Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar always seems to be in the MMA headlines despite not competing in the sport since 2016. So, does that mean Lesnar, the current WWEUniversal champion, could be returning to the Octagon once again?
“Anything is possible,” UFC president Dana White said while discussing Lesnar during this week’s episode of UFC Tonight. “Brock has always shown interest in coming over and fighting here in the UFC. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gave it one more shot.”
Lesnar faced off against Mark Hunt back in 2016 at UFC 200, returning after a five-year hiatus from MMA. He initially earned a win that night via decision in Las Vegas, but the result was overturned to a no-contest after Lesnar failed a drug test and was suspended for one year.
During his UFC career, Lesnar headlined three pay-per-view cards that surpassed one million buys and was the co-main event in another. That included 1.6 million buys in 2009 when he defeated Frank Mir at UFC 100.
