Lesner returning to UFC?

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Brock Lesnar Rumored to Be Returning to UFC For a Fight

According to the @TalkMMA Twitter account, WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman were at UFC Headquarters to meet with UFC officials during International Fight Week earlier this month.

The Twitter account added, which at this point should be taken strictly as a rumor, that Lesnar is expected to return to The Octagon “imminently”, likely at the November 4th event at Madison Square Garden. The report claims Lesnar will drop the WWE Universal Title at WWE SummerSlam next month, and that he is back in the testing pool with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

As noted, Brock Lesnar, who is 5-3-1 in his MMA career, was suspended from fighting for one year following his positive anti-doping tests issued for his fight against Mark Hunt at UFC 200. Lesnar’s win over Hunt was subsequently overturned following his drug test failures, but Lesnar’s suspension is now over, and he is free to fight again. It was reported back in July 2016 that Lesnar was simultaneously under contract with UFC and WWE, and was eyeing another fight sometime in late 2016 or 2017, however this news came before Lesnar’s drug test failures were announced.


It should be noted that according to UFC rules, a fighter must inform the promotion at least four months in advance if he plans to come out of retirement, so the fighter can be reinserted into the USADA drug testing pool.

I disagree, I don't like Lesnar in the WWE at all due to his in-activeness. I hope this is true and I hope it is the last we see of Lesnar for a bit, I'm sick and tired of him coming back after months and then get a title shot.

you're entitled to your opinion, I really don't care if Brock gets to come and go as he please. At least it's only him doing this and not like 4, 5, 8 guys. Besides, the guy is great at what he does at WWE and it makes every time he appears SPECIAL. You can believe it, that I sure in the hell wouldn't want to see Brock just week after week after week after week, pummeling and running through superstars. He deserves to be able to move to the beat of his own drum.

Id be down to see Brock in UFC again. Although, his matches are always the most entertaining in WWE when he's on the card. People bitch about his move set...smh. The energy that Brock brings in the arena alone is so powerful. He's the only wrestler that keeps me on the edge of my seat when I watch him.

That's what I'm saying, he's a true spectacle. HELL, BROCK LESNAR IS AN EVENT, plain and simple.

 

[Solid Snake]

I thought he unofficially retired from UFC...

I'm only behind Lesnar when he's not Champion. His buildup with Orton, Taker, and Goldberg were amazing, but when he's the Champion it just seems like wasted potential. Instead of having two badass rivalries being built (Lesnar and Title match), you have one, and while in theory it would become a super rivalry, in reality it's just extremely annoying

Overall, I wouldn't mind him going to UFC AFTER he drops the title, preferably at SummerSlam to somebody like Strowman

The point I'm trying to get at is seeing Lesnar hold that top title is just a waste of different story-lines. No one wants to see Lesnar hold a title and rarely defend it to then only lose it where he's not the one that has to get pinned. It's repetitive and boring, I get the idea that he is a beast and nearly indestructible but they should book him how they've been booking Braun since the beginning of his solo run.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Lesner being champion and losing the belt gives the new champion a huge amount of credibility though. That's the point of having him as Champion.

I agree with that, but with the looks of things for SummerSlam he won't be the one that gets pinned, which defies the purpose of credibility by defeating Brock

 

[seabs]

Wouldn't be surprised if he fought Stipe for the title, Brocky two belts could be an interesting twist.

Huh? Who?? U mean Styles????

 

[Nikki Nitro]

I've never watched UFC With Brock Lesner. He's an interesting guy in the wwe. I hated him when he broke the Undertaker's streak though.

 

[Brother Loathe]

If you think about it, I guess this is Brock's equivalent of leaving the company to slightly revitalise his appeal much like Drew Galloway and some others did too. Not only does it do that but it pushes WWE into panic mode in regards to either booking Brock better when he comes back or reinforcing the RAW main event scene, at least. I think it would be better overall that he did leave even for this one match to gain a bit of momentum rather than just doing the same match; when he decides to do them at least,

However, I have always thought the idea of "coming out of retirement" as a bit ridiculous.
