Just days ahead of his WWE Universal Championship defense against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35 this Sunday, a new report has surfaced suggesting Brock Lesnar could be heading back to UFC very soon.
ESPN’s Ariel Helwani revealed the current situation with Lesnar and UFC:
“The UFC wants him back. As of right now, he wants to be back. They’re giving him a heavyweight title fight if he comes back. Daniel Cormier, the heavyweight champion, wants to fight him. Right now the plan is for him (Lesnar) to fight in August, later on this summer, for that heavyweight championship. So it’s not signed just yet, but that currently is the plan.”
As mentioned, current UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier wants to fight Brock Lesnar, even going as far as threatening to show up at WrestleMania and cost the ‘Beast’ his match against Rollins.
A match between the two was very much set to happen at some stage last year, but never came to fruition, as Lesnar ended up re-signing with WWE instead.
