Mike Swick: Lesnar most hated fighter in MMA history

“Exactly, I mean look at Season 1 of The Ultimate Fighter with Chris Leben. And then look at how many guys acted like him after that, you know, I mean you know I just don’t want to send I hope it doesn’t send that message that that’s what you need to do to have ‘the it factor’ because he does have ‘the it factor,’ I mean everyone wants to see him fight again because they want to see him lose, and he’s probably the most hated fighter in MMA history. I mean he’s outdone the best of them you know especially with that fight so he definitely has the ultimate negative ‘it factor’ which works good for PPVs like you said but you know I care about the sport, I’m a fan of the sport and I got into the sport for the right reasons and it’s all about respect, about competition, it’s about challenging yourself, it’s about giving back to the fans, you know it’s about caring about your sponsors and you know it didn’t show that so obviously someone like me you know I don’t like seeing that you know it’s not the way I run my career you know.”
