Lesnar showed absolutely no sportsmanship in the mauling he perpetrated on Mir; Mir was down, bloody and unconscious fairly early in the second round, but that didn’t stop Lesnar from unleashing a barrage of additional, unnecessary and nearly-mutilating blows to the face on his fallen and helpless opponent. Lesnar is to blame for doing it, but even more to blame are the referees who allowed it.

Following his vicious victory, Lesnar flipped off the crowd with both hands, complained about Bud Light not offering him any personal endorsement money, and crassly bragged about “getting on top of” his wife later than night. He did every bad thing one could possibly do to give UFC a black eye, save for downing a bunch of phentermine diet pills in front of fight commission officials. So there’s that. It was a display completely lacking not only in sportsmanship, but in humanity or any recognizable level of manners. Lesnar’s antics made Mike Tyson’s ear-biting incident look like a choir-boy prank.

It also didn’t help that in an earlier fight, another UFC fighter named Henderson took a cheap-shot swing at a clearly knocked-out opponent and then went on to brag that such brutality was necessary to “shut him up.” Whatever. Last I checked, unconscious men don’t talk.

To make matters worse, after the UFC owner read Lesnar the riot act following the crass display, when Lesnar apologized at a press conference, rather than taking responsibility for his own vulgarity, Lesnar blamed his deviltry on his WWE background.

Sorry, Brock, that doesn’t wash; the WWE may be over the top, but people know it’s a drama for adults where real injuries occur only when mistakes happen. The rest is show-biz storytelling. You were in WWE for only about a year; you’ve been Brock Lesnar all your life.

Be a man, Brock, and admit that it’s your own fault you’re a jerk.
