WWE: Will Brock Lesnar fight again in UFC?
After facing a no-contest due to a failed drug test at UFC 200, Brock Lesnar has shown minimal interest in his octagon return. Currently, Brock Lesnar is highly active in WWE and is unlikely to cut short his WWE stay anytime soon. Interestingly, a Forbes report stated that Brock Lesnar was the highest-paid wrestler in WWE last year.
In the aftermath of UFC 226, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier went on to hint a potential mega-fight between which created a lot of buzz in the combat sports community.
