Earlier tonight rumors started to swirl about a possible UFC comeback for former UFC heavyweight champion.
Well, it seems like those rumors were true as the UFC announced Lesnar’s return to MMA with this teaser trailer for UFC 200 that aired live during UFC 199.
Update: The WWE has commented on Brock Lesnar fighting at UFC 200.
Brock Lesnar remains under contract to WWE, however, he has been granted a one-off opportunity to compete at UFC 200. Following this milestone event on July 9, Brock will return to WWE for SummerSlam on Sunday, August 21, live on WWE Network.

They just aired a tremendous promo for 200. It was like the one before Wrestlemania X-7. And then Brock showed up at the end of it.

Brock said, "can you see me now." It was nice. Here comes the pain. Again.

Opponent is truly TBD. Not finalized yet, as I reported earlier. Expect an announcement in the coming days, though. Won't be a long wait.

Josh Barnett is actively campaigning to get the Lesnar fight, I'm told. He wants it badly. He's here at the Forum, too.

Todd Duffee just contacted me. He wants Lesnar, too.
