The immediate question after Brock Lesnar's victory at UFC 200, at least for the fans and press in attendance, was "what's next?" Because that's always the question.

Lesnar came back, and won big. He took out a top ten heavyweight in the UFC, meaning he can still hang with the best in the world. If he wants to fight again, he probably could, depending on his contract with the WWE. When asked about this, he seemed serious about considering it.

"Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do" he said, in true Lesnar fashion. Never a truer statement has been uttered in the MMA/pro wrestling worlds. Yet beyond that, Lesnar showed interest specifically in fighting top guys, and perhaps even avenging an old loss. When asked about Cain Velasquez, Lesnar confirmed he'd be interested in fighting the man who took his belt back in 2010 again. Velasquez fought at UFC 200 as well, finishing Travis Browne in the first round. It was the former champ's first win since 2013.

There are other interesting fights out there as well: Alistair Overeem, the man who sent Lesnar into retirement (and who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs following their fight), is fighting for the UFC heavyweight title soon, and former champs Junior Dos Santos and Josh Barnett have both campaigned to fight Lesnar, as has fan favorite Roy Nelson.
