Newly minted UFC undisputed Heavyweight Champion and former WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar ushered in his win at UFC 100 with a 'memorable' post-fight interview. Along with bashing his opponent Frank Mir, giving the middle finger to the crowd and acknowledging that he planned on having sex with his wife, he also bashed one of UFC's main sponsors.
Bud Light who had a prominent logo at the centre of the octagon were on the receiving end of a major dis by Lesnar. Lesnar stated he was going to celebrate his win with a Coors Light (Bud Light's biggest competitor) because according to him "Bud Light won't pay me nothing."
At the press conference, Lesnar backpedalled on his comments and even drank a Bud Light as mea culpa. Obviously Dana White got to Lesnar and explained to him that sponsors, such as the one he trashed are the ones that contribute to paying his contract, and his purse fees...so in essence they are paying.
