10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (July 8)
4. Brock Lesnar Doesn't Care What Stephanie McMahon Thinks About His UFC Fight
Brock Lesnar is set to clash with Mark Hunt at UFC 200, the former's first MMA fight in almost 5 years. With a 5-3 win-loss record, Lesnar is risking at least some reputation by stepping into the Octagon once again. It's been a source of deliberation for many WWE fans since the fight was announced.
Brock is set to appear at WWE SummerSlam in late-August, his first wrestling bout since defeating Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 32. In interviews, Lesnar has said that Vince McMahon is behind him all the way, but Stephanie McMahon has been a little less supporting during her own interviews.
The McMahon daughter said that WWE didn't fully support Lesnar's decision, prompting a response from Brock this week. Speaking to MMAFighting.com, the former WWE and UFC Heavyweight Champion said that he just didn't care what Stephanie had to say about the matter.
Keeping things short and sweet is a Lesnar trademark, he rarely minces his words when provoked. It's unlikely Steph will retort, but she can't be happy that one of WWE's biggest assets totally disregarded her thoughts.
