Former UFC and WWE champion Brock Lesnar took a jibe at UFC President Dana White over the pay he received in the premier promotion.

Better known for his role in the pro-wrestling franchise WWE, Brock Lesnar was one of the most popular Mixed Martial Artists in the world. Not only did he bring in a swarm of fans for his fights, but he also captured the gold in just his third outing in the UFC to become the world heavyweight champion.

He said this during an interview with pro-wrestling color commentator Pat McAfee, “Dana’s all right, I mean. I’ve got a lot of money from him… I probably should have got paid more, maybe,” Lesnar told the podcast host.

Later, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ also talked about WWE Supremo Vince McMahon and UFC head honcho Dana White as bosses and his relationship with them.

Lesnar said, “I don’t know. I really can’t compare the two guys. Honestly, my relationship with Vince is so different than it is with Dana over the years. Vince and I have had a love-hate relationship for the last 20 years, but it’s been good. We got a lot of water under the bridge. I have a lot of respect for both men.”

Brock Lesnar states how his first MMA loss made him humble

In the same interview with Pat McAfee, Lesnar (5-3, 1NC) opened up on how he got into the UFC after ending his first contract with the WWE and the stint he had at the NFL. He also relived the time he became a champion at the UFC after beating MMA legend, Randy Couture.

However, one of the key takeaways from the interview was when he talked about his first loss to Frank Mir and revealed how that made him a humble person.

“And it was very humble you know, my first fight in the UFC against Frank because I had prepared for the kneebar so many times, and I actually probably a million times I prepared how to get out and counter what he got me in. And it was like I was in practice. Drilling in how to get out of it. So, I was like ‘Oh shit, this is happening’ yeah, that’s good I am done,” Lesnar said.

‘The Beast Incarnate’ has been a force to be reckoned with both in the octagon and in the ring. And having a win over Lesnar is not something many fighters can boast of. Every combat sport Lesnar has taken part in, he has championed it and that alone is a testament to the legend’s incredible prowess as an athlete.
