Brock Lesnar, a versatile champion, has achieved success in multiple domains, securing NCAA Heavyweight and WWE championship titles. His stint in the NFL was short-lived due to a pre-debut mishap. Lesnar’s foray into MMA is also noteworthy. Despite his hiatus from the UFC octagon, Dana White recently provided insights into the speculation surrounding Lesnar’s potential resurgence in the ring, sparking discussions about his comeback to the sport.
Could Brock Lesnar’s UFC Comeback Be in the Cards? Dana White Weighs In
Brock Lesnar boasts a 5-3-0 pro MMA record. His most recent battle took place at UFC 200 on July 9, 2016, against Mark Hunt, culminating in a No Contest Decision at the 5-minute mark of the third round within the Heavyweight division. With a remarkable 80% finish rate, Lesnar secured 5 wins, comprising 3 knockouts, 1 submission, and 1 decision.
In a recent SummerSlam match against Cody Rhodes, Lesnar showcased his prowess. While Cody Rhodes indicated that Lesnar had engaged a strength and conditioning coach for the match, it’s not necessarily an indicator of an imminent Octagon return.
Dana White, the influential figure behind the UFC, has been observant of Brock Lesnar’s physical transformation. Lesnar’s physique has witnessed a lean transformation while retaining formidable strength, defying his 46 years of age. White expressed, “Brock looks good, doesn’t he? He always does.” Despite the commendation, White asserted, “I think Brock’s done, I don’t think he ever comes back.” (ht/ SI.com)
While Lesnar’s athleticism remains admirable and his return to the Octagon would be highly anticipated by fans, White’s statement seems to quash any immediate hopes of witnessing the MMA icon back in the UFC arena.
Although Lesnar’s star power persists, White can’t foresee his return to the Octagon, holding a steadfast view on the matter. The MMA world will continue to speculate and wait with bated breath for any future developments regarding Brock Lesnar’s fighting career.
