10 times things got a little awkward in the MMA world

There is no better forum for trash talking between athletes than combat sports, and MMA fighters are the leaders of the pack.

But that can lead to some awkward moments. Come to think about, the sport provides its fair share of awkward moments even when trash talking isn’t involved – just regular talking.

Here are 10 times things got more than just a little bit awkward in MMA.

THAT Brock Lesnar moment

Stick around MMA long enough, and you’ll notice that few are the things capable of eliciting “Oh no you didn’t” reactions. But luckily, every now and then people like Brock Lesnar come along bringing zero (expletives) along with them. See, when you’re a major company asset, you probably realize that you can get away with quite a few things that most of your peers probably can’t. Lesnar, who brought all of his WWE eyeballs into his octagon career, set out to prove that at UFC 100.

After getting revenge over Frank Mir and defending his belt in the historic event, Lesnar was asked a fairly harmless question: what’s next? And you know you got a good answer when “getting on top of my wife” isn’t the most remarkable part. Lesnar proceeded to inform everyone, while on top of a Bud Light logo, that he was going to drink a Coors Light, because “Bud Light won’t pay me nothing.” The move wasn’t as much a joke as it was a power move by the then-champ, who apologized for his words at UFC 100’s post-fight press conference – while sipping a Bud Light. Years later, before winning his UFC 200 battle against Mark Hunt, Lesnar clarified there were two brands of beer consumed that fateful night in 2009: One for the audience and one for his own enjoyment.
