Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar decided to not return to MMA. It was the right decision according to UFC president Dana White, stating that the WWE star wasn’t 100 percent invested in getting back to fighting.
Current champion Daniel Cormier agrees with White’s statements, but for a slightly different reason.
“Honestly, I just think the WWE gave him such a great deal,” Cormier told TMZ Sports recently (transcript by MMA News). “Like, they really always take care of this guy.
“And ultimately, you get paid that much money to go and wrestle as opposed to fighting me… there’s no predetermined outcome there.
