Dana White confirms Brock doesn’t want to “fight”

Dana White was recently questioned about the prospect of Brock Lesnar signing with the UFC again during an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. Lesnar has made a lot of money and has already won the heavyweight belt, so he has nothing to prove, and his comeback is quite doubtful, according to White.

White remarked, “Brock and I get along fine and always have, but I don’t think Brock wants to fight anymore. “Brock has amassed a large fortune. He entered the UFC and took home the heavyweight crown. He has nothing else to demonstrate. He wouldn’t want to do it, in my opinion.”

Why did Lesnar quit MMA?

At UFC 100, the pro-wrestler-turned-MMA fighter successfully defended his heavyweight title while avenging his lone career loss to Mir, winning via vicious ground-and-pound in the second round.

Lesnar got diverticulitis months later and underwent surgery, which kept him out of action for over a year. He made his comeback at UFC 116, defeating interim heavyweight champion Shane Carwin in a convincing way after narrowly averting a TKO loss in the first round. In the second round, he submitted Carwin with a triangle choke.

Lesnar’s title run ended three months later at UFC 121 when Cain Velasquez knocked him out with blows in the first round. He had diverticulitis again, which kept him out of the octagon until UFC 141, when he faced Alistair Overeem. He declared his retirement from MMA after suffering his second consecutive TKO loss.
