The WWE granted Lesnar a “one-off” opportunity to fight for real in the historic July 9 event, but it appears Lesnar isn’t receiving the WWE’s full backing. Earlier this week, WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon said the organization wasn’t “necessarily” supporting Lesnar’s MMA return at UFC 200.
Here’s a shocker, Lesnar couldn’t care less.
“I really don’t give a sh*t,” Lesnar stated during Thursday’s UFC 200 conference call. “I don’t know. I don’t care what she says.”
There’s also a sense among hardcore professional wrestling fans that Lesnar’s popularity might take a hit if he gets knocked out by Hunt.
