“He called me a couple of days ago. He’s never coming back, his body can’t take it,” White said. He added that Lesnar said he could wrestle but can’t fight.

“He was contemplating coming back,” the UFC President added.

White has left the door open for Lesnar’s return after the former UFC Heavyweight champion called it quits after he was defeated by Alistair Overeem last year in December.

Following a new deal with WWE, Lesnar showed up at the UFC 146 pay-per-view in Las Vegas and was shown on camera, fueling more speculations that Lesnar was thinking of coming back. White had a meeting with Lesnar that weekend and said that the meeting couldn’t have gone any worse and it wasn’t good at all.

Despite the meeting, White was optimistic and often said in interviews that he would love to have Lesnar back for one more fight. Brock has been one of the most successful fighters in terms of pay-per-view draws and did millions and millions of money for the UFC.

“Sure, I would bring Brock back. If Brock wanted to fight in the UFC, I would do it,” White said.

Talking about Lesnar going to WWE earlier this year, White said that his deal with the UFC expired with the fight against Alistair Overeem and Lesnar was free to pursue other deals, ultimately choosing to return to the WWE.

Lesnar has a mega deal with the WWE, one that runs into millions for just only a limited number of appearances. His one year deal runs out at next year’s WrestleMania, ensuring that the former WWE and UFC Heavyweight champion wrestles in New Jersey next year.

Lesnar is one of the most successful MMA fighters in terms of box office revenue, generating over a million buys for most of his UFC fights.

Heyman noted that both UFC President Dana White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta would love to have the former Heavyweight champion back for a fight or two, but Heyman doesn’t think Lesnar is up for it.

“Does Brock Lesnar want to go back? I don’t think Brock has anything to prove in the UFC anymore. He’s 35 years old. He made a lot of money in the UFC,” Heyman said.

Lesnar is one of the few UFC fighters who had massive gate money and pay-per-view fights for almost all his fights while fighting for the company, a testament of his true star power.

Heyman said that with all the injuries that Lesnar suffered, it would be stupid to risk another one when he doesn’t really need to, noting that his house, farms, cars, and everything else he owns are already paid for.

With a record of 5-3 in his short, but very profitable MMA career, Lesnar managed to win the UFC Heavyweight title in his third UFC fight, defeating UFC legend Randy Couture in the second round.

Paul Heyman also argued the fact that Lesnar belongs in the UFC Hall of Fame despite his record.

“Listen, here’s the thing: Look at the three that he lost to, number one. Number two, what if Brock Lesnar did what everyone else did and said, ‘Feed me a guy every other month for three years so I’ll get six victories a year. I’ll be 18-0 before you put me in there with a Frank Mir, a former UFC heavyweight champion, or Randy Couture and the legends of legends in UFC.’”
