Brock Lesnar Seems to Revel in the Villain Role

After defeating opponents, Tito Ortiz used to wear tee shirts that insulted them. After Brock Lesnar's UFC 100 victory over Frank Mir, we can now say that the former professional wrestling star doesn't bother with tee shirts. He simply insults people to their face, flips off the crowd, and then talks some trash to Joe Rogan.

Oh, how times have changed.

"Talk all the [bleep] you want now!" Lesnar said to a bloodied and battered Mir after defeating him, indicating that perhaps he doesn't subscribe to all of that MMA respect stuff that people talk about. In the post fight interview with Joe Rogan he went even further, citing, ""Frank Mir, he had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him that a year ago. I pulled that sumbitch out and I beat him over the head with it! Wooooooo!"

Fans booed him. Lesnar flipped them off. He just doesn't seem to care what people think of him. Whether it's bravado or not, he appears to have embraced the villain role. So get ready for some different behavior after championship fights in the heavyweight division. The champ is a villain and he's a darned good fighter. Let's face it: Whether it's a good thing or not, we haven't had a champion play the role of a villain this good in a long time, if ever.
