Stephanie McMahon: UFC fighters lose credibility upon defeat

WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon explains what makes them different from the UFC and why they allowed Brock Lesnar's one-off fight at UFC 200.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will be stepping back inside the Octagon on July 9th to co-headline UFC 200 against Mark Hunt. This, however, would be a mere one-off opportunity, as stipulated by his current employer, the WWE.

Many were surprised about the sudden turn of events, particularly since Lesnar holds a live contract with the WWE. But according to Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon, no breach has been made since the WWE and UFC are two polarizing entities.
