Several recent rumors speculated a return of the former UFC heavyweight champ, Brock Lesnar to headline the UFC 300 main event. The rumors gained legitimacy looking at the fact that Lesnar had made a comeback and was featured at the coveted UFC 300. Some reports may have debunked any chances of ‘The Beast Incarnate’s’ UFC return. But the noted UFC legend, Chael Sonnen, hyped up UFC fans about the same once more with one of his recent ‘X’ updates.
‘The American Gangster’ mostly chooses his YouTube channel to discuss his opinion about the current UFC affairs. It was Sonnen who initially sparked the rumors of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s return at UFC 300. But later, ‘The Eagle’s’ coach, Javier Mendez, diffused all such possibilities. This time, Sonnen’s ‘X’ update revealed that he had exchanged words with “Brock”. It read:
“Spoke to Brock..”
Spoke to Brock..

Well, it’s quite apparent that Sonnen’s phrase may have left the fans in a spot of doubt. However, several comments in the replies section predicted that Sonnen had talked to Lesnar about his UFC return.
One such fan wrote, “And finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Your UFC 300 main event…”

Another fan put out a different prediction. He wrote, “UFC300? Undefeated Chael vs Brock Lesner?”

One follower named ‘Brock’ hilariously wrote, “I told him it’s Izzy vs Pereira at 205 for 300.”

However, several fans fired shots at ‘The Beast Incarnate’ due to his alleged misconduct with WWE employee Janel Grant as well. But previous incidents have indicated that the chances of Lesnar’s return to the octagon for UFC 300 are faint.
Dana White himself debunked the chances of Brock Lesnar returning for UFC 300
Sonnen may try his level best to hype up the UFC audiences about Lesnar’s return. But the UFC CEO, Dana White, doesn’t seem pretty interested in getting ‘The Beast Incarnate’ inside the octagon. In one of his interviews with ‘Sportsnet‘, White implied that Lesnar has already passed his prime way back. Hence, he didn’t see any point in negotiating ‘The Beast Incarnate’s’ return.
On top of White’s lack of interest, the Minnesota native is also going through a reputational turmoil right now. Janel Grant’s description of the WWE fighter who also abused her matches with Lesnar perfectly. This will serve as another factor that will probably prevent Dana White and Co. from negotiating ‘The Beast Incarnate’s’ return. But we can never be sure regarding anything in this unpredictable port of MMA.
