The last few months have clearly been a rollercoaster for Brock Lesnar. In June, at UFC 199, it was announced that The Beast Incarnate would return to the octagon at UFC 200. This created a lot of buzz going into UFC 200, and at the grand event, he defeated his opponent Mark Hunt by unanimous decision.
At that point, Brock’s stock was never higher. He got universal praise and was riding a huge wave of momentum. At that point, he seemed unstoppable. However, just like a rollercoaster goes up, it comes swirling down.

WWE was heavily criticized for the fact that Lesnar was not suspended for clearly violating the Wellness Policy, with the logic simply being that part-time wrestlers don’t get suspended. Brock Lesnar did come back and even got to main event Summerslam against Randy Orton, a match that he won by Technical Knockout(TKO) when he elbowed Orton so bad that he just busted him open and blood gushed out of The Viper’s head.
It was a shocking finish which culminated in him giving an F5 to Shane McMahonas well, who tried to stop Lesnar from annihilating Orton. This seems to be leading to what will be a storyline suspension for Lesnar, which will keep him out until Royal Rumble.In the video below, Brock Lesnar spoke to TMZ Sports at the WWE 2K17 media event on Friday night, 2 days before Summerslam and was asked about a possible return to UFC.
