Brock Lesnar: “Is Frank really hurt or is he just scared?”

“In my mind, is Frank really hurt or is he just scared? Because I think he understands the position I had him in the first fight, and I don’t think it’s going to change much in the second one, with a different outcome for sure”

I don’t know if he’s just ultra confident, doing a pro-wrasslin’ type bit as a side effect of being in the WWE for a long period of time, but it’s a bit out of line to for Brock Lesnar to question the character of Frank Mir. I respect Lesnar a lot for what he’s accomplished so quickly in the sport, but it’s quite disrespectful to imply your opponent, who is a former champion, and who defeated you once, is running scared and dodging you.

Maybe it’s just pre-fight talk, maybe Lesnar sniffs out fear that others perhaps cannot, or maybe Lesnar is so confident in himself that he believes that everyone is terrified to fight him. He even mentions in this interview that he was able to detect trepidation in Randy Couture’s eyes in press conferences prior when the two fighters fought.

In the end though Lesnar is the champ and he has backed up his talk–in just 3 fights in the UFC, 4 in MMA, he has won the heavyweight title. Until somebody knocks him off that pedestal and snags the belt from his waist, I guess he can say whatever he wants.
