UFC President Dana White gave his take on the rumored Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match at WrestleMania XXVII to reporters last week.
“He can’t leave the UFC, he’s under contract,” White said.
A reporter asked, “He can’t fake fight for the WWE?”
“No,” White stated.
A reporter then queried, “What about a special appearance?”
“Row 3, Seat 16, Aisle 2 sounds good to me,” White joked.

I SHOULD be obvious. But Wrestling fans don't seem to understand that 1. Dana doesn't believe in cross promotion, and 2. Brock is under freaking contract. This isn't one of those things where "Brock could come in as the secret so and so, and be at Wrestlemania." He won't because he can't, and it never was going to happen. End of story.

I didn't think much of it. It's not likely to happen. Don't get your hopes up if it doesn't.

yea, fake fighting gave him a serious concussion during his last (good) wrestlemania bout.

I doubt it will happen, but there is always that 1% chance we all hope for.

He's causing the hype for it even more by changing his answer all the time. I've never believed it from the beginning, but if he goes around saying "No" in one interview, then "Yes" in another, just to go back to saying "No" again, it just makes him the one stirring the pot. If he wanted to blow all the rumors out the window, he would always say "No".

anyone that thought Dana would let this happen was dreaming. Brock is his cash cow, why would he let someone else make a dollar off of him? Dana is a lot of things but a bad businessman is not one of those things.

Dana is a lot of things but a bad businessman is not one of those things. Dana could still make some money off the fight still, and that would make him a good business man. |

White is a whore. He's not letting Lesnar do it because Vince won't put HIM in Wrestlemania too. If Vince said, "We have a part for you to play, Dana", White would totally be into it. White wants to be Vince.

I just dont see what is so exciting about a Lesnar return. He never had the passion to succeed as a full time performer. He will not be a legend in this business.

White wants to be Vince. I'll be a professional wrestling fan until the day I die, but fellow fans really piss me off sometimes. Do you have any clue what you're talking about? Dana White IS the Vince McMahon of MMA, and UFC is the WWE, if one must make the comparison. Dana White does not believe in cross promotion. It's the same reason that, even though both were owned by Zuffa, Dana didn't want the WEC logos to be seen anywhere on Spike for Aldo vs Faber. |

Im not one of the MMA tools that run around with a crooked MMA flat billed hat and an Affliction shirt but wrestling isnt as "real" as MMA is |

White wants to be Vince. Putting Brock anywhere near a WWE ring would be bad for the UFC, the MMA world already has a bad taste in there mouths about wrestling, I am sure that Joe Vs Jarrett didn't help that recently either. As much as the bumps leave you sore after working a show, at the end of the day, pro wrestling is a fake fight being staged (this is coming from a guy who has wrestled, so if you don't like what I said, tough) When you're running a fighting promotion, you do not want that being associated with your promotion or sport for that matter. Besides as previously noted on top of that the guy doesn't like cross promotion. |

I heard last Saturday on a mexican channel, before showing UFC, that Brock Lesnar had only 1 fight left on his contract, so doesn't that mean that the ones here saying "Never gonna happen" could be wrong?
