Pro Wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar talked about his career on working with President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White and WWE chairman Vince McMahon in an interview on the Pat Mcafee show. Lesnar talked bout how one can’t compare both these guys and has a different relationship with both of them.
“I really can’t compare the two guys,” Lesnar said. “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 have a lot of water under the bridge. I have a lot of respect for both.
“But dealing with Dana, it’s just a totally different business approach. I met Vince when I was younger. I look at Vince more as a father figure actually. Because I’ve learned a lot of things from him, and I was able to carry those things over and handle business with Dana. Vince is a self-made person, so is Dana. took the company and made it public.”
The former World Champion also talked about his first loss in UFC which made him unhappy and disgruntled. He said, “I was so mad at myself, it just built another thing that the people ram down your throat and say you can’t do something. Love those people. Love them. I get goosebumps for that.”
He also expressed how he should have gotten more money during his time in the UFC. He said, “Dana’s all right,” “I’ve got a lot of money from him. I probably should have got paid more, maybe.”
Lesnar also discussed the changes he would want Dana White to consider for the UFC. “I don’t watch a lot of fighting anymore just because there are so many guys,” Lesnar said.
“It’s hard to follow. I wish Dana could figure out how to book things differently, and come on and let’s start getting behind some of these guys, and maybe protect somebody for a while so they can become a household name. you can cha-ching them. But he’s in the business of putting on super fights every week, and it’s tough to do and it’s tough to stay on top, added the 44-year-old.
