The heavyweight title fight between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin at UFC 106 is a little less than two months away now, and we all know what that means: it’s time for Lesnar to rev up his dismissive trash-talk machine, which is what he affectionately calls his brain. Talking to the Las Vegas Sun, Lesnar advanced the theory that since the only high-profile fighter Carwin has beaten was Gabriel Gonzaga, he’s really only 1-0 in his MMA career, I mean if you think about it, so there’s really nothing to worry about against him. Then, as if that weren’t dickish enough, he went and said this about old Hulk Hands:
“He’s a tough guy and a wrestler. But he’s a Division II national champion — enough said.”
Well, looks like Lesnar just exposed himself as a Division-ist. Look, he’s not saying those Division II champs are all bad. Some of his best friends are Division II wrestlers. He’s just saying that there are certain things they don’t get to do, like be the UFC heavyweight champ or ride in the front of the bus.
As similar as Lesnar and Carwin might seem physically, to media run-up to this fight is probably going to illuminate a vast difference of philosophy and personality between the two. While Carwin says Lesnar’s antics and attitude are bad for the sport, Lesnar insists that it doesn’t matter how negative the press he’s getting is, as long people are paying attention. While Carwin’s always talking about what a great support system his wife provides, Lesnar just talks about how he might get on top of his wife to celebrate a victory.
See where we’re going with this? It’s a classic good guy/bad guy match-up, so expect the UFC to play that up big time when they start promoting this one. If Carwin ends up coming down to the Octagon in a white cowboy hat, riding a unicorn, while Lesnar wears a black hat and tortures a puppy during his introduction, just remember who saw it coming.
