Does Brock Lesnar want out of the UFC?
According to Dave Meltzer of Yahoo! Sports/Wrestling Observer, Brock is currently looking for an "exit strategy" from the UFC.
Meltzer said on his radio show that the fight with Velasquez has changed Brock's attitude on fighting and he is at the stage in his life where he doesn't want to get injured. He's very well off financially and the business man in him apparently knows that it may be time to move on.
Meltzer also mentioned that Brock hasn't trained a single day since the Velasquez fight nor he has returned any phone calls to Dana or Zuffa about upcoming matches.
Dave pointed out if Brock was motivated, he would be right back in the gym training and bringing in new coaches with the goal of beating Cain yet he isn't doing that. He's hunting and hasn't even thought about his next fight. Lesnar apparently wants to do WrestleMania "badly" and will earn an estimated 2 million dollars for 30 minutes of work.
Everything is pointing towards Brock having one more fight and ending his contract. His head doesn't seem to be in the fighting game and it looks like it was just yet another successful business move.

I said from get-go that this circus show White was running with Lesnar would backfire on his ass.
Sure, he got good PPV numbers out of Lesnar, but damage he'll do if basicaly takes his ball and leaves after getting his ass kicked, and goes back to pro wrestling, will be lingering.
This guy UFC hyped as as the "Baddest Man on the Planet." That even got mainstream sport's media involed in him.
Man, sure White going to do everything he possibly can to make sure this doesn't happen.

Yeah Brock is the number 1 PPV seller in MMA and his loss will hurt the UFC bit.

Losing Brock won't hurt them that badly, the UFC has an exciting heavyweight division at the moment.

Cain's Mexican fan base will help.

What if JDS beats him? He would be as bad a draw as Tim Sylvia.

As long as Heavyweights in the UFC keep producing knockouts they'll sell.

None of the HW's in the UFC have that charisma that sells the PPV's like Brock. Big loss IMO.freakzilla wrote:Ali wrote:Losing Brock won't hurt them that badly, the UFC has an exciting heavyweight division at the moment.

I agree. Cain, Carwin and JDS have boring personalities. Brock is number 1 by far and people will pay to see Mir get bashed. Other than that nothing.

When Manny demolished Oscar he gained some of his fans, I am sure the same will happen for Cain. America loves watching heavyweights and the UFC is producing them at the moment.
