His numbers as a draw are not in question in my estimation. In fact, I believe his numbers would increase if he returned.
A return to MMA would benefit the UFC and if Lesnar retired again he could always return to WWE and be given a similar contract as before.
WWE has zero competiiton. It's all about making money and looking impressive doing so.
Where we differ slightly is our perception of the heavyweight division. I'm not super-impressed.
However, being that he is Brock Lesnar, it is foolish to rank him any lower than #5 regardless of his physical condition.
If Lesnar lost a significant number of times that would be a good reason to drop him.
At the end of the day, he is Brock Lesnar and that has to be respected.
Do I believe he is elite in the octagon after three plus years away and four years older? No. Proving me wrong isn't impossible though
