I mean they never said his fight deal was over, he was just suspended (which Brock doesn't care about because he had no interest in being there that soon anyway). WWE will let him fight in UFC again, it's publicity for them and makes Brock look strong

I'm confused as to why UFC would want him back, and who would want to fight him, after his failed drug test fiasco the last time he fought. Given the nature of his drug suspension, does UFC even think he's a draw anymore? Do people realistically even want to see him fight, knowing he's a tainted fighter? In other sports, you use steroids/drugs and get suspended, you end up sort of blackballed by the organizations/teams, and the fans lose interest in you.

As long as he drops the title to Joe or Braun, I'm cool with it

Brock brings in money. Above all else, that's what matters to UFC.

He may not be able to rake in the buys like before, or come close to what Ronda/Connor have done since then, but he can easily be plugged into strong card to push it over the top. Trust me, regardless of what fighters truly think about cheaters, someone will jump at the opportunity to land the payday. |

I thought he retired officially from UFC so he wouldn't have to deal with the drug testing. I'm not really knowledgeable on UFC but I also thought that I heard his retirement would mean that he couldn't fight for a while if he did return. I'm probably wrong though.

Aslong as he doesn't embarrass the WWE and it's a win-win deal for all parties, I'm all for it. (Even though the WWE are quite capable of embarrassing themselves 🤣)

After spending 4 billion dollars, the new owners are going to look past morals to make money. Without Rousey, GSP, or McGregor anytime soon, they need some drawing power. It doesn't shock me. |

Why would Paul Heyman be there? He's not Brock's agent in real life.

I know the owners have no morals and they'd roll out anybody who they think could draw...I just don't see Brock as a draw anymore. His first run in UFC, yeah, he was an attraction. He drew big money. He's stopped being a big draw for WWE and only draws minimal fan interest. And with real fight fans, you would think some of the shine has worn off his appeal due to the drug failure/suspension. I know I sure as hell wouldn't buy a UFC PPV JUST for Brock Lesnar anymore. The people who are going to buy are still going to buy, but I think you lose those people who might have otherwise ONLY have purchased just for him. I don't know what percentage of the fanbase that is or how it would affect the UFC's bottom line. It's like in baseball, people who were showing up JUST to see A-Rod before the steroid scandals stopped showing up. He wasn't an attraction anymore. |

Not surprised. My guess is that Brock drops belt before then anyways.

Probably why Vince is moving up the rumored Mania main event to SS17

So Roman wins the title at SummerSlam...probably by pinning Joe so Braun and Brock don't look weak, right?
Brock wins the Royal Rumble, and then at WM34, Roman retains against Brock so he can be the 1 that beats the other 1 in 23-2?

Honestly I wish he would just leave period. Put that money towards keeping your work horses happy and give the strap to someone who WANTS to be there every Monday night.
