Well I wasn't expecting that. Not something I thought would happen and there isn't a chance Vince isn't getting something back. Very imteresting

No doubt Vince only agreed if either Rousey or Conor McGregor could fight at say SummerSlam? I would guess it was for Conor to come in to the WWE for a short feud as it seemed on the cards around WrestleMaina.

Imagine a feud at Summerslam between Lesnar and McGregor!! Would be awesome and due to their weight class they would never get to fight in the UFC but would be huge box office in the WWE.

Also though it is a very huge gamble by Vince to allow Lesnar one fight. If Lesnar wins, no doubt he will want to go for the heavyweight belt again as he was very close in re-signing with them the other year.

Either way I can not wait to see the beast back in UFC.

Is funny, Punk signed up 2 years ago and still not got a fight, Lesnar signed up and within a hour he is co main eventing their biggest PPV in history.

Also in the same time period Lesnar has beaten Taker at WM, destroyed Cena at Summerslam, became one of the most dominate World Champions ever and main evented WM31.

I think this will show Punk that despite thinking he is some huge star, in the grand scale of things he is pretty small time.

Punk's thinks way too highly of himself. Yes, he's a good talent but you need to keep yourself humbled. Brag (within reason) about what you've done, but don't complain about not getting what you think you deserve.

Having said that, I do think that the main event of WM27 should have been Cena vs Punk instead of Cena vs The Miz.

As for Lesnar, exciting stuff all round. Obviously the UFC fight s going to get a lot of interest. The knock-on effect of Lesnar's UFC appearance on WWE should be really good for business, especially if Lesnar wins. And more money for Lesnar of course. How lovely!

Never ever watched a UFC fight tbh, but I'm curious to see how Lesnar gets on.

Even Batista has a better MMA record than Punk.

And yet again a part-timer comes into a company and takes main slots away from veterans like Punk.

Pipebomb time.

In all seriousness, good luck to Lesnar. While he hasn't done UFC in a while he should still be good hopefully and even if not WWE will still have him back with open arms. He's not really got anything to lose.

Now watch him win at UFC then get pinned by Reigns at Summerslam

If he wins WWE will big it up majorly if he loses they will just never mention it again.

If he wins at least JBL can mention it on the end of all the other stuff he says every time Lesnar walks down to the ring!

Surely if he does win, he has to come back and gain the belt? Again though, I honestly believe if he wins his heart will be set on fighting in the UFC full time again. Same with Dana White, the PPV numbers will be through the roof. Unless they can do a deal and have him fight 2/3 times a year.

I assume they just don't have him compete in that case and then have him fight at Rumble or something similar.

Yes Vince will have thought about that I would guess back up plans are already getting made.

I think if Lesnar does well then it will just confirm in his head that he can still do it and he surely wont want to go back to WWE, a PG show that ends at 11pm at night lol. He'll be off if he wins.

Haha, I'm sure he'll walk out on £6 million a year to do a much more intensive job where he's going to be in real fights just because he doesn't want to be an a show that ends at 11. Brock is super internet edgy just like you.

Now come on BFG that's like saying Wales, Northern Ireland, Albania, and Iceland are all undefeated in the Euros I think even everyone on this thread is undefeated in UFC heck I might as well just say I have a better undefeated streak at Wrestlemania than The Undertaker.

It would even take Punk ages to make his Tiddlywinks debut.

Really FMKK? Can you show me the documents which show that? Or if you don't have the documents can you show me Vince McMahon or Brock Lesnar mentioning his contract where that is confirmed?


Or is it a bit like WCW losing $60 million in one year? Another claim online where there is no paperwork or documentation to back it up.


You have no idea of the mindset of Brock Lesnar. Same with CM Punk infact it doesn't have to be fighting, it could be any sport, anytime an athlete goes from one sport to another they accept things might not work out and they do it out of love. If Brock Lesnar went back there and won his fight there is no doubt that in HIS mind he would think he could do it all the time again and I wouldn't be surprised if he did go back. Not cause of the money but because he thinks he can still go at a competitive level and still do it. I'm not saying he will walk out on WWE but if he can make a career in UFC as a legit fighter then why go to WWE, a show where they piss their pants the minute a wrestler bleeds.

Lolol, ok he'll walk out because PG ruins everything dammit! Brock Lesnar is a mark just like you. And you did say he would walk out. AND WWE let's Brock blade.

There's a difference between Brock Lesnar already admitting to going to WWE because he couldn't see a future at UFC. If he ends up going to UFC 200 and WINNING, you cannot seriously tell me it's not gonna cross his mind to keep going? The PPV buys alone will be through the roof. That's like Shawn Michaels coming back to wrestling in 2002 for one match and then ends up wrestling pretty much every week, Shawn musta bee thinking too this is great, my back's holding up well here lol.


If anyone thinks Brock Lesnar is winning and then staying with WWE after this then they're out of their mind. If it's like before and he doesn't think he can keep up with the younger guys in MMA then yes, WWE's millions for very little work is worth it but clearly something has changed since last year and if the chance is there for him to return to what he loves then I think he will take it. Money doesn't come into it with Lesnar, he will make millions at both companies so if he's making millions in either place what is he gonna do, perform in a real sport where people will really respect him and he will be treated like a real sporting champion or stay in WWE and let Paul Heyman read the same script over and over while he stands there unable to do anything, just standing there like a big dummy doing nothing.



I know what he will choose.
