Stephanie McMahon on Brock Lesnar: 'UFC is not a competitor to WWE'

The WWE chief brand officer spoke to Business Insider recently about what it means for WWE to allow Brock Lesnar to compete at UFC 200 against Mark Hunt.

WWE chief brand officer, Stephanie McMahon, has seen Brock Lesnar rise to fame in pro wrestling, leave for UFC, and make a triumphant return to WWE after being out of the company for almost a decade.

Now Lesnar is as popular as he ever was, and in a very unique situation, WWE has granted "The Beast" a one-off opportunity to return to the Octagon at UFC 200 on July 9, 2016 and fight Mark Hunt, even though he is still under contract.
