"Oh, he wasn’t going quit! Oh, no, no! I mean, I thought he could have been pounded into unconsciousness, but he wasn’t tapping. There was no way that he was going to tap and there was no way that he was going to make it easy for Carwin to knock him into unconsciousness. He was going to keep fighting and keep fighting until Carwin knocked him into unconsciousness and Carwin was going to have to blast through Brock’s defense to get him into unconsciousness.
Listen, you know, they said he doesn’t have a chin. Those people can shut the [expletive] now. They said he can’t take punishment. Those people can shut the [expletive] up now. He took the best that Carwin out and THEN HE CHOKED HIM OUT. And I’ll give Carwin, MY GOD, I mean you talk about credit, he held his own wrestling Brock. I mean, he was out striking in the first round. I mean, Carwin, MY GOD, what an animal and I look forward to seeing his next fight but not quite as much as I look forward to seeing Brock Lesnar’s next fight"
-Paul Heyman talks to Fight! Magazine after UFC 116 about his good friend Brock Lesnar's victory over Shane Carwin in the main event. (Quotes transcribed by Zach Arnold at FightOpinion.com)
Penick's Analysis: Heyman made a great extra mouthpiece for Lesnar throughout the lead in week to UFC 116 last week, getting interviewed by multiple media outlets and expressing his close friendship with Lesnar. He was out in full support along with a number of other former colleagues of Lesnar's from his time in the WWE, and he made for a very entertaining interview every time he was on screen.
