Max Holloway KO's Justin Gaethje In Buzzer Beater Throwdown Finish At UFC 300

Brock Lesnar is currently enjoying one of his best and most fun runs in his time in the WWE.

As well as being arguably the WWE's biggest name, Lesnar is also seen as one of the UFC's biggest pay per view draws of all time and a pioneer of the sport of MMA.

Despite not having fought since UFC 200 in 2016, talk around a potential return fight for Lesnar pops up fairly regularly. Lesnar has been rumoured to fight the likes of Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier in the last few years and has never publicly come out and spoke about the potential fights.

However, that has now changed and in a recent interview with The New York Post, Lesnar has officially closed the door on a return to MMA.

See what Lesnar had to say in the post below.

Lesnar insisted that he is too old to come back and fight in MMA and said that MMA is 'a young man's sport.'

Although there will of course still be some fans out there who would love Lesnar to return to the UFC, Lesnar is right in his comments and it would probably be dangerous for him to return to the heavyweight division where there are a lot of young and dangerous fighters.
