LT: Let me ask you: what did Shane say about Brock after the fight? Was there anything noteworthy? Obviously, he's a tough guy. Shane Carwin brought the thunder that first round, but credit to Brock, my god, that guy hung around. Did Shane have any impression of Brock after the fight that maybe caught your attention in what he said?

BS: You know what, the one thing I took away from that fight, ‘cause, you know, I can't stand their camp and what they stand for, man. You know, with Tuchscherer, [Jon] Madsen, him, their whole camp - not a fan. And, you know, there's a genuine hatred towards them, from me towards them before my fight and before Shane's fight. And after the fight, you know, speaking to their coaches, shaking their coaches' hands, and Brock came up to Shane and was just like, "Man, you're a hell of a fighter and you really put it on me. I got nothing but respect for you." And Shane said he was a good guy after the fight, so it kind of changed my perspective on Brock Lesnar. Although, you gotta have a bad guy. Everyone hates the bad guy and he kinda plays that role, but at the end of the day, man, you know, he's just another fighter like the rest of us. So, I kinda gained a little more respect for him after that.

LT: I'm just curious - your source of discontent with their camp, is it just because they're all individualistic? What is it?

BS: Uh...

LT: Is it a personal thing?

BS: Uh, maybe a little. You know, I just... You know, what do they do, man? It's all meatheads, right? So, you got all stud wrestlers. You know what they are is a modern-day Hammer House. You know what I'm saying? Like, they get together, it's all these big dinosaurs pushing and wrestling each other around, and heaven forbid they should bring in a striker or bring in a guy to teach them to evolve their game. You know, they're really not evolving. You can say Brock's evolved with his jiu-jitsu because he submitted Carwin with a head-and-arm choke. It's not like he armbarred the guy or did an ankle lock or something. They're just not evolving, man, and I think the sport of mixed martial arts is more like guys like Georges St-Pierre, guys like Nate Marquardt or myself, who are well-rounded, they can do everything. When I'm in camp, I'm constantly training, trying to improve my game and get better at all aspects. Can't say the same for those guys. You know, they go in there and they wrestle. And, you know, he's doing well with it, but I think the sport needs to continue to grow, and I don't think they help the sport grow.
