Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar once gave an epic reply to the UFC color commentator Joe Rogan after his big win against rival Frank Mir in 2009.

Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar were one of the most vicious rivals during their time in the UFC. Mir defeated Lesnar on his UFC debut in 2008. This loss left a foul mark on Lesnar’s career and gave his naysayers a reason to doubt him.

Therefore, Lesnar was looking to avenge this loss. Finally, he got a chance at UFC 100 in 2009. Mir and ‘The Beast’ fought for the heavyweight title in the main event of the pay-per-view.

‘The Beast’ got his redemption and expressed his happiness inside the octagon interview with Joe Rogan.

“So there I am, in the Octagon, pumped full of adrenaline from the fight, crowd screaming, lights and cameras in my face, Frank in the corner with his face all messed up. And Joe Rogan sticks a microphone in front of me and asks, “Hey, Brock, how does it feel?” Lesnar wrote in his book. 

“How does it feel? I’ve been waiting for seventeen months to punch this over hyped a**hole Frank Mir in the face, use my wrestling skills to control his body, manhandle him like a b*tch…” Lesnar added.

“I also threw in, ‘I might even get on top of my wife tonight.’ Hey, Joe Rogan asked me how it feels. Well, Joe, that’s how it feels,” Lesnar concluded.
