Brock Lesnar just showed the world he is still able to compete at a high level in MMA with his big win at UFC 200 against Mark Hunt. The question now becomes, will Brock fight again in the octagon? Brock seems like the kind of guy who would want to keep challenging himself. Up next for Brock is Summerslam on August 20th where he will take on Randy Orton. Jim Ross took to his blog to talk about if Brock will fight again in the UFC and how he would book Lesnar vs Orton at Summerslam.
JR thinks that Lesnar will fight for the UFC again as there is too much money to be made from all parties involved:
“I’d be shocked to hear that Lesnar was not going to fight again in the UFC. There are too many winners in this formula notwithstanding it creates a significant new, payday for Lesnar which keeps him happy, gets WWE a ton of global media stretch plus it creates a potential, organic storyline for WWE to utilize for Brock’s next WWE event after said, UFC fight. I’d keep any subsequent UFC fights for Brock away from Wrestlemania but where there is big money involved, deals can quickly be made and likey will be made” (Source: JRSBARBQ).
JR on how he would book Lesnar vs Orton at Summerslam:
“No, I’m not concerned about the number of Suplex City trips that RKO may go on in this main event level bout as some who have expressed such online. I could see Orton looking to debilitate Lesnar’s leg, for example, therefore making it more challenging for Brock to suplex Randy which is an easy and believable story to tell. Nonetheless there are multiple ways to structure a compelling pro wrestling presentation especially when dealing with two men as skilled as Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton” (Source: JRSBARBQ).
