Of course, there’s a whole lot more to Brock Lesnar’s world than Saskatchewan and the WWE. Another very real possibility for Lesnar is for further appearances inside that Octagon that he triumphantly returned to on Saturday.

Having been away since December 2011, Brock seemed comfortable in dealing with the challenge that the no. 9 ranked Mark Hunt posed; surely that’s enough to make him a contender in the UFC heavyweight division? The organisation themselves seem to think so—almost immediately giving him a top 10 spot in the rankings—though Brock himself was non-committal on the subject over the course of the weekend’s press conferences.

Beyond any questions over Brock’s ability and health though, the biggest stumbling block to contend with here is the fact that he remains contracted to the WWE. But then again, few would have predicted Vince sanctioning the UFC 200 deal, so who knows whether or not he’d be willing to budge on another arrangement in the future.

Besides, as Brock Lesnar has said and indeed proved in the past, “Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants”.
