| To follow up on the news that WWE has contacted Brock Lesnar about wrestling The Undertaker at WrestleMania 27, the latest is that most people in the company knew nothing about it until this weekend. We have now learned that World Wrestling Entertainment did indeed make an offer to Brock to face 'Taker at Wrestlemania. If Lesnar decides he wants to do it, (and that is a BIG if), then WWE would have to work with UFC on setting up some kind of deal that would allow him to compete. The offer was kept secret from many within the company as noted.
At this point, Lesnar's future is unclear. His next opponent is rumored to be Frank Mir in what would be their third showdown, with each man holding a victory over the other.
Lesnar received several stitches to his face following his fight with Cain Velasquez and said he did not attend the post-fight press conference because he wanted Velasquez to get the spotlight.
Early indications are that UFC 121 had a tremendous amount of buys, with some predictions saying it could be the second most purchased UFC PPV of all time. Brock Lesnar is a HUGE draw and the belief is that Cain Velasquez brought in a lot of Mexican-American viewers similar to what boxing draws with Mexican fans. It's a HUGE semi-new fanbase for the UFC. New UFC Heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will be on comedian George Lopez' show "Lopez Tonight" on TBS this Monday night.
As you can imagine, Lesnar losing the UFC Heavyweight title Saturday night and having a face-to-face encounter with The Undertaker was a big topic of discussion backstage at Bragging Rights. | |

| That would seem like a stepback for Lesnar wouldn't it? He made his name elsewhere, he doesn't need to come back and it makes WWE look hellva lot desperate lol | |

| I don't think it would happen unless Brock wins.....Dana White WON'T let one of his biggest names bend over and get beaten just like that.
Sorry they will never come to an agreement. | |

| UFC president Dana White says UFC fighter Brock Lesnar vs. WWE star The Undertaker won't be happening in WWE.
White addressed today the rumors of a Lesnar vs. Taker match and said Lesnar is under contract to UFC, which means he can't compete anywhere else.
"Brock Lesnar is still under contract with the UFC," White told TMZ. "He is not going to wrestle in the WWE. He cannot wrestle, box, or fight anywhere else.”
During Saturday night's UFC 121 PPV, Lesnar and Taker exchanged words after Lesnar's UFC Hvt. Title loss to Cain Velasquez.
Taker was cageside being interviewed by MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani when Taker asked Lesnar, "You wanna do it?" Asked what that was about, Taker said, "It's a personal thing."
Caldwell's Analysis: White didn't say anything about special refereeing. That's probably the only scenario where Lesnar steps foot back in WWE to referee a Taker match at WrestleMania. Even that remains unlikely. | |
