It’s been a while since WWE fans have seen Brock Lesnar, as The Beast dropped the Universal Championship to Seth Rollins a few weeks ago, and then he stepped away. There’s been talk of Brock Lesnar possibly making a return to UFC to fight Daniel Cormier, but according to Dana White that won’t be happening. Brett Okamoto of ESPN recently took to Twitter to share news of Lesnar’s retirement, and he noted that UFC is hoping to book Cormier in a rematch against Stipe Miocic.
Dana White: “Brock Lesnar told me he’s done. He’s retiring.”
