Going into his big rematch with Frank Mir at UFC 100 with the undisputed Heavyweight title on the line, Brock Lesnar had a major chip on his shoulder stemming from their first meeting, when Mir submitted him in the first round with a kneebar. According to Brock, “Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass”, whatever that might mean.
Lesnar made good on his promise to avenge his loss, destroying Mir with a series of caveman punches in the second round to pick up a TKO victory. But it was after the fight that Lesnar really opened people’s eyes. He spat out his mouthpiece and began to rant at Mir, the crowd, and basically anyone who would listen.
When Joe Rogan interviewed him after the fight he said he’d “pulled out the horseshoe and beaten Mir over the head with it” and then went on to take a shot at the UFC’s latest big sponsor Budweiser, before stating that he was going to go home and “get on top of his wife”. It was the ultimate disrespectful rant – to the UFC and to Mir – and only helped to build the outlaw, badass image that Lesnar cultivated to become one of the biggest stars in UFC history.
