Brock Lesnar open to WWE return, but at the end of the day he is an "Ultimate Fighter"
Posted on October 11, 2011, 06:35 PM by Trent ReinsmithFormer UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar’s next fight is on the horizon as he is booked to face Alistair Overeem on December 30th at UFC 141 and while its doubtful that the reclusive Lesnar will be making himself visible beyond a few UFC press events, fans will be able to catch a glimpse of him before then, albeit in video game form.
Lesnar, with the approval of the UFC, has lent his likeness to the “WWE 12” game that will be released on November 22. While talking about the upcoming release, Lesnar had the following to say about a potential return to the ring and his current status as an MMA competitor, “I think I will. I think under the right circumstances I will. I think if Vince McMahon and I were able to sit down at the same dinner table and break some bread that we could come up with some kind of game plan. At the end of the day, I'm an ultimate fighter. That's who I am and that's who I'll always be. I was an entertainer but at the end of the day, I'm still as real as it gets. I think a lot of things have to fall in the right places for something like that to happen.” - for more see ESPN.com.

at the end of the day brock lesnar is still the biggest pussy ever
I think it just to try to bring more fans over from the wwe to mma
Im guessing hes covering all his bases since he knows Overeem is gonna give him a whooppin, Lesnars not the type of guy to stick around just to be number 2 if hes not top dog hes gone
Agree with Keyboard Contender above - once his chances of fighting for the title are out, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in pro wrestling.
Fighters who are really focused on being number one don't usually talk about career changes.
If Brock wasn't in the WWE, he'd be seen as what he really is, a powerful but one dimensional wrestler.
He did bring lots of attention to the sport from outside MMA circles, but maybe not always in a good way.
Im a huge Brock fan from back when he was in the WWE but hey hes not MMA material, being huge only gets you so far. Just wish hed get healthy and farm or something haha. Being in the ufc only brings in more drama and with people like chael and bisping we dont need much more of it.
Brock Lesnar consideres himself an "Ultimate Fighter" but not a "MMA Fighter"?
he is more like "The Ultimate Faker"..and i do hope to see Reem knee is face into silly putty.
brock lesnar fans sorry to say that but this clown will never be champion again
stone cold steve austin would have kicked his ass
No one on this site should ever admit they are a fan of WWE. In my opinion of course. What Brock meant by the right circumstances is lots and lots of money. At the end of the day Brock likes to get paid before anything else and he knows how to market himself. You cant really blame him for that love him or hate him.
What a hippocrite.
Willing to go back to the WWE, but also stating that he is as real as it gets, totally contradicted himself.
The UFC did a great job of hyping up Lesnar during a time when UFC heavyweights were a joke and nobody in their right mind considered the UFC heavyweight champ much a title to hold.
Brock didn't change that but Dana and the crew managed to convince a lot of casual American fans that Brock was the real deal and "the baddest man on the planet." I don't think there is any fighter in the history of MMA that had an easier road to a major title then Brock, he was pretty much given the title (I am sure Dana wanted to kill Mir after their first fight, he was suppose to lose).
For me, watching Brock flinch every time he gets hit has always told me the whole story.
when bass rutten calls you a disgrace to the sport, youre probably a disgrace to the sport
i love Rutten but the dudes words arent gospel, that just his opinoin, i disagree
"under the right circumstances"= couple more ass poundings by real strikers.
The ego on this guy.
If he looses this next one, he should probably protect his brain and retire... heavyweight hands can cause un-needed concussions.
f*ck you brock!
He probably stands to make a serious wad of cash with the WWE.
Brock is the biggest b*tch in MMA
Id go back to wwe if I were him too especially after alistair seperates his head from his body
