Key excerpt:
Paul
Heyman is standing behind Brock Lesnar as he takes on the UFC full force. Paul was one of the people that got
Brock into the WWE in the beginning of his
career. Now he’s going from
acting out fights to the real deal.
The Sun sat down with their own SunSport columnist Paul Heyman and talked about the 31 year old
heavyweight fighter, who already seems to be causing quite the uproar. Last
Saturday Brock took his first fight against the Texas Crazy Horse at the
Minneapolis Target Center and
showed that he may still have some of his WWE ways about
him.
Clearly
trying to get to his opponent and his team, Lesnar mocked them when they were in
their corner by pretending to have a lasso and yelled “I fell off the horse
against Frank Mir, and I got back on the stallion tonight and rode off on
it.”
Lesnar
made some lame excuse for his smack talk by saying “That’s just me, I was
excited. That was for Heath’s camp because on the way out to the Octagon there
were some things said before the fight. But I had the last laugh and the last
thing to say - and that is all that matters to me.”
We’re not
sure this ring is the right ring for Brock. Here’s what
Heyman had to say:
“That’s the real
Brock Lesnar coming out. That’s Lesnar through and through. He thrives in an
environment of trash talking, in your face competition. He wants you to know
that he’s better than you - and by the way, ‘you
suck’!”

The Sun for the rest of the
interview. Do you think Lesnar will
last in the Ultimate Fight Champion
or is he trying to make it a circus?
