[...] little over a week ago Mike Swick stated that Brock Lesnar was probably most hated man in MMA. In the past two days that title may have [...]

Thanks for typing this up Zach. I have to agree with Swick, and Mr. Roadblock is a goddamned moron. That is all.

There’s no doubt about it. Intentional or not, Brock has a done a great job getting attention. Yes, he’s perceived as an ass. But fans need to give the guy credit & respect. He beat established veterans to get to the top and all within the rules. Like in real life or business, you can’t get to the top without hurting anyone else’s feelings or trampling over someone.

Sure, Lesnar got a title shot pretty quickly. But he took that opportunity and capitalized on it. We all know that sometimes you’re only given one chance to succeed. And Lesnar took the ball and scored a major touchdown.

I still hate Tito more. Once Brock starts ducking contenders, I’ll reassess the situation.

Lesnar is in MMA because he likes to compete and wants to be the best at what he does. That’s a pretty good reason. But maybe not the right one?

It’s not as though he got into MMA solely for the money. He had money and a high paying job available to him, and likes to live where property values are low.

I’m sick of hearing this BS line by fighters, “I got into this sport for the right reason.”

What’s the right reason? That you’re not a good enough athlete to play the big money sports?

I love MMA. I really appreciate the guys who fight for our entertainment. But let’s give all this pride and honor stuff a rest. Mike Swick would be installing after market car stereos or something unexciting like that if it weren’t for MMA. This right reason stuff is ridiculous. Most people get into MMA to get free stuff and pussy.

#6. i agree that they are jealous of brock’s success and I MYSELF think that brock being labled the most hated man in mma history from 1 incident is going way overboard and these same people are going to be in for quite the surprise when, in his next fight, he wins and acts humble afterwards like he did in the randy fight, and gets cheered widly, like he did in the herring fight, or they will most likely just try and act like they never said it to begin with. fighters like tito, the diaz bros, gilbert yvel, and most recently hendo, babalu and soku have done things much more heinous than what brock did and while catching some flak, never where given this label. what a joke! brown and swick really surprise me with these remarks. jealousy and envy can be really ugly.

I think that Swick is just saying… and others are saying… that Lesnar seems to be an asshole. Perhaps people sense that he’s an asshole and they’re somewhat jealous of his status as top dog in the UFC.

There’s really not much more to this than that, imo.

Please edit the “you know’s” out of this so I can read it. Good lord I stopped reading halfway through his first answer because I couldn’t understand. You know?
