Last night was Brock Lesnar's Crowning moment. He avenged his only loss and proved he is without a doubt the true heavy weight champion.

He did in this fight what he should of in the first. He showed what Wrestling and freakish strength can accomplish.

But we all know by know what went down during the fight. So what about after? Flipping off the fans getting in Mirs face and The Coors light plug. Was all that an act? The answer is yes. Without a doubt Lesnar is a fighter first but a close second is a entertainer.

Lets face it people, weather you pay to see him win or pay to see him lose, you pay to see him. Lesnar knows this so he throws a little act in there to sell tickets. And man is he good at it.

"I love it. I love it, keep it coming" was his response to the boos in the crowd.

"I'm going to be drinking Coors light. That's right Coors because Bud Light wont pay me anything."

"Hell maybe even later, I'll get on top of my wife."

Those were his responses to joe rogan asking whats next.

The man is a character and a hell of a competitor.

If you go to WWW.UFC.COM  you will see a post fight interview with Lesnar and he is nothing but humble.

"Frank Mir came prepared."

"It was an honor to be here at UFC 100."

"Good people pay there hard earned money to see a fight so I just throw a little salt and pepper to make it better"

Those were some words from the true side of Lesnar in a interview.

In the post fight press conference he verbally apologised for his actions. i guess dana white had a sit down with him

"I am truly sorry for the way I acted. It was an embarrassment"

"I'm not to picky with beer, people, I'll drink anything. Tonight im going to be drinking bud light," as he has a bud light bottle in front of him"

"Frank Mir is a great fighter. The only thing i truly had against him was he beat me"

"I'm a sore loser, so when I won tonight I just let my emotions get the better of me"

"I came from a entertainment business. People want to know what I could bring from the WWE—well you just saw it"

"I just want to be a great fighter first and a great entertainer."

Humble words from a great man. A true champion and class act. Remember people its all a show. Lesnar is a quiet guy who keeps to himself and just wants to sell tickets for the UFC.

However, dont expect the same celebration in his next fight. Dana White will see to that.
