The Secret Conversation That Got Brock Lesnar To Do TUF

Yes! You read that headline correctly, I have uncovered the transcript of the phone conversation in which Dana White convinces Brock Lesnar to be a coach opposite of JDS on the new season of "The Ultimate Fighter". Without further ado:

Ring ring

Brock Lesnar: Brock Lesnar here. Go.

Dana White: Hey Champ! It's Dana. (silence) Dana White?!?! (silence) President of the UFC? Your boss?!? (silence) Stalky, bald, white guy that is always grumpy and is always trying to get you to do things you don't want to?

BL: Oh...Hey Dana. What do you want?

DW: Nothing really. Just checking in. Saw your new kickass beard. Looks good. (silence). So, I haven't spoken to you in a few months and just wanted to see what you've been up to.

BL: Killing animals, trying to avoid other humans, writing a book about me, thinking about accepting a ton of cash from Vince McMahon to appear at this year's Wrestlemania. Fun fact, that's why the Undertaker was at my last fight to try and hype this thing. So basically, same old, same old.

DW: I see. You seem very busy, but let me run something by you. One of our competitors... well I won't say "competitor", no one is our competitor... is holding this Heavyweight tournament over the next few months. I will never admit it publicly, but the tournament seems kickass and is probably going to steal a lot of attention away from what we are doing over the next few months and you know I can't have that. So, my tiny friend Joe Silva and I were thinking that maybe you would want to be a coach on the new season of "The Ultimate Fighter" to help us out? Kind of take some of the wind out of Scotty Cokeface's sails.

BL: How much does it pay and can I do it from my place in Minnesota?

DW: Pay is pretty good, tons of exposure but you would have to come to Vegas for six weeks for the show's filming.

BL: I think I am going to pass and do Wrestlemania instead. I would only have to be away from home for a few days and it probably pays better. And its not like Mr. King of the PPV needs the exposure.

DW: Here's the thing with Wrestlemania, you can't do it.

BL: (angry) Are you telling me what I can and cannot do? I know where you live! I have met your wife and many girlfriends!

DW: No, no, no. That's not it. I AM not telling YOU what YOU can and cannot do it. It is our lawyers and our contract with you that says you can't do it. In reality, you should be upset with your agent and lawyer for allowing this exclusivity clause.

BL: Those sonofabitches!

DW: I know, Champ. I completely understand. But, since you can't do Wrestlemania, you might as well be a coach on the new season of "The Ultimate Fighter". I tell you what, I will match what Vince McMahon was going to pay you for Wrestlemania.

BL: Alright, I'll do it.

DW: Fantastic! How much was Vince going to pay you by the way?

BL: Twenty million dollars

DW: (mumbling) Twenty million! *******uc---

BL: Who is going to be the other coach by the way? That :taco: Frank Mir? I would love to pound him again.

DW: Junior dos Santos. And after the taping is over, you will fight him sometime around June in possibly Vancouver.

BL: No.

DW: No what?

BL: I am not fighting dos Santos.

DW: Wait! Why?

BL: Were you not there when I fought Velasquez? I am pretty sure dos Santos punches much harder than him and that does not bode well for me since I have issues getting hit in the face. Was Mir not available or something? How about that bowling ball Roy Nelson?

DW: Mir and Nelson are already fighting each other. Besides, dos Santos isn't a wrestler like Cain so you should be able to take him down and keep him there. Just don't get punched in the face in the process and you will be fine.

(long period of silence)

BL: Alright. I will do it. But if my face gets messed up again, I am coming after you and I will get on top of you like I do my wife. And let me tell you, you don't want that. She doesn't even want that (click).

(Dial tone)

DW: Brock? Brock? You there? I guess he hung up. He seemed pretty pissed. Good thing I didn't tell him he would have to fight Cain again if he beats JDS. I am sure his manager will tell him.
 
UFC 126 Silva vs. Belfort is Saturday night!

This looks like an amazing card!

Silva vs. Belfort is gonna either be fight of the year candidate! For either the best fight or the worst fight. I hope it's good and wanna see Silva get KTFO'd. I don't think it will happen cuz he's one bad ass mofo but I can hope right. :nice:


Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin should be a great fight. Both guys are there to bring it. I don't think it matters to me who wins this fight as long as the beat the hell out of each other. :D

Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader I don't know if Bader can beat Jones but I'd like to see him do it. He's looked good in his last couple of fights and this should be a good test for both kids to see where they stand.

Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos. I like watching Miguel. Should be a good fight but I don't think Miguel will have many problems with him.

Donald Cerrone vs. Paul Kelly. The cowboy is gonna kick some ass :D


Anyone else have any thoughts and predictions?
 
You might be able to catch it on Youtube, but you'd probably have to catch it quick before they start deleting them.

Don't know about anywhere else, although you might find a torrent of it out there somewhere later.
 
Big bunch of disappointment tonight if you ask me. Forrest and Rich both looked tired as hell and both could've and should've done more, and the title fight was cut way too short.
