So for those that don't know, Lesnar got destroyed last night in an MMA fight in the UFC. He subsequently announced his retirement. So how long do you think it will be until he's back with the WWE?

He won't go back to the WWE (or at least it's highly unlikely). He left rather messily, and with lawsuits and stuff. If he does go back to pro wrestling, he'll either go back to NJPW or go to TNA

Finally he is out of UFC, while he has (had) quiet formidable skills I never liked him on a personal level. He did change his attitude after Dana had a talk with him about it, don't bite the hand that feeds you. I have similar feelings about this to Nick Diaz, great athlete, total waste of talent (my opinion) should not be in the UFC with his drug history.

It's all a big gay soap opera.
UFC is awesome because it's two guys beating each other up.
Shame to see him go, though.

He did do a good job with Shane Corwin. He's recent devastation was hard to predict IMO. One side kick to the belly and he dropped like a sack of potatoes gulping like a fish out of water.

Getting some of his guts cut out probably didn't help his game any. To tell the truth, I'm surprised he's in as good shape as he is.

Agreed. He was kneed like four or five times in the gut as well(each time he bellowed out). Appears his opponent attacked his weakness.

And how many times has this happened with Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Mick Foley etc. Vince has a major chub for big guys and if Lesnar wants to come back the almighty dollar will gloss over any feelings of ill will between him and Vince.

Very true statement.

Brock doesn't seem to live their quasi white trash baller lifestyle though, so I doubt money will be a problem for him. He was at his farm driving a tractor when he was given word of this fight, and had some pre-fight legal problems with hunting in Canada. Dude is a simple farmboy hunter that loves privacy when it comes down to it. I thought he'd be done after his last bout with divirtilitus, personally.

I imagine Frank Mir will be livid that he doesn't get a rubber match with Brock. If Brock does come back and it was just emotions talking, like every other MMA fighter that says he's retiring in the octagon after a devastating loss, thats the fight I want to see him come back to.

I got Overeem reigning as heavy weight champ in 2012. Dos Santos is a standup guy as a person and I'd hate too see him get his ass kicked, but I think, and always have, that Alistair is for real.
