Dana White says Brock Lesnar needs to call him
The UFC President revealed he hasn’t spoken to the former heavyweight champion in over a year.
“I haven’t talked to Brock. I haven’t talked to Brock in probably a year.”
Despite that, he isn’t sure Lesnar would return to the UFC as he has made a lot of money in his career at UFC, NJPW, and WWE. Lesnar had the chance to switch to fighting many times over the last eight years. However, he has always returned to WWE.
White said, “He’s 43 years old, and he’s got a lot of money. I don’t know what his plans are or how his body feels… If he calls me and is interested in fighting, I would obviously make that fight.”
