I am reading blog posts, message board forums and such…about how some people feel that Brock Lesnar’s after match antics…after his heavy weight title victory…people feel that his wrestler heel tirade is going to hurt UFC ppv buyrates, will hurt Bud Light sales and will turn off fans.

You see, I totally disagree.

If everybody felt offended and hurt by Brock Lesnar’s actions after that match, I believe that you’re not a real fan of any fighting sport whether it’s wrestling, martial arts, boxing or UFC/MMA.

In boxing, there has been much worse after match antics  than Brock Lesnar ever had. I would think “Iron” Mike Tyson is the king of after match antics. Mike Tyson has always been known to talk trash at the crowd, being a jerk to his opponent and making angry facial expressions at the video camera on boxing ppv’s. Tyson biting off Holyfield’s ear, topped it all.

In profesional wrestling, wrestlers are supposed to act like that in the ring. Acting like a big ego, bad attitude type of fighter or a wrestler.

UFC has never had after match antics with fighters before after all these years of the sport been in business. Brock Lesnar was the first. Maybe this is why people are are hurt and offended, think Lesnar was unprofesional because it never happened before in UFC because people are new to the profesional wrestling thing. Maybe this is why they were shocked and surprised of Brock Lesnar’s actions.

If you’ve been a WWE follower or just a fan of wrestling, I’m sure you wouldn’t find Lesnar’s after match antics surprising. I certainly didn’t find it surprising. I actually thought it was funny and entertaining.

I just think Dana White was misunderstood with Brock’s emotions after the match and Dana never really understood the profesional wrestling thing with Brock. That’s why Dana wanted Brock to apologize even though the apology wasn’t really needed, in my opinion.

Brock’s controversial aftermatch antics will not hurt UFC, it will not hurt Bud Light or the fans at all.

In profesional boxing, I think Muhamed Ali was the inventor of the after match antics thing, he then help bring along Mike Tyson and other angry and big ego fighters to have the same angry atttitude in boxing. UFC was never like that, all fighters in UFC were down to earth, nice and profesional acting. That was the UFC company’s policy.

I feel that Lesnar’s antics will get more UFC fighters to start doing the same thing. Talking trash at the crowd, the camera man, and at Joe Rogan the after match interviewer. Once more UFC fighters start to do it a lot more, UFC will have no choice but to let it go on since they can’t do anything about it.

The way I see it, Brock’s apology for the thing is going to make Brock look like a coward, when his after match antics clearly proves how powerful and bad Brock Lesnar can really be. It’s simply a wake up call, that you don’t ever want to mess with Brock Lesnar in real life if you run into him in person.

UFC will soon become the next profesional boxing/wrestling of after match antics with the fighters if you understand my point. UFC isn’t the WWE, true. If you’re going to sign a huge guy like Brock to UFC and not expect him to be talking trash at everyone after having winning a huge match, then that makes you look bad, not Brock.

Will Brock go off like that again if he wins more matches in the future? Of course, he will! These guys can’t help it! It’s who they are! They certainly aren’t going to be a nice and positive person throughout their entire career, no way. The egos and bad attitudes of boxers, wrestlers, and UFC fighters helps makes the sport get stronger.

I thought the apology from Brock was pretty silly, not the after match antics. It makes Dana look weak. Brock won’t be the first, there will be more UFC fighters going off in a rage after winning a match up ahead! Trust me!

Acting like a tough dude after a match is what makes things exciting and it is acting profesional. Really, think about it.
