Cormier on being surprised by Brock's mic skills

[héad.casé]

"I am in the ring, as Stipe Miocic's song starts I look across the octagon and Brock Lesnar is staring at me smiling. I am thinking to myself, okay, obviously Brock is here for a fight. Let me take care of this and I will come to you afterward.

"I win the fight, I go, 'Brock, you obviously wanted it. Get your a** in here if you wanted it.' Now, I didn't know he was going to push me. If I knew he was going to push me I would have dug my heels. I didn't like the visual of him pushing me and me flying back like that. It is not the best visual for a guy like me. I don't want to seem like he can just toss me around."

"Right after that, we kept going back and forth. Brock did a promo on me calling me a piece of s**t. I don't know why they haven't had Brock talking in years because he is good at it. It is special when he does so maybe that is why it resonated so well. Then he left, but I mean I would have dug my heels first off, and secondly, I would have pushed him back. But honestly, I was in there thinking, holy s**t, I am having a WrestleMania moment. I am having a WrestleMania moment right now with Brock Lesnar. It is the greatest, craziest thing and was thinking about how amazing it was. Even at that moment, I was like, this is crazy."

"It was crazy in the ring, but when I got to the back I was like, holy smokes, we are going to make a s**t ton of money because look, Brock Lesnar is a special attraction. That is why when he shows up, he wasn't at UFC just to watch a fight. He doesn't go to a UFC and watch a fight. He barely watches WWE and he works there you know what I am saying? I knew he was coming for something so I was like this dude wanted something and I am going to give it to him"

"Me getting to fight Brock Lesnar - because I remember my partner, Cain Velasquez fighting him in 2010. Brock walked into the arena and that place was electric. I mean, Anaheim was insane. I had never felt energy like that and I was at UFC 200, we fought on the same card so it was electric that night as well. So, just to be standing opposite of him in an octagon is going to be insane, but once that bell rings and they yell fight, I am going to kill him. He is going to be completely in over his head."

Quit breaking kayfabe, ya mark!

And people rag on wrestling for being a work.

And this is why it's hilarious that MMA fans look down on Pro-wrestling fans. The two are just extensions of one another.

Worked yourself into a shoot, brother!

"I didn't know this stunt was gonna be a stunt!"

C'mon DC. It was fun, but to act like all of that wasn't planned as hell?

PISS!

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Two things: One, I love that the bar for stick men in the UFC is so low that Brock's considered a "good talker" there. Two, I love that Cormier treats "Hell, he works there, and he barely even gives a shit about the product" in terms of either WWE or UFC as a good thing.

Yep, you're saying what we already knew. He shows up for the paycheque. If you want Brock to go somewhere, don't leave a trail of food, leave a trail of banknotes.

Brock can be an entertaining talker but only when he's speaking from the heart, and not reading shitty WWE scripts.
