5 Signs WWE Champion Brock Lesnar's Return To MMA Is Imminent

4. He Has Slimmed Down Recently

At Brock Lesnar's last appearance on Monday Night RAW, the WWE champion was noticeably slimmer. That has led many to speculate that the WWE champion is cutting weight prior to a UFC (or at least MMA, since Bellator is in the picture) return. The UFC's heavyweight division maxxes out at 265lbs. Lesnar is a big heavyweight, coming in close to 265lbs for most of his UFC bouts. Walking around, he easily twenty to thirty pounds heavier than that, and with his WWE gig, being ripped is more valuable than it is in the UFC. He may be easing off the lifting, losing some muscle mass. Maybe it's just a lifestyle change, but when you're talking about a high level athlete, these sorts of changes often mean something.
