One of the major stories over the weekend was Brock Lesnar making an unannounced appearance at Saturday night’s UFC 146 pay-per-view. UFC President Dana White announced at the post-fight press conference that Lesnar texted him and said he wanted to meet with him face-to-face. White smiled every time he was asked about what Lesnar was doing there and said it was a possibility that Lesnar could return to the UFC for another fight.

There has been a lot of speculation about Lesnar’s meeting with UFC, including how much WWE knew in advance, with some people believing the whole thing was a work and part of the “Lesnar has left WWE” storyline.
WWE sources have indicated that WWE had nothing to do with the meeting. Lesnar told WWE officials afterwards that he met with Dana White at the show, but nothing came of it. Lesnar reportedly pitched the idea of “doing something” with UFC while still working with WWE, but Dana White turned him down because he’s very cautious about mixing “sports entertainment” with legitimate MMA competition.
Even if Lesnar does not fight in the UFC prior to WrestleMania 29 (or ever again), he still got people buzzing about his appearance and added further “legitimacy” to the WWE storyline that he’s no longer under contract with them.
