#3 UFC is not offering Lesnar enough to interest him

Brock Lesnar might not even want to go to UFC

While Lesnar has enough money to not need to fight, it is also the truth, that given Lesnar's outlook on life, he would never turn down a lucrative deal if it seemed right for him.

On top of that, Lesnar knows that if he accepts a contract with UFC for a fight against Daniel Cormier and actually wins the UFC Heavyweight Championship, he would need to defend the title again.

Lesnar has revealed before that he is only interested in facing Daniel Cormier in the UFC, and the prospect of later having to face other fighters if he is able to defeat Daniel Cormier does not appeal to him.
