10 Biggest Heat Generators In UFC History

10. Brock Lesnar

The heat with Brock Lesnar comes from a couple of things. For one, he was given a title shot in only his third UFC fight, leading many fans to believe he was given preferential treatment by Dana White.

Second came from his post fight interview after his victory over Frank Mir at UFC 100. Lesnar went off on Mir following his second round TKO victory claiming, “Mir had a horseshoe up his ass, and I pulled the son of a b*tch out and hit him over the head with it!” After this, Lesnar even took aim at his sponsor Bud Lite: “I’m going to go home and drink a Coors Light because Bud Lite won’t pay me nothing.” To this day, the post fight speech is remembered as one of the best ever, perhaps for the wrong reasons.

Follow all of this up with a positive test for steroids after his return win at UFC 200, his shoving of Daniel Cormier at UFC 225, and his proclamation at that same event that the Heavyweight division was a disaster filled with pieces of s**t, and you have yourself some heat.

Of course, part of this could simply be that he looks like Goliath and everyone wants to cheer for David.
