In an interview with Chad Dukes for 106.7 The Fan (via Rajah), Dana White revealed just how close Brock Lesnar came to signing with the UFC before he decided to renew his WWE contract.
He said: “Not very close at all. We’d known that Brock was probably going to take a pass and go back to wrestling, which was the right move. You know, Brock came in here, he did incredible things and he got a great deal from Vince [McMahon]. He’s 38 years old, man. It makes all the sense in the world.”
Lesnar previously suggested it was closer than that. While making the announcement on ESPN last month, he said: “It was a very hard decision to make. I talked to Dana, I talked to Lorenzo [Fertitta], Vince, my wife [and] my friends. I had many sleepless nights. And at the end of the day, I was born to be an entertainer and I have fun doing it.“
