    I'd say 2

    A win over Hunt and a top 5 guy would probably be enough to justify it considering how huge a star he is

    Technically (in the UFC, not counting his outside fight) it only took him 1 win to get a title shot

    Nah Herring & Couture were both in the UFC.

    Couture was the title fight. He fought Mir and lost, dominated Herring, and then fought Couture for the title. I get what you're saying though

    Yeah you're right. For some reason I thought he won it against Mir @ UFC 100.

    The way the UFC works now Brock would probably only have to beat Hunt to get a title shot if he had a legitimate contract with the UFC. They have been known to skip over the legitimate contender to give the PPV draw a Title shot. Plus I dont think the UFC wants Cain to get his Title back (especially after pulling out of the original UFC 196 SB weekend) with how much he gets hurt and i doubt they care about a Miocic/Werdum or Overeem/Werdum rematch.

    Expected this, but looks like WWE's already trying to get UFC fighters possibly even for summerslam in August.


    WWE Potentially Seeking UFC Fighters to Appear at SummerSlam as Part of Brock Lesnar Deal


    Since news broke that Brock Lesnar would be fighting at UFC 200 in July, there has been a lot of speculation as to what WWE would be getting in return for Lesnar appearing at a such high profile UFC event. It seems quite obvious that UFC will be promoting WWE in some fashion, likely the WWE SummerSlam PPV in which Lesnar will return to a WWE ring.

    Additionally, PWInsider.com is reporting WWE might be seeking UFC fighters to appear in a segment at SummerSlam, similar to the way Ronda Rousey appeared at WrestleMania.

    Specifically, WWE might want some of the female UFC fighters to appear at SummerSlam, and a particular name that has come up is Paige VanZant, who recently placed second in the finals of Dancing With The Stars.


    WWE reportedly reached out to VanZant’s manager and there was at least some communication between both sides.

    Also Brock's doing an interview with Paul Heyman tonight at 7 eastern, could be great.

    Why would Brock want to return to the UFC and get his a--- beat again? Dudes too slow. He fits the wwe better.

    Not only that he has more skill of a wrestler. He's not made like a couple rednecks just throwing haymakers in the UFC. I try to get into the UFC multiple times per year and is boring as s---. Not an exciting sport at all .you maybe see 5 punches land the whole fight while 2 guys are gassed out the rest of the time rolling around on the ground. I'd flip the Boston avy dude in a arm bar real quick, real s---.

    Vince will always be richer than Dana White and a more successful business man.

    He said he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't give it another shot.

    I mean if brock is going to feel better about himself beating a 45 yr old up then so be it. Dana doing some good trolling and once brock wins this he'll set brock up against someone who will beat his a--- like Cain did.

    White was pissed as h--- a few years back when Brock said the Vince does a better job at the business than Dana.

    What's the guys record that Brocks fighting? Was he a champion before? The last UFC ppv I blew money on is when Brock got beat by Cain. I was the only person at my friends dorm betting on Cain. Only won a s-----y half gallon of Vladimir out of the bet, but I still won.

    Is the fight going to be worth buying you guys think or is it going to free?

    Is UFC 200 the same price as their other PPVs by the way or are they jacking it up since it's 200? Not sure if I should just order it or go to a bar somewhere, I'd hate having to get there so early for a bar though, I imagine it'll be packed and hard to get a seat.

    Ask redsoxx, we know he keeps up with his s--- on this stuff but I must have made him mad when faded the other night. Don't really remember what I did.

    Pretty cool read btw about wwe possibly trying to get some UFC people at summer slam that u posted. These 2 sports helping each other out instead of being rivals would benefit both sports, imo. Just don't throw UFC guys in some crazy, injury risk predicament.

    Imagine at one point brock having the UFC title and wwe title. Imagine Heymans promos in the wwe and the crowd reaction. Would be great if Hayman gets to do a promo at UFC 200 right before the match. I would definitely watch it then lol
