Brock Lesnar Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar may be strongly considering a return to the world’s largest MMA promotion, according to a recent report. In the latest addition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Dave Meltzer reports that Lesnar’s current bosses at professional wrestling organization WWE are working under the assumption that the 37-year-old is intent on returning to the UFC when his contract expires in March 2015. “The Lesnar people always keep things quiet, but within the company, the belief is that he’s going back to UFC, and his showing up lighter to TV last week confirmed that to people who thought it,” Meltzer stated. While UFC President Dana White has previously suggested he’d be willing to consider a Lesnar return to the promotion, when reached for comment, the exec said there hasn’t been any progress in recent months. “I haven’t talked to Brock,” White told MMAjunkie via text. In November, at the UFC’s massive “The Time is Now” press conference, White admitted that Lesnar has expressed a desire to compete against for the first time since suffering a TKO loss to Alistair Overeem at December 2011’s UFC 141 event.
