Chael Sonnen believes Lesnar can still join UFC
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC fighter Chael Sonnen, like most fans, was looking forward to the return of Brock Lesnar to the Octagon after four years away from the promotion and like any other fan; he was also left disappointed when Lesnar announced a renewal of his contract with the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). But the American is not willing to close the door on his return to the UFC for good.
But Sonnen also said that he completely understood what Lesnar meant when he said that his legacy inside the cage in the UFC was over.
The American is currently working as an analyst for the UFC and Chael Sonnen feels that the comments made by Lesnar was pretty obvious in nature – he tried his best to make it feel as if he was ready to return to fighting again competitively.
Lesnar, although never had the best record in the UFC as well as in Mixed Martial Arts, was a devastating combat fighter in his prime at the UFC but his prime was too short. He was on the verge of becoming a free agent with his WWE contract nearing an end and made enough overtures to the UFC for fans to think he was coming back. However, that wasn’t to be and he recently announced that he had signed a new deal with the promotion.
According to Sonnen, the new contract with the WWE means nothing and that there is always the chance that he will return to the promotion in the future.
He said that he knows how close UFC boss Dana White and WWE chairman Vince McMahon are behind the scenes and that makes a return for Lesnar possible. Chael Sonnen knows White as a shrewd tactician and he believes he will bring Lesnar back.
