Report: Brock Lesnar is a free agent following contract impasse with WWE

Could a return to MMA be in the cards for former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar?

The 43-year-old Lesnar retired from MMA, seemingly for the last time, in 2019 after being unable to come to terms on a title fight with then-champion Daniel Cormier. Instead, he ended up going back to his other vocation - pro wrestling - and it seemed like he would be with WWE for the rest of his athletic career. But that apparently might not be the case.

According to PWInsider, Lesnar was in the process of negotiating a new deal with WWE when the old one expired, leaving him available to the highest bidder.
