national tv, I will call you these things.

Mir said way worse before the fight and hyping the fight doesn’t make it any more right because they were personal attacks on Brock and I for one am glad Brock made Mir taste his own medicine man to man.

No, nothing Mir said before the fight came close to being as classless and disrespectful as what Brock did after the fight. Let’s not act like Brock was a churchboy before the fight either, he was talking his fair share of smack too. Plenty of talk about how Mir was lucky the ref saved his life and how he was going to do this and do that to Mir. So yes, prefight hype IS different then talking smack to a battered opponent, flipping off the fans, and acting like a general jackass.

Diceman, he was cut from the Vikings because he couldn’t go 80% ar practices. Not because he sucked. He would have made a great D lineman. He was hurting people left and right because he doesn’t understand the meaning of practice.

No no no jay. I don’t know where you have read this about Brock, but in the future you should not consider them a reliable source. Let’s look at a quote about this issue…“He’s a project. Big time,” Vikings player personnel director Scott Studwell said. “As much as you’d like to take a shot on a guy like him because of his athletic history, do you do it at the expense of cutting another player? Probably not. At the expense of taking reps away from a promising young player? Probably not. With Brock, it’s like you’re starting from scratch.” He would not be big as an NFL lineman, and since he hasn’t played since high school it’s absurd to think the reason he didn’t make it was because he was bullying everyone. NFL teams LOVE that kind of stuff, and if he was destroying everyone on the field I guarantee you they would have worked with him. Instead they saw a guy that was an average sized lineman with virtually no football skills so they cut him from the practice squad. These Lesnar myths grow more and more everyday.
by Diceman on Jul 15, 2009 12:50 PM EDT up reply actions
As most NFL players would have no MMA skills Diceman. Lesnar was competing and one of the best wrestlers in the world. And I’m not talking WWE Diceman. Your hatered for Brock makes you seem like a A hole by the way too and a disgrace to us MMA fans with your hate for a actual MMA fighter.

I understand he was raw. Thousands of talented athletes are cut every year and could give similiar or better excuses for why they didn’t make the team.
The bottom line is, as I said above, if the guy was good enough to play – the Vikings wouldn’t have cut him. Period. And if Brock thought he was good enough to have a future in the NFL, he would have tried again.

He took the money is what he did that the WWE was willing to pay him. If the WWE never made their offer he would probaly be in the NFL maybe not as a starter but he has the tools to be a good football player?! We will never know now but he was a great and now is a great MMa fighter the end.

Brock tried to play in the NFL AFTER being in the WWE so I don’t think you have a point there Beaver. Honestly Beaver you may think I’m an A-hole because of my posts on this thread about Brock, but I don’t feel that I disgrace “true MMA fans”. I not a lot of non Brock nuthuggers that feel the same way I do and most of them are “true MMA fans”. I’m just calling a spade a spade.

I was wrong I just figured that was the case, but it still doesn’t take any of my other points away.

I can’t remember where I heard that, but ever since I did hear it I took it as truth. I guess I should find that article and beat the piss out of the author. Probably was Iole.

Most of you guy’s know who Josh barnett is? Anyway the man has made an exellent MMA career on his wresling skills and has developed othr skills along the way such a JJ and is one of the greatest of all time. Brock is a better wrestler than Barnett even though his skills aren’t as developed yet his strength, size and speed counter his little experience. The scary thing is going to be when he develops other skills such as JJ or boxing!? The man loves to compete and hates to lose a man with lots fire and to do what he has in such little time is amazing and will proabaly never be done again.

I respect Randy Couture as much as someone could, but lets not forget that this is fighting. I distinctly remember Randy Couture giving Tito Ortiz a spanking (literally) during a fight. Not everything in MMA is hugs and handshakes.

Tito is an exception though he needed a spanking, it was like saying Tito was a boy and disrespectful but Brock wins in the no class contest. He is always an A-hole. Every interview I have ever seen he is rude and confrontational.

And Frank Mir wasn’t talking nothing but shit about Brock before the fight? Insulting him and degrading him as a fighter? Riiiiiiiiiight…….

And Brock was talking smack right back Jay. All the Brock supporters keep saying “Well Mir talked bad about him before the fight and that’s just as bad”. Brock was talking just as much before the fight! Quit trying to make it out like Brock was a churchboy before the fight but got disrespected SOOOO much he just snapped. He’s always been a bit of a jerk, and his idiot side came out in full force.

Man u guys sure like to say Brock did this and that wrestling background etc. NCAA. Check the credentials of these up and comers in season 10. Straub has a record. Straub has lots of training and isn’t just some NFL’er. We have to remember its not like they have all freshies like Terrell Owens and oocho cinqo. Lol these are guys that took there humble pie and realized there not all stars but they weren’t ready to discount there talents. Welcome these Brock sized freaks to mma. Unless ur scared for Brock. Ufc=fedor

UFC 100 turned out to be a black eye for Mir and the UFC, Brock is a monster but he is just a big dumb redneck.
