Why does Brock Lesnar feel the need to apologize for UFC 100? Over and over he's had to make a mea culpa to the media. But why? All he did was inject some life into the sport of MMA.
For years MMA stars engaged in "fake" feuds, way faker than pro wrestling. Before the fight, the words would fly faster and more furiously than Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. When the fight was over they would hug and assure the audience that they didn't really mean it and that they were really friends.
Screw that.
When Lesnar was mad at Frank Mir, he really meant it. He beat the hell out of Mir and then got in his face. Mir had disrespected him. Why should he pretend it was all good now?
Lesnar's refreshing attitude is resonating with UFC fans. UFC 100 will likely top 1.5 million buys on PPV. Lesnar will be the biggest star in UFC history by this time next year. What is he apologizing for again?

He should be apologizing for ruining the sport for many fans. Heavyweight is a joke now. REAL skill and technique is found in middleweight and below.

Brock has won an NCAA championship. To say he has no skill is simply ignorant. As a former wrestler and coach understanding the training needed to be the best has paid off for Brock.
Having dislike for your opponent is a part of the package. I believe very few will be able to beat him if he trains well

Brock has not ruined the sport, his ground work is amazing and his punches make his opponents see their lives flash before their eyes. He is fast and powerful and is a challenge for the other heavyweights to overcome. not only that but the guy went 108-5 for multiple collegiate wrestling titles.
anyway I don’t think Brock needs to apologize for talking trash, most fighters do it just to psych themselves up and put themselves in a dominant mentality, but if Brock feels he needs to apologize then I think that shows some humility, he could just continue talking trash.
