Brock Lesnar is "too old" to return to the UFC. Unfortunately for professional wrestling fans, it appears a WWE comeback is also off the table.
This was revealed by former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who told Demetrious Johnson that Lesnar is currently on a "no-go list" for competition.
"Brock is on the no-go list right now," Cormier shared. "He's in big trouble. You know what Brock did. I'm not going to say it on air. But Brock is in big trouble."
Cormier didn't disclose the exact circumstances surrounding the ban, but it's worth noting that Lesnar's name surfaced in last year's human trafficking lawsuit connected to former WWE owner Vince McMahon.
At one point, Lesnar was expected to face Cormier for the UFC heavyweight title, even entering the cage and shoving Cormier after his victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 in the summer of 2018.
Instead, Lesnar leveraged the attention surrounding a potential UFC fight to increase his value with WWE.
"WWE paid him more to stay," added Cormier. "We danced around it for a while. It could have been me and Brock when I fought Derrick Lewis in New York. But they paid him so much to stay. He was such a star there, he could make money just doing suplexes."
Or come fight me for real in the Octagon – which is real – and I would have tried to kill him. So yeah, he made the best choice."
Brock Lesnar, 48, hasn't competed in WWE since the summer of 2023.
