UFC 100: Frank Mir Versus Hellboy
The Sporting Blog —
... There's been the requisite trash talk this week, something Lesnar brought with him from the WWE. Lesnar even went so far as to claim Mir grew up "a nerd" this week, a move that now has me imagining some formative moment when Lesnar, staring at a giant red F on a math quiz, looked up at a kid in glasses beaming in the front row with an A+ on his paper.

UFC 100: Can Brock Lesnar Handle the Media Heat?
Bloody Elbow —
... it down:
Brock Lesnar is one of kind in the mixed martial arts world. While 99-percent of the fighters are easily accessible and an open book, Lesnar is a little closer to what we're used to when covering major sports like the NFL, NBA and MLB.

Yahoo! Sports Dan Wetzel pounded away at Lesnar with a "who does this guy think he is" approach:
