Dana White Reveals If Brock Lesnar Came Close To UFC Return

In an interview with Chad Dukes at 106.7 The Fan, UFC President Dana White revealed just how close Brock Lesnar came to signing with UFC before he decided to renew his WWE Deal:

“Not very close at all. We’d known that Brock was probably going to take a pass and go back to wrestling, which was the right move. You know, Brock came in here, he did incredible things and he got a great deal from Vince [McMahon]. He’s 38 years old, man. It makes all the sense in the world.”

When making the announcement on ESPN last month that he was staying with WWE, Lesnar did indicate it wasn’t a straight forward decision:

“It was a very hard decision to make. I talked to Dana, I talked to Lorenzo [Fertitta], Vince, my wife [and] my friends. I had many sleepless nights. And at the end of the day, I was born to be an entertainer and I have fun doing it.“
