As if the rumors of current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar jumping to the Ultimate Fighting Championship following WrestleMania 31 weren’t strong enough, an appearance at a UFC show on Feb. 28 has now added fuel to the fire.
Lesnar appeared cageside at UFC 184 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, stirring the pot for a possible return to the company.

When asked why Lesnar was in attendance, UFC President Dana White said with a smile on his face, “I don’t know [why he’s here.]” (per Yahoo Sports)
Lesnar reportedly walked out of “Monday Night Raw” on Feb. 23 in Nashville after a dispute backstage with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, although it was later revealed that he did not fly home.
He’s currently scheduled to defend his championship against Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 31.
Editor’s Note
It’s looking more and more likely that Lesnar will be stepping back in the octagon at some point in 2015 or 2016. This makes the outcome at WrestleMania 31 all the more obvious, no?
