UFC 106 Preview: The Softer Side of Brock Lesnar

I would have left off the part about trying to be the best husband he can be, if I were Dan.

Looks like roy nelson a little bit in that pic but ya Lesnar is a good guy outside the cage but a week until fight time they say his mind flips a switch.

I’m not really impressed by the good ole boy, hunting and spitting image. I grew up with people like that and I don’t really see them as people to look up to.

Fact is, the only way he can live this lifestyle is by being a douchebag werestler/mma fighter.

He’s a meathead.

Lesnar isn’t really any different from most fighters.
I don’t really why there’s so much hate directed Brock Lesnar. He does his thing, he trains hard and he’s the champion. Period. So people can continue to bemoan that he’s not good for the sport, came from WWE, and disapprove of his behavior but at beat the beloved Randy Couture (who’s always had his share of problems with bigger heavyweights), Heath Herring, and the articulate, verbose, never at a lost for thoughts Frank Murrrr.

Go Lesnar! Go Carwin.

Pretty heart warming, no?

Awww shucks, sir, it is darn heart warming. As long as we forget everything else he has done or said.

Family is everything to him. He’s one of the few athletes you’ll ever met who not only speaks about trying to be the best father, but also the best husband. Then he appears to back it up. His hobbies are hunting and fishing and working his farm.

How are his hobbies backing up that he tries to be the best father and husband?
Also, I’m pretty sure there are other fighters who try to be good fathers and husbands.

Overall, nice fluff piece.

Majority of top fighters. Machida , Silva , Fedor , GSP …etc. are soft spoken quiet type. Every guy they face is there toughest challange to date. Every interview before and after is exactly the same. Just PC mouth peices. Never stray out of line say whats to be expected. Brock has blown up so quick because is is the polar opposite of that. he is a champion who speaks his mind and doesn’t care what anybody thinks. I mean seriously do we need another fighter who bows and shakes every opponents hand? There is a reason Brock is the #1 draw in MMA. He knows that which is why he continues to do it.

From Patrick Freitas on the UG:

The last time Brock was in the public eye his values were questioned, based on the idiotic comments he made immediately after the Mir win.

With Brock’s next fight on the horizon, I wouldn’t be surprised if this article was at least partially engineered by the UFC’s public relations people. Its a intelligent tactical move to play up the ‘Brock is a wholesome family man’ story at this time. Had they done it immediately after the Mir win, it would’ve appeared too clearly as p.r. spin. The timing for this piece is perfect.

And even if this article wasn’t the result of the UFC’s p.r. department, its a good story that gives a well-timed polish to Brock’s image.

Maybe Brock Lesnar is a good guy. I don’t know him, and would never judge somebody just from what I hear them say on TV. But he’s gotta cut loose of this, “I’m a simple, down-home country boy more comfortable around rural people.” Dude is ridiculously rich and spent a large amount of time in the bright lights/big money WWE. Whatever he is, a simple country boy he is no longer, if indeed he ever were to begin with.

“A second-grade daughter.” That’s harsh to rate her so just because she’s a female. She should be first-grade just like his newborn son. Geeeeez.

I personally think that all comment sections on Brock articles should be closed unless it has other parties involved besides Brock…no matter what side you are on, this endless bickering over one man and his actions is idiotic. He says edgy stuff, he’s not a good ambassador for the sport…he dosen’t have to be.

I’m personally glad Brock is making a move to try to paint himself in a lighter image after his post-fight antics at UFC 100. I think he got a bit too caught up in the excitement after beating the crap out of someone he legitimately didn’t like…but time will tell.

if anyone had bothered to click on the link, Lesnar makes several offensive remarks in it that are entirely new topics for those who don’t like Brock.

Anyone I’ve offended in the greater Baltimore Washington region gets a beer on me at the Duclaw Brewing Company bar at Arrundel Mills tonight at 6:30.* I’ll be there with some friends having a drink before seeing Zombieland.

Brock Lesnar is welcome as well, but since he doesn’t have a computer, I doubt he’d show. (Can I call him a luddite?)

• Offer valid where and when I see fit.

HAHA! :)

Maybe you could use Kramer’s bladder system?

130+ comments on a Lesnar story that hasn’t been up that long. Interesting to see how so many people have so many different opinions on the guy. I guess his persona is working pretty good for him.

I neither like him or dislike him. I think he says and does stupid things but whom among us doesn’t or hasn’t? I can see why people dislike him but I generally root for the guy now but I wouldn’t be upset if he lost.

as long as you can back it up. Mir talked trash, got his head cracked and Brock, verbally, gave him the business after the fight. If you dont walk the walk, you should expect someone to call you out on it.

a few times in already in this thread, but wanted to get my true opinion out there. I DISLIKE LESNAR! I dislike Lesnar cause he’s barely older than me, seemingly has a happy marriage to a Playboy cover girl, has a family, already has a more than a few sporting related championship of which he may or may not have deserved, is many times richer than my unemployed broke self, and he did most of this with a penis tattooed on his chest. Yes I hate him! (Just misquoting Doc Holliday here, I don’t really hate him).
