Ross: Return to UFC for Lesnar possible
With a new contract negotiation forthcoming, manager Jim Ross isn’t ruling out a return to the UFC of former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
After two straight losses and a battle with diverticulitis, Brock Lesnar left the UFC in 2011, having won the heavyweight title once. Since then Lesnar has returned to his career in the WWE, but with a new contract negotiation forthcoming manager Jim Ross isn’t ruling out a return to the UFC:
“It looks to me like he’s gotten back on track,” Ross said. “He looks phenomenal strength-wise. He’s just scary looking. He’s more scary looking than he was before he left [WWE the first time].”
If Lesnar ever did decide to come back, of course the UFC would welcome him back with open arms. He remains the organization’s biggest pay-per-view draw ever. And Ross believes that ability is still there.
“I see no reason he couldn’t have the potential to return to the UFC and sell pay-per-views,” Ross said.
