The story began when the fighter's manager revealed that Lesnar's contract with WWE is nearing the end and, if he wishes, he has complete autonomy to define his future, including returning to the UFC. After the statement, White used his social networks to increase the rumors. The director published a photo in which the fighter is wearing a UFC shirt and a emoji smiling, which could indicate a new partnership between the manager and the athlete.
Even more enigmatic, one day after the publication, Dana reinforced his desire to see the Canadian giant back in the UFC in a conversation with the website 'TMZ': “I would like to see him back in the UFC. When the Brock Lesnar winning the belt was fun. He’s fun,” he stated.
