The Latest Details on Brock Lesnar’s WWE Contract Ending & His Possible UFC Future

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Brock Lesnar’s contract ends right after WrestleMania, but there are aspects in the contract that could keep him with WWE through August. Lesnar would need Vince McMahon’s approval to do a UFC fight. Dana White this past week indicated that he believed Lesnar would fight in UFC in 2018, and McMahon did give his approval for the Mark Hunt fight in 2016. Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones was at one time planned for 2018, but that fell apart when Jones was suspended. Lesnar turns 41 this year, and the belief is that he would be interested in one giant UFC payday, which would be the Jones fight. It’s not known yet if Lesnar would try to negotiate the UFC fight into his new deal, or just leave for a few months, train, take the fight, and then come back to the WWE.
