When is brock lesnar fighting again

For a prizefighter like Lesnar, there is no such thing as enough money. So come home, Brock. Because in a game that is rigged in favor of the house, Lesnar is the rare name that can walk into the casino and leave with chips spilling out from his massive arms every time. Should he return to MMA? Will he return to MMA?

No chance in Hell. This is not the first time Lesnar has been rumored to return to unscripted combat. And on all but one of those occasions, the same thing has happened: he returned to the WWE fold with a heavier wallet.

How many times does Brock have to do this to the MMA fans of the world before they stop getting excited about it? The image most often evoked when Joe Rogan et al discuss Brock is a Viking marauder, but that misses the mark.

As best I can tell, the man only cares about three things: his family, his privacy, and making as much money as he possibly can. A notorious recluse as it pertains to doing media of any kind, Lesnar has yet to speak about his future intentions and whether that includes fighting again, two years removed from his last UFC tease when he shoved new heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier inside the Octagon after UFC in July That hasn't stopped media members, promoters and active fighters from both speculating on social media to outright challenging the former UFC heavyweight champion.

The debate of whether Lesnar chooses MMA or pro wrestling might be moot considering the potential for him to moonlight between both should he negotiate that way. The bigger story revolves around how strategic it would be for industry leaders WWE and UFC to secure his services as a means to block competitors and how those same promotions could instantly be elevated to contenders by his arrival. In pro wrestling, Lesnar is largely a unicorn in that, because of his part-time schedule, he retains the status of being a special attraction in an era where over-saturation is typically the default given the hours of television to fill.

Lesnar is almost more valuable because he's treated as a premium product. In MMA, he certainly has a much shorter shelf life given his age -- especially if matched too often against the current elites -- and would be more profitable in one-offs that were creatively-matched. Either way, Lesnar will likely have no shortage of offers and opportunities to shift the current balance of power. Let's take a closer look at which ones make the most sense.

The current divide between the two parties likely has to do with WWE not wanting to continue to pay Lesnar an outrageous full-time salary for half the work.

This remains the best option for Lesnar in that he probably has another full decade in him, if the hunger was still there, to stay in great shape and crush people in scripted battles every few months while remaining wealthy and distant on his giant Canadian farm.

With WWE television ratings sinking and fresh competitor AEW doing well, it's hard to imagine McMahon will allow this to be too long of a pissing contest and risk handing over such a ratings powder keg to a competitor. That's not even taking into account Roman Reigns' recent turn as a possible heel. Lesnar will always have WWE to fall back on if he wants to and provided he was able to agree to amenable deal. But little has been talked about Lesnar's history of being bored with his status quo in search of difficult and keyword: competitive challenges.

Dana White breaks tooth on day one of Fight Island, calls dentist in: 'Off to a bad start'. Brock Lesnar to make UFC return at the age of 43? Dana White says otherwise. Dana White willing to book Khabib vs Ferguson for 6th time, but scared it could fall apart. A younger, better fighter beating an older one. Jones standing at a distance, with a significant speed advantage, stabbing his jab and kicks into the poor midsection of Lesnar. Kicking out his legs. Turning that pound behemoth you just mentioned into an immobile heavy bag.

Jones is a good wrestler, as you know. He has been in there with Daniel Cormier , who had a better shot at taking him down than a year-old Lesnar. But all of this is to say, I'm still with it. It's the Mayweather vs. McGregor effect, as you mentioned. It's the spectacle, and it would help Jones a lot, because as great as he is, he has never been considered a superstar. If he goes in there and has some good back-and-forth with Lesnar before the fight, and then has fun destroying him in the Octagon which, actually, if you think about it, Jones has received some criticism as of late because of playing it safe Damn it, Marc.

Now I want to see it. But only this one fight. And in a weird way, it does make sense for everyone. Jones gets a bump in star power. UFC gets a big fight. Lesnar gets a ton of money presumably and a chance to shock the world, if the competitive side of him truly wants that. I'm sold. Marc : Exactly. I couldn't have said it any better myself. And you say you don't know anything about pro wrestling. What you said is Pro Wrestling Know why? Because MMA and pro wrestling have the same business model.
