Lesnar decides:
Brock Lesnar has declared his MMA career over, as he announced he has re-signed for WWE. He says they made an offer that was too good to turn down. That deal is a multi year contract, later confirmed to be three years.
Lesnar claims he has been sure of his plans for over a year, but wanted the announcement to be made by him, on his terms. He also said his UFC appearance was not to twist the WWE arm, into giving him more, he just wanted to soak in the UFC atmosphere one last time. He did admit to ESPN, that he had been doing MMA training, and had received a UFC offer that was worth 10 times as much as his first UFC contract, but he just didn't feel it anymore.
Dana White says Brock contacted him a few hours before making the announcement, to tell him, which he appreciated. He wished him, and WWE well.
