Looks that way but nothing official yet.

Anderson Silva is my favorite MMA fighter of all-time but Lesnar is my 2nd fave.

I never cared much for Anderson once he started his showboating during fights but he was amazing for a loooong time! Sucks to see great fighters grow old but glad he didn't retire after he failed the drug test.

I didn't like his showboating either......just like I didn't like Mayweather's but Silva does some amazing shit in the squared circle.

Brock Lesnar? Fedor Emelianenko? Nate Diaz? This could be UFC's biggest night ever

Nate Diaz?

I think they meant Nick Diaz but even that doesn't seem like a possible matchup.

UFC'S DANA WHITE DENIES BROCK LESNAR IS BACK AS ACTIVE FIGHTER | PWInsider.comhttp://www.pwinsider.com/article/10...ock-lesnar-is-back-as-active-fighter.html?p=1

With all the Brock Lesnar rumors making the rounds following Ariel Helwani's report that Brock Lesnar is close to signing a deal that would see him fight at UFC 200 on 7/9, it is interesting to note the following interview conducted yesterday by ESPN's Brett Okamoto where White comments on the idea that Lesnar was back in their camp:

White said that UFC recently heard from both Brock Lesnar and WWE's lawyers after a glitch led to him being listed as a member of the company's active roster on their website recently and referred to Lesnar as "under contract" with WWE. White spoke about Lesnar's run with UFC as if it was in the past.

Whether anything has changed in the last 24 hours however, we shall see

The part in bold could be where this rumor started. Dana could be covering but with him sticking to his guns on Conor McGregor not fighting at UFC 200 he has a recent history of not deceiving fans.

Damn I was wrong, it is now official,

 

[wildturkey]

It's a one time only deal. Can't imagine Brock will be facing that big of a name unless that person has already been training and they've kept it super quiet

Might as well trade him back to WWE. His body is too beat up to even begin a career in MMA. He's tried but he can't make it out of camps

Double post there turks.

Server been a little wonky

 

[Duffman]

I don't know a lot about MMA but I've seen the name Mark Hunt thrown out there by some MMA people.

Damn banned for life because he broke the Lesnar story, I mean I'm sure in time things will be fine but holy hell does that suck.

 

[anotheridiot]

they say they will announce the opponent Monday. Good for Brock. I have no idea why Vince McMahon was blocking this, other than the fact that Dana White does not allow his fighters under contract to wrestle.
WWE wanted Ronda at WM in Dallas, and even though Ronda was suspended, she still did not appear. This has nothing but free publicity for WWE when Brock returns, especially if he wins a match. Brock actually made the WWE title seem important for a while.

When and why was Ronda suspended?

White is a fucking douche. He needs his ass kicked. Not the first time he's banned reporters because he doesn't like what they report. Helwani was just doing his job. The media is not there to be UFC's PR firm.
