It came as a shock, when UFC announced that former WWE World Champion Brock Lesnar will come out of his MMA retirement, for one more fight in the octagon. Despite his lucrative contract with WWE, Lesnar was allowed by the company to sign this deal. And at UFC 200, on July 9th , he will square off against Mark Hunt.
To clarify some doubts, WWE announced that Lesnar will be fighting at WWE Summerslam as well. This decision made the fans believe that there will be more instances of crossovers between the WWE and the UFC in future.
