Report: WWE bartered Brock Lesnar as part of 'secret plan' to steal UFC's Ronda Rousey

All due respect to Master Blaster, but Vince McMahon runs Bartertown.

The legendary professional wrestling promoter recently granted former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar permission to return to the Octagon at UFC 200 in July, which will no doubt pad the pay-per-view (PPV) pockets of Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White, among others.

But just like that day Merlin showed up to claim the son of Uther and Igraine, Vinny Mac will eventually walk through the front door of ZUFFA headquarters -- with a certain amount of swagger, I might add -- looking to collect what he believes is rightfully his.
