WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has ruled out a return to UFC, saying he’s too old to step foot back in the Octagon.
After leaving WWE in 2004, Lesnar would eventually make it to UFC and dominated the company before his WWE return in 2012.
Speaking to the New York Post, the Beast Incarnate was asked about a potential return and said:
“That door is closed. You know what, Dana White, the Fertitta brothers [Lorenzo and Frank] were exceptional to me.
“I’m too old. That’s a young man’s sport, and that door is closed. I’m Brock Lesnar, the WWE Superstar.”
Lesnar made a one-off return at UFC 200 in a fight with Mark Hunt.
The WWE Superstar would win the fight but the result was overturned to a no-contest after he failed a drug test for the banned substance clomiphene, an estrogen blocker.
Brock will defend his WWE Championship tonight inside Madison Square Garden.
