I don't think I've seen it posted yet, but rumour is that Lesnar will be signing with UFC in March.

On the Thursday edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, it was said by Dave Meltzer, who is the founder, publisher, and editor of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that after Brock Lesnar’s contract expires with WWE this spring. Lesnar will likely sign with the UFC and make another run at the UFC heavyweight championship.


Meltzer isn’t the only person who has said that Lesnar is interested in fighting again. UFC president Dana White said in an interview with Fox Sports that Lesnar is more than interested in a return to the UFC.

“Brock Lesnar’s under contract with the WWE. We have a great relationship with him. He’s healthy and he has said that he’s interested in fighting again. It’s pretty amazing what [Lesnar] did and accomplished here while having diverticulitis. It would be interesting to see a 100-percent healthy Brock Lesnar compete.”

There are rumblings that WWE chairman Vince McMahon isn’t happy with Lesnar’s current contract with WWE, and feels that he overestimated the value of having Brock Lesnar on his roster on a part-time basis.

With WWE going away from the pay-per-view business and moving all of their pay-per-views to the WWE Network, Lesnar’s contract may not be worth the $5 million a year WWE is paying him without getting any pay-per-view revenue when Lesnar performs on big shows.

It’s rumored that the only other wrestler in WWE that makes what Lesnar is making is The Rock. However, that’s just based on when The Rock was WWE champion back in early 2013.

There’s also rumors that Brock Lesnar may sign with UFC competitor Bellator. However, UFC president Dana White thinks that Bellator has no chance to sign Lesnar.

“Brock Lesnar wouldn’t go to Bellator. Brock wants to fight the best guys in the world. The best guys in the world are in the UFC.”

If Lesnar were to sign with Bellator it’s likely that Bellator would have to pay Lesnar a pretty incredible flat rate, as their plan going forward is to put on four big shows a year that will air for free on Spike TV, which would mean Lesnar wouldn’t get a cut of the pay-per-view revenue since their wouldn’t be any.

The advantage to Lesnar signing with the UFC is that they’ll probably pay him a pretty good chunk of their pay-per-view revenue on top of a guaranteed flat rate.

From 2008 to 2011, Brock Lesnar was the biggest pay-per-view draw in all of pro wrestling and mixed martial arts. The only other athlete that was a bigger draw than Lesnar was Floyd Mayweather.

It’ll be interesting to see how Lesnar’s contract situation affects WWE’s plans for him going forward, and if Lesnar does end up back in the octagon, it’ll be interesting to see if people still care about him enough to buy a Brock Lesnar headlined pay-per-view.

Lesnar’s last fight in the UFC was on December 30, 2011 at UFC 141, where he was completely decimated by Alistair Overeem in just two-and-a-half minutes.

Pretty sure it was stated that he'd have to wrestle in an official match.

 

[Quivorir]

As much as I'd love to see Brock back in the UFC I hope he doesn't. Just sign a full time WWE contract please. He wouldn't beat the top 5 heavy weights I don't think.

 

[E92_]

I thought that I read that he only signed a new contract a few months ago?

 

[Hate]

MAGGLE.

 

[Zach Package]

We want Mizdow!!

 

[Hate]

JFC this is one boring match. Get Mizdow in there already.

 

[Zach Package]

[TooUglyForFugly]

Too bad Damien couldn't get the title as part of the Rhodes Scholars but better late than never.

Potential spoilers for Survivor Series.

Spoiler: Survivor Series Spoilers

As of now the plan is for Sting to be involved in the Authority vs. Cena 5 on 5 elimination Main Event. Sting will not wrestle, he will have an influence on the end of the match. As of this writing, it looks as though Team Cena will lose. Whoever pinned will be fired and Sting will be announced by Vince McMahon as the new GM. Therefore, whoever is fired will be rehired either on SS or the RAW after. Plans may change but right now it seems as though Sting will be the new authority figure who's backed by Vince McMahon and against The Authority.

Woop.

Woop.

Looks like the sheet was half-right.

Stuff from SmackDown tapings is a spoiler because it's been recorded for broadcast.

Internet speculation on what might happen on PPVs and live Raws doesn't seem like a spoiler.

It was a little bit more than internet speculation. I know that people don't like to trust dirtsheets, and for good reason, but when you have multiple different people saying that Sting was there and that he would be appearing, which the WWE apparently did little to keep a secret, you have to think it holds a little weight. That was a surprise, and I think some people would have preferred it if it had not been given away. That's the impression I got from other online communities. It's like if someone got the script to a movie before it was released and told you before you had a chance to see it.

 

[NitroFan]

I really hope theyre not building to sting vs hhh

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Why do I feel like the result won't mean anything for tomorrow ...

 

[TradeDraft]

I really hope theyre not building to sting vs hhh

\
but that would make no Sense to what we saw at Survivor Series

 

[TradeDraft]

So we have Cena vs Show Feud now?

 

[GreekLunatic]

I wonder when vince will make sting champ

 

[TradeDraft]

I wonder when vince will make sting champ

Well Rumors are the Sting will be the new Raw GM

 

[GreekLunatic]

The reason I said it he held the wcw belt the tna belt so why not the wwe belt

 

[TradeDraft]

The reason I said it he held the wcw belt the tna belt so why not the wwe belt

He is signed to only wrestle 1 Match in WWE

I didn't think the part about The Authority winning made any sense if Sting was showing up during the match

I reckon it was done to boost interest, they want to sell the Network with a massive push with it being the first ever free PPV basically so if numbers are lower than expected, tell them all Survivor Series is going to be a must see event, Raw already gets boosted by Sting being at SS, but if people don't know he is coming they wont bother with the PPV as it was a 1 match show basically.

Now they hope to get people signed up, enjoy a month and realise its worth keeping

I did also notice at least 1 guy in the front row constantly looking to the rafters when the Authority were beating up Ziggler
