WWE commentator Jim Ross believes former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar will return to the UFC.
On his blog, Ross discussed Lesnar’s potential return to the Octagon.
“Yes, I do think that Brock Lesnar will again fight in the UFC because he can generate a giant, payday(s) for his family,” Ross wrote.
“And, I assume, would still maintain a positive relationship with WWE. Seems like this matter of Lesnar return to UFC is inevitable and should be a win/win for all involved as it relates to the cash. Winning or losing a UFC fight won’t hamper Lesnar’s value to WWE in the least to my way of thinking. Based on what I know, I see no reason that a Lesnar return to UFC would cease Brock’s WWE paydays over the long haul.”
Lesnar is currently signed with the WWE and is their current Universal Champion.
Ross went on to talk about a potential fight between Lesnar and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones. This past week, both men have shown interest in fighting each other.
“Both men were accomplished amateur grapplers from their college days and both are badass alpha males,” Ross wrote. “There is no doubt that a Lesnar-Jones fight would generate north of 1M PPV buys quite easily, I’m thinking.”
