The former champion Brock Lesnar announced his retirement from MMA after losing to alistair overeem at UFC 141, in December 2011. After a short vacation, the giant returned to WWE – the United States Pro-Wrestling League – and made some appearances on the show. But this weekend the possibility of Brock returning to the UFC emerged.
BUT: Bonnar on Lesnar in WWE: “Now he knows what it’s like to really fight”
The organization's president, Dana White, revealed that Lesnar asked to schedule a meeting with the director during UFC 146,
"He texted me and said, 'What are you doing tonight?' I said, 'I'm going to hold a press conference.' He replied, 'I want to talk face to face.' I said OK, let's talk later. You never know with him if he wants to come back or just enjoy it,” White said during the press conference. Dana did not prefer not to create expectations, but said that Lesnar is a big star in both WWE and UFC.
“He’s a huge star in WWE and UFC. I don't know, let's talk. He’s back in WWE and he’s a star there, but people know it’s not an act here, it’s not fake, it’s real.”
