Backstage Update on a Brock Lesnar WWE Face Turn, News on Lesnar’s MMA Training & More on His Decision Not to Return to the Octagon

March 24, 2015

According to F4WOnline.com, Brock Lesnar had been training for a possible return to MMA for the past two months. Training was said to be very serious, but Lesnar noted during his ESPN interview today that something was missing for him mentally, which is why he chose not to return to MMA/UFC. Lesnar had been training for an MMA return up until just a few days ago.

Another factor which lead to Lesnar deciding against an MMA return is that friends close to him and his wife, former WWE Diva Sable, did not want Lesnar returning to professional fighting.

With Brock Lesnar agreeing to a new multi-year deal with WWE, this opens the door for numerous high profile feuds for the current WWE World Champion. A big babyface turn is also expected in Lesnar’s future, with some in WWE speculating he could be a major face in his match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania depending on the crowd in Santa Clara.

A Lesnar babyface turn is something that has been discussed in WWE since the beginning of this year.
