After defeating Frank Mir at last night's UFC 100 card, Brock Lesnar opened his press conference by apologizing for his post-fight antics that seemed like a scene out of a WWE event.

"I've been in the entertainment business for a while and I guess there's a little bit still in me," Lesnar said. "You guys ask me all the time, 'Is there anything I can drag over from WWE?' I guess you've seen a little bit of it tonight."

Lesnar then apologized to Bud Light, which he ripped in his post-fight promo for not paying him enough money. (Bud Light was an official sponsor of UFC 100.)

Lesnar also said UFC president Dana White pulled him aside after the fight and shared a few harsh words on behaving like a professional, not a complete fool.

"Man, I was so jacked up. I'm used to selling PPV tickets. I come from a business that is purely entertainment," Lesnar said. "Dana came back and we had a 'whip the dog' session and I screwed up and I apologized."

Lesnar seemed sincere as he talked about wanting to be a fighter and wanting to be considered a legit fighter. He said he had nothing against Mir, who talked a lot of crap about wrestling and Lesnar pre-fight, other than he beat him the first time they fought at UFC 81.
