Now, though, not only does White have to deal with his biggest star leaving the business, he also has to deal with many questions regarding his future and whether or not Brock will pop up in WWE sometime in the future. In fact, he was asked just that last night at the post-fight press conference and a surly White gave this answer:
Dana White said:
"When you retire, he retires under contract. I have no idea (how long the contract is). Listen, I've had my moments with Brock Lesnar but I've had a great relationship with him and we'll figure it out, no big deal. Never had a situation with a guy where we haven't done the right thing."
Essentially, Lesnar is still under contract with UFC but White definitely sounds open to the idea of letting him move on to other endeavors.
Including getting a big payday with WWE somewhere down the road.
White has always said he's got a good relationship with pro wrestling czar Vince McMahon, who recently inked Lesnar to a "Legend's Contract,"
which entails basically everything except getting in the ring for a match.
But that can certainly be amended and if Lesnar pushes White to let him go get paid in one last match with WWE,
it sounds like White will back off and let it happen.
Whether or not Lesnar heads back to WWE, his time fighting inside the Octagon is over.
That's enough for White to deal with at the moment without worrying about all that pro wrasslin' jazz.
