WWE: Lesnar's UFC 200 fight a one-off opportunity

UFC 200 just became more stacked, with the confirmed addition of former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar into the card.

Lesnar, who retired from mixed martial arts competition in 2011 after suffering a first round TKO loss to Alistair Overem, will be getting his opponent announcement by the coming week. However, WWE officials made it clear that Lesnar’s July 9th fight in Las Vegas would only be a one-time deal.

The WWE released an official statement through its website.

Brock Lesnar remains under contract to WWE, however, he has been granted a one-off opportunity to compete at UFC 200.
