It was reported yesterday that UFC President Dana White has confirmed that WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is returning to the UFC.. at some point.
The topic of Brock Lesnar’s return to the UFC was discussed in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and Dave Meltzer says that after a few fights in the UFC that, “I can’t imagine he won’t be back, because he will be back.”
Lesnar’s WWE contract is said to expire sometime shortly after WrestleMania 34, however there is a clause in place that would allow WWE to keep Lesnar around until August if they chose to do so. If Lesnar does leave and return to the UFC, he would still have to serve the remaining 5 months of his suspension before he would be allowed to fight inside the octagon.
Again, Lesnar’s flirtation with the UFC could once again be a bargaining chip in his negotiations with WWE. It is no secret that Lesnar wants to do both the UFC and WWE, similar to the arrangement that allowed him to fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200.
We will keep you updated if more information regarding Brock Lesnar’s status with WWE and/or the UFC becomes available.
