Heavyweight Champ Brock Lesnar Reaches Impasse With Vince McMahon and WWE Contract, Returning to UFC?

Brock Lesnar is one of the most popular athletes in the world. Throughout his career, he has switched between MMA and wrestling many times, and now it feels that another switch looms around the corner. In recent news, Lesnar and the WWE came to a major "impasse regarding terms of new contract." Predictably, it has been suggested that part of the argument has to do with Lesnar showing interest in the UFC once again.

Before his professional career, Lesnar wrestled for the University of Minnesota. While there, his outstanding performances earned him a WWF contract in 2000.

At the age of 25, Brock won the WWE championship for the first time. He also had notable victories over The Rock and Kurt Angle. After that, however, he participated in a short stint with the NFL, and more notably the UFC.

His time with the UFC was better than average, and even though he is currently signed to the WWE, he remains one of the biggest name to ever step foot in the octagon.

Now, according to MMA Fighting, his time with the WWE might soon be over:

"Brock Lesnar, whose contract with World Wrestling Entertainment has less than five weeks to go, walked out of the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, without appearing as scripted and advertised on Monday's Raw television show.

Sources close to the situation have said Lesnar and WWE CEO Vince McMahon reached an impasse regarding terms of a new contract, and neither would budge. Exactly what his future status is with WWE is unknown. Frank Mir brought up Lesnar and talked about wanting to face him..."

No matter what happens, fans will surely continue to follow the brute wherever he performs.

According to Wrestling Inc., Lesnar's renewed interest in the UFC is rumored:

"There's speculation that the negotiations included Lesnar wanting to fight for UFC while under contract with WWE... The issues also had nothing to do with current or future creative plans...Lesnar's camp and WWE are at a key impasse right now and neither side wants to back down. It's believed that Lesnar will show up for his remaining WWE dates because skipping them would bring a breach of contract."
