To this day, almost two years after his retirement, Brock Lesnar is still synonymous with success in the UFC. The giant, 1,91m tall and who needed to lose weight to reach 120kg in the heavyweight category, was one of the main names in the organization and one of the biggest sellers of pay-per-view of the event. Always associated with a possible return, Lesnar denied that he will return to MMA, but confirmed that it is an idea that is constantly with him.
“I miss (MMA), but I have to keep myself under control. What I went through in the last few years was quite traumatic, I wasn't able to fight as I wanted. I returned to activities very soon. This chapter in my life has come to a close, and I feel comfortable with that. I never sat down and pondered what I could have done differently or how things could have been, but I wasn't the same guy. Now I feel great. There are days when I think about returning to the octagon and everything being the same as before, but I'm in another chapter”, he said, in an interview with the “LA Times”.
Brock Edward Lesnar, currently 36 years old, has a record of five wins and three losses and a career spent almost entirely in the UFC – seven of his eight fights as a professional in the main MMA organization on the planet. Heavyweight champion between 2008 and 2010, Lesnar retired due to a series of injuries and, mainly, the worsening of diverticulitis. Nowadays, the North American fights in WWE, the pro wrestling (mixture of performing and martial arts, like the old telecatch).
