Dana White on Brock Lesnar: Is Brock heading back to UFC?

brocklesnarPiggybacking on comments made last week, Dana White told TMZ today that former UFC heavyweight champion brock lesnar wants to return to the octagon.

Lesnar is signed to WWE through WrestleMania 31, so at first glance this wouldn’t seem doable. But White, the UFC president, told TMZ that he thinks Lesnar “wants to do both. When his schedule opens up, I think he’d like to fight.”

White said last week that he talks with Lesnar regularly, and that Lesnar feels that his UFC career didn’t go according to plan because of injuries.

Lesnar won the UFC heavyweight title in his second UFC match, but left with just a 5-3 record, dropping his last two fights, to Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem.

Lesnar is also a former WWE champ and was the NCAA champion at the University of Minnesota.
