Despite earlier rumors stating that Lesnar was looking to fight this year at UFC’s Madison Square Garden show in November,Pro Wrestling sheet is reporting that Lesnar is just keeping his options open once his contract is up with the WWE.
Sources tell us Brock’s contract with WWE expires not long after WrestleMania 34 next year and he’s already made it clear to backstage officials that he currently doesn’t intend to re-sign.
We’re told the reason Lesnar has re-entered the testing pool is so that when his contract is up, he can make the right decision about his next career move … should he want to return to MMA.
Lesnar is currently serving a year-long suspension for testing positive Hydroxy-Clomiphene last July, The former UFC heavyweight champion’s suspension was “frozen” when he retired from MMA in February until he re-entered the testing pool which means that Lesnar will most likely remain ineligible until mid-December.
While Conor McGregor is out boxing Floyd Mayweather and Ronda Rousey is MIA, the UFC would throw a shit ton of money at Lesnar to return and fill in the gap until one of their stars return.
