While talking to the media at a press event to promote tonight’s UFC 200 event, UFC President Dana White discussed his negotiations with WWE’s Vince McMahon and Triple H to have Brock Lesnar return to the Octagon:
“It was Brock’s team, me, Vince and Triple H. Vince and I have had our ups and down, and Vince is a tough character to deal with. He’s an animal. It’s one of the things I respect about him, and I think he’s loosening up a little bit on the UFC.”
White also expressed his appreciation for WWE helping promote the event, by live streaming the weigh in’s on their YouTube channel, as well as posting ads of Brock’s return as well:
“Yeah. The fact that they did this – I wanted to reciprocate, so yes. And they’re doing [it too]. If you look today, Brock’s weigh-in will be on all social media for WWE. This deal couldn’t have worked out any better.”
