Brock Lesnar never considered a return to the WWE and is 100 percent focused on winning back his UFC heavyweight title.
That’s according to the former champ himself, who broke his silence Tuesday regarding rumors that he wanted out of his UFC contract and back into the WWE after suffering a first-round loss to Cain Velasquez in October.
“I would not be here if I didn’t enjoy this,” said Lesnar, who is currently in Las Vegas to film “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series. “I could definitely do something else with my life. I have a lot of other opportunities.
At the UFC training facility on Tuesday, Lesnar wouldn’t deny he received an offer from his old employer, WWE chairman Vince McMahon, but claimed he never seriously considered it.
“That thing took on a life of its own. I’m a fighter,” Lesnar said. “I never pursued it.
“When I go dark, people got to talk about something. I don’t have any control over that, nor do I really care. That’s the funny thing: I go up and sit in my deer house or fish shack and you guys still talk about me. And I don’t have to say a word.”
